Eraeliya Villas and Gardens

The Eraeliya Gazette

Welcome to The Eraeliya Gazette: inspired by Sri Lanka’s south coast, the rhythm of the ocean, and everyday life at Eraeliya Villas & Gardens.

This is where we share stories that go beyond us, exploring Sri Lanka as a destination, from hidden beaches and cultural encounters to food, wellness, nature, and meaningful travel experiences. Along the way, you’ll discover how these moments unfold at Eraeliya: through our spaces, our people, and the way we host.

Whether you’re planning your first journey to Sri Lanka, shaping a south coast itinerary, or simply dreaming of the island, The Eraeliya Gazette is here to guide, inspire, and connect you to this part of the world, gently rooted in Eraeliya.
