Guest comments 'Sri Lanka has been one of my most enjoyable and memorable vacations to date. My stay at Teak Villa added a sense of style comfort and personal service. The house manager was attentive, informative and helpful. The options of a personal chef, private pool and complete privacy were excellent. The location was exceptional, the beach, spa, water sports, restaurants and bars were all in walking distance. I am already planning a return trip.'
