What is it Really like?
The Island comprises 2 ½ acres of sheer tropical fantasy with nothing between it and the South Pole. Accommodation is provided for in 5 en-suite bedrooms, with spacious living areas, balconies, verandahs and tropical gardens. All double rooms open onto their own private terraces with panoramic views out to the Indian Ocean and beyond. These are spacious enough to retain your privacy yet perfect for celebrations and gatherings. A stunning infinity pool overlooking the Indian Ocean provides the perfect place to cool off under the shade of swaying palms or simply to relax and sunbathe watching the world go by.
Where is it?
Taprobane Island sits just 200 yards off the Southern Coast in the centre of Weligama Bay – a 4 ½ hour drive south of Colombo’s International Airport or, for guests wishing to come by helicopter, a journey that takes less than one hour. The island is just a 30 minute drive south of the Southern Provinces capital, Galle – home of the historic UN World Heritage site of Galle Fort. Access to the island from the coast is usually made by wading through the surf on foot, or by some, on elephant or sedan chair!
