Sisindu

Sisindu C is one of Sri Lanka’s most idyllic, yet intimate, beach houses. Perched beside a magnificent sandy stretch of beach in Habaraduwa on the island’s southern coast, this two-bedroom villa is every bit the tropical beach pad. Its beauty is in its implicit simplicity; the villa consists of little more than a spacious open plan ground floor area with full kitchen and lounge, which is complemented by a deep veranda for dining and two identical upstairs bedrooms. Whether sleeping, lounging or gorging on the chef’s wonderful home-cooked dishes, panoramic vistas of the ocean prevail. Even the villa’s colour scheme - all sea greens and sky blues - richly reflect its tropical coastal locale. The villa’s location is excellent; the beach beyond the villa is wide and long, so it’s perfect for a morning or evening jog or stroll, and almost next door to Sisindu C is a turtle hatchery. Galle is a 20-minute drive from the villa.

Sisindu T is a truly beautiful house situated in an eight acre estate of tea, cinnamon, pepper and fruits, a wonderful place to explore by foot or bicycle. Set 800 feet above sea level and just 10 kms from Galle, Sisindu T has beautiful views over the stunning tropical countryside in all directions. Designed by one of Sri Lanka’s foremost architects Sunela Jayawardene, the villa comprises six ensuite bedrooms, all luxuriously appointed with cleverly incorporate natural features such as natural rock boulders, tropical trees growing through the roof and opened sided rooms allowing amazing views. The huge living and dining areas surround a magnificent kitchen and have commanding 360 degree views. There is a roof terrace ideal for sunset drinks, and there are numerous other secluded sitting and chilling out areas, and an air conditioned TV room with vast lounging sofas. There are always cooling breezes and the villa is set off with a stunning infinity edged L-shaped swimming pool, from which one can enjoy wonderful views of the surrounding area. It is a perfect holiday setting for a group of friends or families travelling together.
