Beach House

The Beach House is barefoot luxury at its very best having been fully upgraded to meet the demands of the most demanding modern beachcomber.This Dutch colonial building was once the home of an American artist, American artist Douglas Johnston who lovingly restored this colonial property into an idyllic beach retreats with the help of his friend Geoffrey Bawa, Sri Lanka’s most eminent architect.

The bungalow has been painted in shades of blue and white highlighted in some places by ochre to make it stylishly blend in with its beach surrounds.

The Beach House has four doubles and one twin room. One bedroom is housed in its own garden cottage. All bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms with h/w showers, washbasin, and w/c. Rooms have four-poster beds with mosquito nets, tiled floors, and large windows with security grills.The garden sofas and chairs beside the manicured lawn are ideal to relax in especially as you close your eyes and listen to the gentle crashing of the waves of the sea just footsteps away.An enclosed sitting room leads onto the front terrace with blissfully comfortable lounging seats looking over across the Indian Ocean. Shaded by palm trees this large swimming pool remains invitingly cool all day.

For those wishing to venture than the ocean on your doorstep; day trips can easily be made to the game reserve at UdaWalawe,neighbouring rock temples, turtle hatcheries, bird sanctuaries and vibrant local markets.
