We are proud to share that Aavya Cove Villas was recently featured as part of the British Guild of Travel Writers’ (BGTW) historic visit to Sri Lanka — the largest group of international travel journalists, bloggers, and photographers ever to tour the island!
This incredible group journeyed across Sri Lanka to experience the country “on paths less travelled”, including eco-adventures, cultural experiences, and hidden gems — one of which was our very own Sea Garden at Aavya Cove, designed by the renowned Dooland de Silva.
Following their visit to our seaside sanctuary, the group also met the celebrated designer at the lush and inspiring Brief Garden, originally created by Bevis Bawa in 1929.
Aavya Cove was highlighted for its serene beauty, eco-conscious setting, and its connection to Sri Lanka’s rich garden and design heritage. We are honored to have been part of a journey that showcased the very best of the island — not just its beaches, but its art, culture, and sustainability.
