But there is an unfailing feeling of camaraderie where everyone understands that time is a fluid concept and the moments of each day are more important than checking items off a to-do list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">Basic utilities, fans and lights will cost you from about $US25.00 a month to running a full house with fans and air-conditioning which will roughly be about $150 a month or less.\u00a0 Home cooking groceries will run you about Rs.10,000 to Rs.15,000 a week and that is being very generous, with a night or two out for dinner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">A beer will cost you Rs.450 (that\u2019s about US$2.49 dollars).\u00a0 A local meal of fresh vegetables, meat and rice will cost you about Rs.350 (that\u2019s about US$1.94).\u00a0\u00a0 You can gather a large basket of fresh mangoes, papaya, bananas, watermelons, avocado\u2019s when available, greens, onions, garlic and limes for about Rs.2,300 (that\u2019s about US$12.75).\u00a0 A 40.00 Rupee bus ride takes you into Galle Fort and a tuk tuk will cost about Rs.350 (local price about US$1.94).\u00a0 It\u2019s easy to fly in and out of\u00a0Sri Lanka with direct and one-stop flights daily.\u00a0 From the airport it\u2019s an hour and a half on the express highway.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">There\u2019s an active expat community on the island, and many expats spend their time enjoying the stunning natural environment and outdoor activities: volunteering at their local schools or favorite nonprofit, running a business part or full-time, attending a gym or yoga studio, and participating in the myriad social activities and local events. \u00a0You\u2019ll often find that you need to juggle your social calendar as you meet new, interesting friends, some of whom live on the island, and others who pass through on a regular basis. For me, retirement on the Southern Coast never gets boring.\u00a0 Mostly retired, the expat population in the south frequent social clubs, art galleries, museums and caf\u00e9s. Throw into that mix some dinner parties, and beach BBQ\u2019s and you get a good idea of how active the expat population is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">Western-style shopping is the norm, and good beaches are on your doorstep.\u00a0 You can be enjoying the ocean views within minutes of leaving your home or hike through the jungles and never see another soul for hours on end. \u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s warm and balmy 12 months a year. Everyone seems to love the warm weather, cheaper prices, and of course, the legendary friendliness of the Sri Lankan people. It is this that made me feel right at home here in Thalpe. English is widely spoken, so I don\u2019t have to worry about being misunderstood. \u00a0No matter what your tastes are, you\u2019ll find it here on the southern coast of Sri Lanka.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">Thalpe, is a beautiful spot on the Southern Coast of Sri Lanka.\u00a0 Tamba Villas, a 37 boutique villa project is destined to be a private community where expats and locals mix and create endearingly intimate neighborhoods.\u00a0 Each villa affords every modern amenity.\u00a0 The upkeep of the tropical landscaped gardens and waterways, pools and external areas are all covered by a management fee.\u00a0 And if you are going back overseas, either just lock up and leave or hand it over for short term rental till you are back in town again.\u00a0 It\u2019s as simple as that.\u00a0 Television, cell phone service, and high-speed internet are all available and if you have some business to conduct, there is a fully serviced business centre on site.\u00a0 A villa on the estate can be bought freehold, that means you own the Title a 100%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">The tiny road fronting Tamba Estate is a quiet and leafy, rural area and one of the most sought-after neighborhoods on the island.\u00a0 Views are quintessential Sri Lankan\u2026sandy white beaches and lush green palms. It\u2019s the kind of scenery that keeps your blood pressure in check.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">The dress code is \u201cbeach casual\u201d.\u00a0 Style Your Life the way you want it.\u00a0 A choice worth considering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\"><a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tambavillasthalpe.com\">www.tambavillasthalpe.com<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"mailto:info@tambavillasthalpe.com\">info@tambavillasthalpe.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of The Best Islands to Retire &#8211; Beautiful Sri Lanka \u201cNow I live every day as a holiday, a simpler, better life.
