A Tropical Paradise Crafted by Passion
Imagine a secluded hilltop in Sri Lanka, adorned with over a hundred swaying coconut trees. Here, the Indian Ocean’s waves break against the lush jungle backdrop. This magical spot captured the hearts of Arnoud Oostenbroek and Anouk Brouwer, a Dutch couple whose family holiday transformed into a lifelong love affair with this enchanting land.
🌿 The Birth of Tabula Rasa Resort & Spa
Arnoud and Anouk’s journey reads like an adventure novel: machetes slicing through dense jungle, scooters weaving through the wild, and a vision taking shape. Inspired by the Dutch concept of “gezelligheid” (cosiness), they founded Tabula Rasa Resort & Spa. Their passion project blossomed into a haven for family, friends, and the local community.
