Thamaravila

Thamaravila is a spectacular luxury tented camp. In fact, it is more accurately described as tented villa accommodation which sits in 8 acres of its own reserve just 15 minutes by jeep from the gates of Wilpattu National park.

The thought and design process that went into creating Thamarvila must have been all encompassing. The villas, each raised on stilts have air conditioning, a hard wood deck at the front and a paneled bathroom at the back with a vast polished concrete bath. If you want to hear the sound of nature whilst washing off the dust from your epic safari, you can do so in the outdoor shower at the rear of every villa with your modesty protected by giant bamboo. The bedrooms are beautifully appointed with cotton drapes hanging below the coconut thatched roofs, super comfortable beds and plenty of bespoke occasional furniture of cameras, binoculars and wildlife books. And saving the best will last, the floor to ceiling sliding doors on to the deck at the front and at the back from the bathroom to the outdoor shower mean that there is an inside out feeling in the rooms where you have views, light and nature all around.
