At the villa, on request
- Cooking with the villa chef. Curries, sambols and hoppers made in the villa kitchen, from coconut scraped by hand to the tempering of the spices. Then you eat it all.
- Dancers and drummers at the villa. An evening of Kandyan and low-country dance and drumming on the lawn, arranged for a celebration or simply for the night.
- A spa ritual for two. Two therapists, two hours and oils blended for the day, at the villa or in a spa pavilion among the tea.
- Ayurveda, properly. A consultation with an Ayurvedic doctor, then treatments and food shaped to you. For a few days, or as a programme of two weeks or more.
