THE LAST HOUSE

With its incredibly private location on one of Sri Lanka’s most unspoilt and picturesque beaches, this stylish villa is the perfect escape. Aptly named, it is the architectural swan song of eminent Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa. The villa consists of five beautiful bedrooms that overlook the glittering Indian Ocean or the small adjoining lagoon visited by exotic birds such as kingfishers and herons.

The interior of this villa is striking; whitewashed walls contrast with distressed blue window and door frames. Bright cushions, vivid bedspreads and temple wall hangings enhance the cream-washed arches while large glass and teak tables are placed atop rush mats.

The in-house staff of five will pamper you with ease and provide for any need you may have. The swimming pool is privately situated to the back of the house while the elegant two-acre gardens have grassy child-friendly lawns. A little gate opens from the garden onto the long, beautiful stretch of sandy beach which is enhanced by coral pools that offer safe swimming year-round.
