Scattered amongst paddy fields, with modern style furnishings, luxurious detached villas have four-poster kingsize beds, a courtyard and private plunge pool. Being an eco-friendly resort, guests are shuttled around in electric cars to its large infinity pool that overlooks the main Walawwa, the gym and the à la carte restaurant, Liya Wela. Canoeing and kayaking are available on the lake; other activities include cookery demonstrations, archery and horse riding.
