With the new normal, staycations are the order of the day and what better way to embark on your very own staycation than with a stay at the Island on Bolgoda. This is absolutely perfect for those who want a holiday away from the crowds and enjoy a sense of exclusive isolation. Holidaying on private islands has long been the exclusive domain of the rich and famous. Think of Princess Margaret’s holiday bolthole, Les Jolies Eaux on Mustique, and billionaire Branson’s Nekker island in the British Virgin Islands and you will get my drift. But now, with the arrival of the Island on Bolgoda on to Sri Lanka’s landscape of private villas, you too can enjoy the taste of island living albeit more in the style of a modern day gentrified Robinson Crusoe and still have some cash to spare!
