Best time to go

Sri Lanka has generally good weather year round but does have two monsoon seasons in two different regions. From late May to late September, the southwest lowlands and central hills are affected and from November to February, the northeast side of the island is affected. March to mid-April is generally dry throughout the country as is June to September though it is hot.

Our thoughts

With a full staff and service team on hand, beautiful property, and great location, Ani Villas is a great resort with plenty of space making it ideal for larger groups and families.
