Make the most of your stay
The villa's own panoramic padel court is open to guests, with a shower, WC and free Wi-Fi courtside. There is table tennis on the restaurant floor, and water polo in the courtyard pool.
Whether you are after stillness or adventure, the villa and its coastline oblige — from a morning on the padel court to blue whales at dawn off Mirissa.
Steps from your room, open to guests through the day.
Villa Verner is home to a panoramic padel court on the Matara coast, with its own shower, WC and free Wi-Fi courtside. Whether you’re a seasoned player or picking up a racket for the first time, the court is open to everyone — guests and visitors alike. Equipment is available on-site and bookings can be made online at srilankapadel.com.
Our pool is the centrepiece of the main villa’s inner courtyard — perfect for cooling off after a day at the beach or simply lounging poolside beneath swaying palms. Bring company: there is always room for a game of water polo.
The table tennis table stands on the restaurant floor — the villa’s whole third storey — and is available to all guests throughout the day and evening. Bats and balls are always at hand.
Our cozy lounge area is designed for both relaxation and work. Complimentary coffee, tea, drinking water, and fresh seasonal fruit are available throughout the day. In the comfortable seating area, you can work, listen to your favorite music, or enjoy fun karaoke sessions. A selection of board games is also available for guests, offering a great way to spend quality time together.
A short walk, a drive along the coast, or a full-day trip with local guides.
Weligama Bay, a short drive away, offers long forgiving waves for beginners, while the reef breaks at Mirissa and Hiriketiya deliver consistent swells for the experienced. We partner with local surf schools for boards and instruction.
From November to April the waters off Mirissa are among the best on Earth for sighting blue whales and sperm whales, often joined by pods of dolphins. We arrange dawn departures with responsible, ethical operators.
The reefs of Unawatuna, a short trip from the villa, are home to reef fish, sea turtles and coral gardens in warm, clear water. PADI-certified dive centres nearby offer courses and guided dives to wrecks and deeper sites.
The Mulkirigala Rock Temple keeps two-thousand-year-old cave shrines and murals atop a granite outcrop, while village temples closer to the villa offer a quieter glimpse of daily Buddhist life. We arrange guided tours with local guides.
A day trip into the hill country winds through misty roads to Ceylon tea estates more than a century old. Walk the rows with the pluckers, tour the factory and finish with a guided tasting against highland scenery.
