A beautifully restored family home

High ceilings, traditional Sri Lankan red cement floors and warm wood finishings. The open plan in the living areas, typical of Sri Lankan architecture, encourages the flow of air and light, keeping the Villa cool and bright.

Our Garden

Planted long before us

When renovating we made it a priority to keep as many of the original trees as possible. Star fruit, king coconut and mango all fruit here, and guests are very welcome to help themselves.

Keep an eye out for our resident kingfisher and the nightingale that often visit.

The Pool

A plunge pool in the trees

An idyllic setting for al fresco dining, family gatherings and quiet relaxation, and the easiest way to beat the tropical heat.

Dining

Breakfast, and the juice of the day

We offer an in-house Continental or Sri Lankan breakfast on request. Our new juice bar uses locally grown, seasonal tropical fruit, so ask us about the juice of the day.

Fresh juices from local, seasonal fruit.

We are BYOB. You are welcome to order in other meals or bring your own drinks; we do not sell alcohol on the premises.

Location

A local neighbourhood, moments from the sand

We are in residential Mount Lavinia, a short walk from the beach by the surf life saving club and the bustling Mount Lavinia town. Colombo is just a 15–20 minute drive away.

We would love to welcome you to your home away from home.
