Brand New Retreat in Sri Lanka opening 1 February 2025.
Nestled in the hills behind Dikwella and the stunning Hiriketiya bay, this sanctuary spans 4 acres of tropical jungle filled with wildlife and bird song.
The house, terraces, and infinity pool all look out over the trees to the Indian Ocean: it's such a peaceful and magical spot. We’ve got our own organic cinnamon plantation - plus a veggie garden, coconuts, mangoes local fruit trees - so you’ll be truly connected to nature during your stay.
Besides the stunning 60 sqm infinity pool, there’s a yoga Shala, three large ice baths, two dining areas, a sun deck, and lots of options for forest walks, private moments, or just relaxing in nature. Whether you want to take a peaceful stroll or enjoy a quiet meditation, there's space for everyone to recharge.
The main house has three large en-suite bedrooms downstairs, which can be set up as two twin rooms & a triple. Each room comes with its own open-air bathroom, so you’re never far from nature. Upstairs, there’s a double/twin room with an outdoor bathtub, and a spacious terrace. There’s also an additional upstairs living room with a double sofa bed, sharing a WC with the neighbouring room. With all the rooms set up, you can accommodate up to 11 people; without the extra sofa bed, it’s 9. All the rooms can also be arranged as doubles. This flexibility lets you arrange the space to suit your guests.
We also have a separate staff house, where we can offer a twin room for the hosts to stay.
Your stay includes Full Board, with an abundance of nutritious meals a day, plus refreshing juices, & spring water. Our team—comprising a villa manager cook, housekeeper, gardener, and 24-hour security—will be there to ensure your experience is seamless and relaxing.
We aim to be as eco-friendly as possible. Most of what we don’t grow or make on site will come from local farmers and artisans. The estate’s water comes from a deep well, and our gardens are fertilized organically. Plus, the villa is cooled by fans, along with a refreshing breeze from the hillside, to keep the temperature comfortable.
We can assist with airport transfers, local tuk tuk or taxi transportation, and organizing activities such as kayaking, diving, safari tours, whale watching, scooter & surf board rental & surf lessons. Take full advantage of the villa’s peaceful surroundings with activities to connect you to nature and local culture:
Take a guided walk through the jungle, discovering its abundant wildlife.
Get hands-on in our organic garden, or learn the secrets of Sri Lankan cooking with our chef.
Take a mindful stroll through the rice paddies to experience the peaceful village life.
