Holidays to Share
Travel brings people closer. Whether it’s a romantic getaway with your partner, a hilarious holiday with friends or an unforgettable family adventure, travel experiences strengthen our bonds and form lasting memories. Sometimes – especially after a year like this one – you just need a perfect place to be together.
So we’ve curated a selection of gorgeous villas across Asia to suit groups of all sizes. Enjoy the tranquility, the tropicality, and the togetherness – we'll take care of the rest.
SRI LANKAVILLA HOLIDAYS
Sri Lanka is home to many astonishing boutique villas that offer calm and style, at incredibly reasonable prices. Over the 16+ years, we’ve been organising holidays to this magical island, we’ve scouted out the very best; the selection below comprises the South Coast’s finest, for that ultimate sun-and-sea experience.
The prices below encompass 7 nights at each villa (inclusive of chef and staff). The prices also include international flights, the services of a private chauffeur-guide throughout the trip, and three signature Experience Travel Group experiences. Experiences include a hands-on cooking class combined with a tour of Galle Fort, a visit to a tea and cinnamon estate, and a boating and cycling tour through picturesque local villages.
SISINDU C
Sisindu C offers a thoroughly chic beachfront experience. With airy modern décor and two large ensuite bedrooms, this hideaway is just 15 minutes from Galle Fort and 25 minutes from popular Mirissa Bay. Imagine yourself stepping from the veranda to the swimming pool, surrounded by beautiful gardens and palm trees, before settling down on the ‘chill-out’ sofas, toasting the Indian Ocean with a sunset G&T.

KUMARA
Set in over two acres of stunningly landscaped gardens with views overlooking the tropical jungle canopy, Kumara Villa is also only a short tuk-tuk ride to the surf breaks of Mirissa and Weligama. With each of the 3 bedrooms located within its own villa, and the main kitchen set aside in its own pavilion, Kumara provides a refreshing sense of space and privacy.

With its blend of Dutch colonialism and modern living, Ivory House is a bright and modern villa nestled in rural Koggala, just 15 minutes from Galle Fort. It’s set in an acre of manicured gardens, with a large pool, great food and lovely rice-paddy views, and would be the perfect spot for two families to join forces in one extraordinary getaway.

KALUKANDA HOUSE
When they travelled to Sri Lanka with ETG, Dee and her family came across a piece of land for sale in Weligama and ended up lovingly building this special property there! Kalukanda is colonial in style with modern touches. It’s bright, airy and tastefully decorated with antiques and includes a large pool and four en-suite rooms. There is plenty to do around the villa, and you’ll have a tuk-tuk on hand to take you to nearby Galle for the day should you wish. Read more about Dee's story here
