Property Type: tranquil 2-bedroom hillside villa with private pool, rooftop terrace, basketball court, large private garden, and sweeping ocean views — ideal for families or friends seeking nature and stillness
The Situation Before The owner listed the villa on a single platform with minimal pricing strategy. Occupancy sat at around 30%, and monthly net profit averaged $500. Pool upkeep, garden care, cleaning, and utilities consumed up to 35% of the income. The villa’s rare combination — mountain quiet, ocean panoramas, a basketball court, and a rooftop for sea breezes — was virtually unknown to high-spending guests looking for a restorative hill-country escape.
What We Did
Analytics & Dynamic Pricing Researched the boutique hillside villa market along Sri Lanka’s southern coast. Deployed a dynamic pricing model that rewards extended stays: the monthly rate is set at $1,850. During the peak winter season (December–March) the monthly rate rises to $3,200. These monthly rates represent gross rental income before operating expenses, not the owner’s net profit.
Professional Marketing A full professional photoshoot showcased the villa’s serenity: the infinity of ocean from the rooftop, the private pool against the jungle backdrop, the basketball court, and the king-size bedrooms with blackout curtains. Listed on Booking.com, Vrbo, and premium travel platforms, then launched targeted campaigns towards families, small groups of friends, and couples from Europe, Australia, and North America looking for an active yet peaceful hill retreat.
Service & Cost Optimization Streamlined cleaning, pool maintenance, and garden care into a seamless weekly schedule. Leveraged the on-site café that delivers meals to the villa. Built a concierge menu: airport transfers, scooter and car rentals, guided hikes, whale-watching trips, and private chef dinners on the rooftop. This added +12% to the average booking value.
Transparent Management The owner now receives a monthly report with all receipts, invoices, and a clear income-expense breakdown. Utility payments, tax compliance, and coordination with the on-site café are fully handled.
Results of Cooperation Adelia Group now runs all bookings, multilingual guest communication, housekeeping and garden staff coordination, and financial reporting. The owner has zero operational involvement.

“The view from the rooftop alone is priceless, but it took Adelia Group to turn this hillside gem into a steady income. We now get guests who stay for weeks, breathe the fresh air, and treat the villa like their own sanctuary. Every dollar is accounted for, and we just enjoy the monthly reports.” — owner of Kumo Ocean View Villa.
