The Film
Idyllic life at Tea Tree
Press play for a taste of life at the villa — the pool, the beach, the delicious food, the chillaxing areas and the amazing surrounds of the South Coast.
The Villa
Tropical modernism, barefoot ease
Tea Tree is a spacious, modern five-bedroom luxury villa set among tropical landscaped gardens on absolute beachfront in Ahangama. Designed from the outset as a family villa for multi-generational trips and groups of friends, it pairs contemporary architecture with a traditional Sri Lankan sensibility — open pavilions, courtyard gardens and rooms that flow out to the ocean.
The villa is run by a dedicated team of six full-time staff — including your own manager and chef — plus a night-time security guard, so every day begins with breakfast served by the pool and ends with sunset cocktails on the lawn. In between, the white-sand beach, safe swimming areas and two surf breaks are entirely at your leisure.
Rooms & Suites
Four ocean & garden king rooms
Four master bedrooms with king beds, built-in wardrobes, air-conditioning and lockable safes. Two open directly onto the beachfront; two face the landscaped courtyard, with views from your bed through the villa entrance and out to the sea. All are dressed in 400-thread-count cotton and soft furnishings made locally on the South Coast.
Indoor–outdoor ensuites
Every bedroom has its own generous ensuite with double basins and rain showers, plus a guest washroom off the kitchen. Three of the master ensuites open to private landscaped courtyards with indoor–outdoor showers — that unmistakably tropical moment of bathing under the open sky, wrapped in complete privacy.
The kids' room
Designed by owners with young families of their own, the largest room in the villa sleeps up to nine children across three custom-made double bunks — complete with stairs, storage nooks and embedded lighting. Two entrances open to the lawn and the courtyard, and its own ensuite includes a large bath, separate shower and double sink.

Surfing
Surf on your doorstep, world-class breaks around the corner
Ahangama is home to the most consistent — and arguably the best — surf in Sri Lanka, and Tea Tree has two reef breaks directly out the front, a rarity for villas on the island. It is what makes Tea Tree a genuine surf villa rather than a beach house near the waves: watch the sets from the lawn, and be paddling out inside five minutes. The stretch from Ahangama to Mirissa has been called Sri Lanka's answer to Hawaii's seven-mile miracle: lefts, rights, beachies and A-frames for every level of surfer.
The season runs October to May, but there are typically waves all year round. Boards live in the villa's secure surf shed, and lessons for beginners and kids are a short stroll down the beach.

The Location
Ahangama, the heart of the South Coast
Tea Tree sits on Ahangama Beach on Sri Lanka's spectacular South Coast — whale watching, turtle sanctuaries, stick fishermen and the island's most famous surf all within easy reach. Galle's UNESCO-listed fort, the cafés of Weligama and the bays of Mirissa are minutes away, while the villa remains a world of its own.
Beyond the beach
Ahangama makes an ideal base for exploring the South Coast — most of Sri Lanka's signature experiences are within a morning's reach of the villa, and our manager can arrange drivers, guides and tickets for all of them.
Whale watching, Mirissa
20 mins · Nov – Apr
Mirissa is one of the world's best places to see blue whales — the largest animal that has ever lived — along with sperm whales and spinner dolphins on morning boat trips.
Yala National Park

Leopards, elephants, sloth bears and crocodiles on safari in Sri Lanka's most celebrated national park — very doable as an unforgettable day trip from the villa.

Koggala Lake & stick fishermen

Ahangama's iconic stilt fishermen perch just along the beach, and boat trips on Koggala Lake take in cinnamon island, temples and birdlife among the mangroves.
