Our attention was immediately drawn to this villa, just a short drive from Galle and surrounded by swaying palm trees. It's spread across several pavilions, and at the heart of the complex is the swimmable lake, which provides hours of fun for little ones and grown-ups alike. Although, with a zip line, private pool and even a skate park here, there'll be something to entice every member of your group. Alongside the fantastic amenities, you'll also have access to on-site staff such as housekeeping and a cook – plus, your host can arrange day trips, airport transfers and other concierge services, too.
