Villa Mawella

The stylish Villa Mawella luxury villa to rent on Sri Lanka is in a wonderful location, opening directly onto a secluded sandy beach on the south coast, and offering a superb seaside escape for families and groups. Designed by Geoffrey Bawa, the two-storey villa offers 5 fan-cooled en-suite bedrooms, each opening onto gardens and sea views. There is also a courtyard swimming pool and a grassy lawn for playing cricket, volleyball and badminton. Cooled by ocean breezes and with garden and sea views, the pillared verandas are furnished with day beds for relaxing outdoors.

The villa comprises two interconnecting buildings in a horseshoe shape, with two bedrooms on an upper floor and a further three on the ground floor beside the courtyard swimming pool. There is also an open-plan living and dining areas, and a fully equipped tropical kitchen. The two upstairs balcony-wrapped bedrooms, one double and one twin – can be booked individually, which makes this spacious residence ideal for couples and families alike.

The villa is fully staffed and the chef serves up some of the region’s best Asian-fusion cuisine. The accommodation is offered on a bed and breakfast, half board or full board basis. With the beach on your doorstep and national parks within reach, this is a fabulous villa for families seeking both activites and relaxation. The house and gardens can also host intimate weddings and special events for up to 25 guests. Activities on offer here include a stroll or jog on Mawella’s two kilometre expanse of sandy beach, and surfing or body boarding in the Indian Ocean. Guests can also visit Mulgirigala, a sacred Buddhist site with ancient cave temples and superb panoramic views, travel to Rekawa by moonlight to observe nesting marine turtles or explore local villages and the wildlife-filled surroundings by bicycle. Further afield is a half day trip to Mirissa for whale/dolphin watching (seasonal), a day safari to Udawalawe or Yala national parks.
