Description

Tropical Hideaway on Mawella Beach

Set along the peaceful shores of Mawella Beach, this charming beachfront residence offers an intimate tropical retreat on Sri Lanka's unspoiled southern coastline. Surrounded by lush gardens and abundant wildlife, the 807-square-foot home embraces indoor-outdoor living, natural beauty, and coastal tranquility.

The residence features one inviting bedroom with a king-size four-poster bed, a spacious bathroom, and a comfortable living area with two sofas that can accommodate two children. A well-equipped kitchen, handcrafted furnishings, locally woven textiles, and Sri Lankan artwork create an inviting atmosphere.

Designed to capture cooling sea breezes rather than rely on air conditioning, the home features ceiling fans throughout. Its open tropical design allows nature to become part of the experience, and occasional visits from geckos and insects indoors should be expected.

Outside, an impressive 18-by-5-metre private swimming pool is surrounded by tropical greenery and sun loungers. The veranda provides a peaceful setting for outdoor dining, while dedicated staff assist with cooking, housekeeping, and shopping.

The nearby breakwater creates sheltered waters suitable for swimming. A short stroll past the traditional fishing harbour and cricket pitch leads to Mawella Beach's beautiful sandy crescent, with several excellent restaurants nearby.

Particularly suited to couples and families with older children, the residence offers an authentic connection with nature. Two sofa beds (225 × 85 cm), located in the living area, can be prepared upon request.
