Nestled along the breathtaking coastline of southern Sri Lankan, Mosvold Villa is an ultra-luxurious destination that promises an unforgettable getaway. Set in a serene and secluded location, it is a haven of peace and tranquility, welcoming you to escape from the noise and chaos of everyday life.
Upon entering the villa, you will be greeted by a refreshing breeze from the Ahangama Beach, instantly relieving all the fatigue from your journey to the south post. The picturesque vistas of the azure water and the gentle sound of rustling waves makes it a ‘love at first sight’ moment. As you stroll down the hallway towards the garden, it feels necessary to take a moment and appreciate the beautiful sight of the greenery set against the backdrop of the sea.
Mosvold Villa is a part of the Mosvold Boutique Hotels, the brainchild of Nilanka Martinus, Sri Lankan hospitality entrepreneur and Kurt Mosvold, Sri Lankan hospitality entrepreneur and philanthropist. The villa has 16 rooms, and each luxury suite possesses its own distinct personality with a compelling story to tell. Every interior aims to pique the curiosity of the guests. It is worth mentioning that all the furniture and materials in the villa are locally sourced, providing an informed view of how the Villa has incorporated its Sri Lankan identity into this modern retreat. The attention to detail is evident in the minute elements, such as the embedding of rope into the main door of many suites and its noticeable thickness built to quieten the outside noise. The soft colours used in each interior, such as jade green and sky blue, evoke a sense of safety and comfort, similar to being in the familiar embrace of your own home.
The bedspreads on each bed are made of batik fabric, exclusively designed by the renowned designer Sonali Dharmawardena. These beautiful bedspreads provide a glimpse into the rich heritage of Sri Lanka as batik is one of the most popular designs in the Sri Lankan textile industry. These deliberate design choices invite you to close off the outside world and fully immerse yourself in the luxurious Mosvold experience.
