Overview

Taprobane Island was originally built in the 1920's by the romantically named but self styled Count de Mauny-Talvande. The island with its neo palladian mansion has played host to kings, queens, presidents, prime ministers, aristocracy, writers and eccentrics, giving it a very colorful history, which guests can now share.

The Island comprises 2 ½ acres of sheer tropical fantasy with nothing between it and the South Pole. Accommodation is provided for in 5 en-suite bedrooms, with spacious living areas, balconies, verandahs, tropical gardens and a stunning infinity pool. A staff of 5 caters for your every need; in fact after arrival, guests frequently never leave the Island until their departure.

Taprobana offers nine supremely comfortable rooms designed in colonial style.

All rooms have en suite bathrooms with hot & cold water showers, and balconies or terraces that look out to lily ponds and frangipani trees in the garden or across coconut palms towards the ocean.
