And to top everything, this paradise comes with deliberate touches of modern Zen and luxurious living.

The Plantation is a premium property in Galle, south of Sri Lanka, and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, that proudly bears the creative imprints of renowned Sri Lankan architect Manjula Kalhara, whose design work on the project gives due importance to the protection and preservation of the environment. All the 14 contemporary villas of The Plantation radiate of luxury and inspirational living. In building and operating the property, the developers, led by Dale Rennie, have made sure that no natural resources are ever wasted while The Plantation residents continue to enjoy a pampered and opulent lifestyle.

For his part, Kalhara has characterised The Plantation as “the quintessential lifestyle getaway that combines luxury … and comfort blended into a harmonious design.”

Built on a hilltop in the island that is steeped in history and culture, The Plantation boasts of pool villas, all crafted with command of Zen vistas, that epitomise of modern living and polished taste.
