Our stay at Villa Ad Astra was one of the most memorable experiences we have ever had. Ten days there felt rare, special, and deeply restorative.The villa itself is beautiful. Spacious, peaceful, and thoughtfully cared for, with a wonderful pool and grounds that invite you to slow down and truly relax. But what makes Ad Astra extraordinary is the people.Deepika’s cooking is world class. Every meal was exceptional and easily the best food we had anywhere on the island. Sumana kept the villa immaculate with quiet grace and incredible care, even with two small children constantly on the move. We also had the privilege of support from Bati, who cared for our children, especially our baby, with tenderness and warmth that felt genuinely personal.And then there is Nilanga. A true standout. Kind, attentive, joyful, and endlessly helpful, nothing was ever too much trouble. His presence alone elevated the entire stay.Through the warmth of the team, we also connected with the local community and were met everywhere with generosity and kindness. Jan and Agneta have created something remarkable, not just a home, but an atmosphere and spirit that feels like a small slice of paradise.Villa Ad Astra is not just a place to stay. It is an experience we will carry with us long after we leave, and one we would return to without hesitation.

Milanga took great care of us, driving us around anywhere we wanted to go. We saw and took pictures with an elephant, fed monkeys, and saw so many varieties of birds and animals on our river boat cruise, which was amazing! Also, our meals were all very delicious and prepared, and everything was kept tidy. We appreciate all their hard work and care for us! We would love to come back one day!

We are a family of six who had a truly wonderful stay at Villa Ad Astra. Everything was perfectly organised from the moment we arrived, including a delicious welcome lunch. The villa has a menu with meals that can be prepared for you, or you can choose to shop locally. Nilanga, the Villa Manager, was fantastic—he arranged fresh seafood and groceries, organised transport, and even accompanied us on trips to help with translation. His calm, helpful nature made everything easy.The villa itself is beautiful, and the pool was a highlight—we swam every day!The staff were exceptional. Depika, the chef, prepared amazing meals. Sumana, the caretaker, and Nirosha, the helper, were always smiling, friendly, and attentive. Their warm presence made us feel right at home.Tanushka, the gardener, even climbed the coconut trees to bring us fresh coconuts!We also want to thank the owners, Jan and Agneta, who were incredibly responsive and helpful in the lead-up to our trip.It was a relaxing, memorable holiday, and we can’t wait to return!
