A Seaside Villa in Mirissa
Five private rooms. Where life slows by the sea.
A seaside home where life slows down
Ayu, the Sanskrit word for life, gives the villa both its name and its philosophy.
At Ayu by TARA, we believe true rest is more than simply slowing down. It is about reconnecting, bringing the body, senses, mind and soul into harmony.
With just five thoughtfully designed rooms, Ayu is intentionally intimate. Five rooms mean a quieter experience, unhurried mornings, attentive hospitality and the freedom to feel that the seaside is truly yours.
There is no lobby bustle, no crowds and no impersonal resort atmosphere. Instead, Ayu is a small sanctuary by the Indian Ocean, a place to breathe, reconnect and simply be.
A seaside home where life slows down and you can return to yourself.

Discover the Best of Mirissa & the South Coast
Blue whale watching at dawn. Golden sands just moments away. Coconut Hill for unforgettable sunsets. Secret Beach for quiet escapes. And Weligama's world-class surf, just a short tuk-tuk ride away.
Ayu by TARA places you at the heart of Sri Lanka's southern coast, where ocean adventures, golden beaches and laid-back island life come together.
“Waking up to the sound of the Indian Ocean, breakfast laid out on the terrace, a desk that actually made me want to open my laptop. This is what a workcation should feel like.”
