Apsara

Introduction

Aspara is a three-bedroom villa overlooking the tranquil Bentota River, one mile inland from Bentota town - one of Sri Lanka's most loved family resorts, where the beach is broad and the turquoise seas are ideal for surfing and swimming during the season from December to April. Aspara is a spacious and well-run holiday villa. Its river frontage location is ideal for those seeking a peaceful spot in a rural setting. The waterfront and the gardens attract many species of birds, monitor lizards and even the occasional monkey. Aspara offers comfortable rooms, living and dining area, and a swimming pool set in lush tropical gardens edged by the river. Aspara can accommodate up to six guests and is rented on a villa-only basis with meals provided at cost price.
