The Island
Private-Island Villa in Sri Lanka

Whew. Just got back from Sri Lanka. You ever been? Beautiful country. Great tea.

Anyway, they've got this incredible villa that sits on its very own little island. It's called Taprobane. You gotta go.

The island is only about 200 yards off Sri Lanka's southern coast, so to reach it you just wade through the Indian Ocean. Or perhaps take an elephant.

The villa is big and colonial, with five large bedrooms, and every bedroom has its own terrace. Five people look after your every need, and there's a private chef who cooks these amazing meals—Sri Lankan cuisine like fish curry and spicy grilled eggplant, or fusion dishes like salt and pepper calamari, crispy roasted potatoes and coconut flan. You'll eat like a prince.

There's not a whole lot to do at the villa, but that's what's great about it. You sit and relax, drink wine, sunbathe, read. There's an infinity pool to cool off in. You look out at the Indian Ocean, and there's nothing between you and the South Pole…

You'll surely come back refreshed, we can guarantee you that much.

And it'll be good for you to spend some time with your closest friends.

Because no man is an island.
