GFAB Architects blend nature with traditional modern architecture to lend this tropical paradise a luxurious look.
Heritage luxury

Perched on a hill and nestled under a canopy of trees, Haritha Villas + Spa is a stylish boutique resort that redefines luxury with its unique architecture and artistic, intricate and smart design. Designed by GFAB Architects, the property is set on a sloping hillside and offers 9 unique accommodation options that allow each guest to enjoy tropical serenity amidst luxury.

GORGEOUS VIEWS AND MORE...

The topmost part of the hill accommodates the colonial villas, the originally built colonial mansions, overlooking a paddy field. The two mansions have a shared saltwater pool and offer stunning views. The expansive rooms transport one back to the Ceylon era of the royals. The hotel's public spaces i.e., the Sala Sala lounge, the restaurant, the common saltwater pool and the library are on the level below, again offering uninterrupted views and a tranquil ambience to unwind.

Here, chic designs and minimalistic tones are carefully combined with modern and colonial architectural styles to offer you serene spaces perfect for your relaxation. Across the public spaces, on the slopes below are perched stunning contemporary villas, each with a private plunge pool and a seamless design with Balinese influences.
