Introduction
Villa Mayurana has a gorgeous rural setting on the northern side of Koggala Lake on a cinnamon plantation amidst spacious, landscaped tropical gardens. This intimate four-bedroom villa has stunning 360 views, which on a clear day, offers distant views of Adam’s Peak. The villa is surrounded by cinnamon plantations, and is an ideal base to learn about the early trade of this ancient spice. The Mayurana Gourmet Restaurant is eclectic with daily menus. The kitchen is manned by a personal chef who will design meals in consultation with guests on request, using produce from their own organic garden. Dining options at the villa include tables under the shade of trees by the pool, the verandah or the in-house dining room.
