Outline

A beautifully warm and welcoming beachfront villa on the very popular Weligama Bay on Sri Lanka’s Southern coast.

The house is one much loved and well used by its current owners who developed it considerately over six years.

With four bedrooms across two floors it offers ample space for a family. Its whole layout, in fact, is more family-friendly than many of the villas you might find here; the open plan kitchen and dining room space, as well as the very comfortable living space on the first floor, lending to groups wanting to relax into good amounts of time at the house.

Layout

The main entrance to the house opens to a central terrace with swimming pool, neatly shaded.

To the left of the pool, facing the beach, is the open plan kitchen and dining room, opening onto the garden - with ample space and layout for easy indoor-outdoor dining.

The smaller of the guest bedrooms sits to the left of the kitchen and also has direct access to the garden. A second guest bedroom (also ensuite with indoor/outdoor bathroom) sits to the other side of the pool.

The first floor offers a large sitting room space, enjoying gorgeous natural light from large windows and the French Doors that open to a wide balcony overlooking the garden and on towards the beach. Two large and equally beautifully lit bedrooms with very spacious modern bathrooms are either side of the sitting room.

To the roadside of the house there is staff accommodation and a utility space housing a generator. There is comfortable parking space for two vehicles.

Location and position

Weligama has a growing reputation amongst visitors to the South coast. The beautiful and wide open bay provides prime surfing conditions, particularly for beginners and intermediate surfers. Surf in the bay is consistent right throughout the year, and the ocean always swimmable (not the for several Southern beaches), and so appealing for guests 365 days a year.

The town itself is increasingly well served with restaurants and bars - the likes of Rise, Locale, and sushi restaurant Kaiyo all bolstering the foodie scene on this strip of coastline.

The house itself sits on one of the most popular stretches of beach on the bay. Mature vegetation at the front of the garden, however, shields it from the beach and gives a good sense of privacy.

Access to the Southern Expressway is around 15 minutes from the house meaning central Colombo is little over two hours’ drive and the main international airport not much more. The traditional hub of Galle is around 30 minutes drive west along the coast.

Commercial opportunity

The owners, while spending a good amount of time at the property themselves, have successfully rented it, maintaining good occupancy even through Covid-linked disruption. Any buyer has the option to take on the sales channels established as well as the team that carefully operates the rental side of the property.

The property consistently commands rates at and above USD 900 per night.
