Villas
When booking a villa vacation in Sri Lanka with Wonderland Leisure, you may either reserve the full villa for your family and friends to stay alone or stay in a modest property with just a few other visitors. Sri Lanka boasts a wide variety of villas, from purpose-built beachfront homes to repurposed mansions in the city or hill region. Villas are thoughtfully decorated for concerned visitors and include amenities that distinguish them from hotels and make them feel more like homes.
While some villas have self-catering options, the majority have personnel who can help with cooking, housekeeping, and other needs. Many feature swimming pools, while others have TV or pool rooms. Villas may be rented for a few days or several weeks, providing an ideal starting point for a vacation in private settings as opposed to the anonymity of a chain hotel.
