    Everything about Parasol Dore is perfect! The location is top class. The folks who run the villa are fantastic hosts. If you are going to the southern coast of Sri Lanka, your trip would be incomplete without staying in this beautiful place!

    Great service - rooms were spacious and very clean. Julie and Jeremey are great hosts and have very trusted reliable contacts when it comes to logistic and discovering the region. We liked swimming in the pool with a view on the Ocean.

    Parasol Dore is a gorgeous gem of a villa, situated on a small and quiet beach near Dickwella. We loved the location, very quiet but within walking or short tuk-tuk distance to Dickwella and Hiriketiya when we felt like “opting in” to those other...

Parasol dore is a beachfront villa nested in the authentic village of Batigama, between the jungle and the Indian ocean. This is what we planned for your day: Wake up in one of two bedrooms with 180 degrees ocean view. Or in the jungle room with a luxurious private garden. Then come upstairs for a delicious breakfast with a panoramic view. Get ready to snorkel and swim with the turtles or get a private surfing lesson . Chill in the garden or in the pool. Until the ayurvedic massage therapist arrives and releases your tensions. Enjoy the sunset on the beach with cocktail in your hands why not a romantic dinner toes in the sand have a good night lulled by the waves. Don t forget to grab a souvenir in our shop.
We live 20m from the villa and will be happy to answer any questions you may have. With an extra fee, we can provide breakfast, let us know the day before and we will prepare a continental breakfast, served straight to your terrace. We can offer you services such as laundry, massages, cabs, airport transfers, dinner etc. for an additional charge.
Within walking distance of local shop 3min from the railway station and Wewurrukannala temple 5min from hiriketiya bay, famous for its range of restaurants 15min from the blow hole 20min sunset canoe in the mangrove 25min from Sk town for a private surf lesson
