Overview

This beach villa must have one of the most unique and enviable locations of any in Sri Lanka. High up and tucked slightly away from the Western end of Mawella Beach it has supreme views south over the Indian Ocean. Views North look out over Mawella Lagoon and from certain points of the land you see the full sweep of Mawella Beach itself.

The villa was designed and built by an English architect and has Tropical Modern styling with a simple, minimalist feel. Floor-to-ceiling pivoted doors swing open making the most of the views from every bedroom and living space

The house has three bedrooms, one with private ensuite bathroom and two that share a bathroom. The central space offers an open plan kitchen and living area; all opening to a terrace that overlooks the garden running down to the beach.

From the villa you can walk across the rocks at the bottom of the garden a short distance (20 metres or so) to what is effectively a gorgeously private beach - the only access being from the house.

There’s no such thing, technically, as a private beach in Sri Lanka but this is about as close as you’ll get.

Flanked by headlands with no development it is a stunning spot. The sea is swimmable for good parts of the year but just enjoying the beach itself, tucked away from any other visitors, feels a genuinely luxury experience.

Mawella Beach is fast becoming one of the most sought after on Sri Lanka’s South Coast. Somewhat distanced from the main coastal road it has a quieter feel than many others and, with smart development over years attracts a well-to-do set of visitors.
The likes of The Last House and Halcyon Mawella define that trend and, while things are happening on the beach, we don’t foresee any stampede of more budget-focused development to greatly change that feel.
Around the headland from the Western tip of Mawella Beach the villa is within walking distance of that beach and a short drive (10 minutes) from Hiriketiya and Dickwella.
Tangalle is the nearest large town, also around 10 minutes drive. Access to the highway is typically via Beliatta with Colombo and the International Airport around two and half hours drive.
The owners have rented the villa with decent occupancy and there’d be the option to keep the listings it has on several platforms.

For buyers looking to expand the operation there is significant scope, with a good deal of land untouched, to create new rooms or cottages/cabanas.
The property is connected to the municipal/government water supply and has a three-phase electricity connection.

The property is owned within a company structure and the owners intend to sell the property via a sale of the company.
