Although only 10 minutes walk to the beach and 15 minutes walk to the town, Mimosa sits in approximately 1 acre of mature tropical garden with many varieties of trees, fruits, plants, flowers, and shrubs. As such there is an abundance of wild life, including monkeys, mongoose, iguanas, butterflies, parrots, and many other species of exotic birds in the garden daily.

In the evenings, sat on the veranda at Mimosa you can hear the sound of the sea and watch fire flies in the trees in a subtly lit tropical garden.

 

Staying at Mimosa Villa will be a real Sri Lankan experience.

 

 

 

 

 

There are currently 2 double/triple bedrooms both with en suites and with private entrances. There is a further double and a single bedroom and an additional large main shared bathroom with hot water. All the rooms at Mimosa including a communal sitting room, a dining room and the front porch

(I can arrange to have you met at the airport) Bandaranaike/Katunayake International Airport is approx. 25mls north of Colombo city centre. The journey south on the coast road can take anything from 4-6 hrs. depending on the time of day but a new inland highway (expressway) from Colombo to Galle opened in Sept. ’11, there are a tolls to pay, approx. total 1200 rupees.
