1. What types of villas do you offer?
Two villa models are available :
– Signature Villa , with two en-suite bathrooms.
– Prestige Villa, with three en-suite bathrooms.
Each villa comes with a private pool, an indoor/outdoor living space, and refined finishes.
You also have the choice between two types of plots :
– A plot with a view over the rice fields, offering an exceptional setting
– A more accessible plot without a view, still offering tranquility, good orientation, and privacy.
These options allow you to create a project that perfectly suits your lifestyle and your budget.
2. Will the villas be fully equipped and furnished?
We offer two options to choose from :
– Unfurnished villa
, delivered ready to move in, with all installations (fitted kitchen, bathrooms, air conditioning, lighting, etc.) but without furniture.
– Fully furnished villa
, including all furniture, decoration, and equipment for immediate use or hassle-free rental.
3. What are the exact steps to buy an off-plan house?
The purchase process takes place in several key steps, all clearly structured and secure:
1. Selection of the villa and the plot
You choose the villa model (2 or 3 bedrooms) and the plot from the available lots (with or without a paddy view).
2. Sales contract and deposit
Once your selection is confirmed, our local lawyer drafts a clear contract in accordance with Sri Lankan law. You pay a 10% deposit, which officially secures your villa.
3. Administrative procedures
You will be guided through all formalities by a specialized lawyer: company setup (if purchasing through a structure), legal verifications, and acquisition of land ownership documents.
4. Official documents
Once the deposit is received and the procedures completed, you will receive the documents confirming the mutual commitment.

4. Can I purchase from abroad?
