Where You'll Stay
Guests will stay at a beautifully private coastal retreat, meticulously crafted by a British-Sri Lankan female designer. Nestled in Weligama, this sustainably built haven offers a true home-away-from-home experience, complete with a private shala and a dedicated team of managers, butlers, chefs, and gardeners.
At this private House, you will have the opportunity to engage in daily activities, from engaging workshops to delightful meals. This stunning residence has been recognized by Conde Nast Traveller as one of the “24 Best Places to Go in 2024,” celebrated for its creative, spiritual, and healing allure.
Your host will be residing here, and there are three additional en-suite rooms available for guests. If you wish to be at the heart of the retreat experience, consider staying in one of these rooms.
Just a 2-minute walk down the same road, you’ll find another exquisite retreat, the luxury five-bedroom villa. This elegant four-story villa features its own lounge, kitchen, pool, terraces, and expansive grounds. Its design is a stunning blend of traditional Swahili, Arabic, and Sri Lankan architectural influences, with each of the five en-suite bedrooms offering breathtaking ocean views. An on-site manager is available to ensure a seamless stay.
Guests will enjoy all dining and activities at the main House, which is a charming and short stroll away.
Both villas promise unparalleled luxury and tranquility, offering a perfect escape in this serene coastal setting!
