One of Sri Lanka’s most iconic villas
Meandering up the private drive past our ancient Banyan tree you’ll arrive at the walled entrance, with the family crest of the original owners over the front door. The narrow hall leading away from the door encourages you to walk through and as you do so the majesty of the views is tantalisingly revealed. Descending through the coconut plantation and manicured lawn your gaze will dance from the inviting water of the pool and pavilion across the wide white sandy bay with surf rolling in and out to sea. The dining table, the terraced seating area and bedrooms have all been carefully placed to enjoy maximum advantage of this stunning part of Sri Lanka.
