SERVUS, 

​

OUR NAMES ARE RENATE, MAXIMILIAN AND MICHAEL. WE ARE A GERMAN FAMILY, WHO THANKS TO RENATE, THE DRIVING FORCE, MOM OF MAX AND MIKE, WAS ABLE TO START A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT LIFE, WHICH WE HAD PROBABLY NEVER PLANNED OR IMAGINED BEFORE.

 

IN 2012 WE DECIDED AS A FAMILY TO TAKE A BOLD STEP AND LEAVE EVERYTHING BEHIND IN GERMANY, OR BETTER SAID, SELL EVERYTHING WE FELT WAS "NORMAL".

 

IN 2012 WE TURNED RENATE'S DREAM OF LIVING IN A WARM COUNTRY INTO REALITY WHEN WE BOUGHT A PIECE OF UNTOUCHED JUNGLE IN THE LOWER SOUTH OF SRI LANKA NEAR THE SMALL FISHING TOWN OF TANGALLE.

 

SINCE THEN, WE PROBABLY COULD HAVE WRITTEN MORE BOOKS THAN J.K. ROWLING. THE ONLY THING THAT HAS PREVENTED US FROM DOING SO IS PROBABLY THE TIME WE HAVE INVESTED SINCE BUYING AND OPENING.

 

SINCE DAY ONE OF OUR LONG-TERM PROJECT, OUR JOURNEY HAS BEEN A PERIOD OF UPS AND DOWNS.

 

SOME WOULD SAY EXCITING AND THRILLING, THE OTHERS INSANE AND COMPLETELY MADDENING.

 

LET'S JUST SAY IT'S 2023 AND WE'RE STILL HERE AS A FAMILY, SPENDING EVERY SPARE MINUTE CREATING AN OASIS FOR ALL OUR GUESTS, GUESTS THAT TURNED INTO FRIENDS, FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES FROM OUR OLD HOME TO ENJOY WITH US IN THIS EXTRAORDINARY PLACE OF WELL-BEING.

 

OUR CONSTRUCTION PHASE CAN HARDLY BE MENTIONED OUT LOUD OR WRITTEN DOWN ON PAPER. WE REMAINED TRUE TO THE GERMAN ACCURACY AND THE MOTTO "IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING".

 

SIX DIFFERENT ROOMS, A GARDEN AND A RESTAURANT HAVE SWEETENED AND SALTED US SIX YEARS OF OUR LIVES, BUT WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO HAVE ENTERED THIS PROJECT WITHOUT ANY CONSTRUCTION KNOWLEDGE, BECAUSE WITH ONE THING WE ARE ALL THREE SURE "IF WE HAD KNOWN THE EFFORT IT TAKES TO BUILD THIS PLACE, WE COULD BE IN THE BEER GARDEN IN MUNICH RIGHT NOW AND NOT WITH HYDROMETER UNDER PALM TREES"!

 

NEVERTHELESS WE LOVE HOW OUR LIVES TURNED OUT AND THAT WE´RE ABLE TO SHARE OUR MAGICAL PLACE WITH GUESTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.

 

RENATE, MAX & MIKE
