Ambalama is a Sinhalese (an ethnic group native to Sri Lanka) word that translates into ‘a welcoming resting place for weary travelers and pilgrims’. After many years of living in Asia, Chris Kidd has the vision to create a 21st-century interpretation of the word “Ambalama” that centered around reconnecting with one’s self.
In order for guests to truly relax, Chris knew he couldn’t simply create luxury villas – he had to create spaces that felt like homes. Every detail was taken into account to allow guests to rest and recharge—from the design of the villa to the interior furnishings, staffing, and the guest liaison. Chris also knew the importance of connecting with his guests directly, which is why he continues to actively manage the business.
In 2006, Ambalama Sri Lanka was opened and its success led to the opening of Ambalama Bali in 2014. With over a decade of experience and an eye for detail, many of our guests return regularly to what they consider as their “home away from home.” Please read our Tripadvisor reviews for Sri Lanka and Bali to see more guest feedback.
We recommend you allow us to arrange airport transfers since the drivers are familiar with the villa location and we have the flexibility to provide the size of the van/car required. Transport for whilst you stay can be easily arranged – just ask the Villa Manager. Rental per day, including driver and petrol is quite economical and varies depending on size and type of vehicle.
Children of all ages are welcome at Ambalama villa, and many guests enjoy family holidays with us each year.
Please bear in mind that the Ambalama villas have a swimming pool, several water features, stairs and height drops, so it’s important to keep an eye on wandering young ones. With that said, our staff are very experienced with young children and babysitting can be arranged.
