Be enchanted by the stunning beauty of Sri Lanka’s south coast with an unforgettable stay at Royal Indigo. Relax and recharge as a group and rent the 4 bedroom seafront villa as a whole or rent a king room with an ensuite. Close to Unawatuna and situated on the Golden Mile of luxury Villas in Thalpe experience a special family or friends getaway or a romantic retreat for couples seeking serenity by the sea. Watch sea turtles laying eggs on the beach out front in season or swim with them several hundred metres up the beach from us all year round.
Take advantage of our huge sparkling seawater pool on the beachside or perhaps indulge in a spa treatment in the garden poolside or in the privacy of your room. Delight your palate with a menu curated by Erandi & our in-house Chef featuring both Sri Lankan and international cuisines and using fresh Seafood and other fresh daily bought ingredients.
Owners Stu & Erandi divide their time between Australia and Erandi’s native Sri Lanka. The Villa is a dream come true – after two years of planning with the help of local Architect Nuwan Gayanath , and having scoured the island for antique doors , windows , furniture and artefacts the Colonial style building with modern luxurious fittings creates a gorgeous retreat from which you can watch the blue Indian Ocean, sunrises & sunsets and relax. Beautiful accommodation and surroundings coupled with a wonderful team, who are like family to them, as our guests you will be welcomed and cared for like family as well.

“Where the sky meets the sea
And twisted old tree
Is the perfect hideout for my family and me
Stunning sights and culinary delights
A rope swing soaring to incredible heights
The guys looked after us even through the nights
Like Arnie said “I’ll be back”
We’ve not had the whole snack
But for now we leave with full hearts and a heavy rucksack
Thanks Royal Indigo Team. We love it here
