In the southern part of the beautiful island of Sri Lanka, in Galle which is about 100 km from the capital Colombo, there is a paradise of green which is surrounded by hilly fields of tea and cinnamon.

In the midst of 5 acres of such beauty sits a palatial 150-year-old former British colonial mansion.

The building filled with the luxurious of modernity also carries the weight of a proud history with unsullied Rococo architecture both in its interior and external facade.

The traveler who visits today is simply soothed by this combination of unpolluted natural beauty and
the past.

This is the Shanthi-Lanka ayurvedic boutique hotel by Villa Jelilo’s.

The fresh clean air which is carried from the tea and cinnamon fields is ideal for healthy respiration and is the start of the healing systems at the resort … a place you’d never want to leave.
