Offered to a small number of guests each year who need to step away from the noise and return to something that matters. The book waiting to be written. The research waiting to be done. The song waiting to be heard.
A family home in Kamburugamuwa, three kilometres from Mirissa. The trees are older than any of us. For a few months each year, we open it to a small number of people who need what a place like this gives. It is not for everyone. That is part of why it works.
For researchers, remote workers, writers, and professionals who need a real base in southern Sri Lanka for a couple of months.

Whole villa, exclusive use. Come for a few days and actually live somewhere, not just pass through.
We don't have a pool. We have 60 perches of trees instead. Our guests keep telling us they didn't miss it.

"The best experience of our already fantastic trip to Sri Lanka. The villa is welcoming, well-equipped, and has every comfort. Every morning: fresh coconuts from the garden, smoothies, and hearty local breakfasts customised to our tastes. I highly recommend the property and Kumara!"
"A unique, unforgettable experience. The owners were incredibly friendly, kind, and helpful, and so was our guide Kumara. Clean and modern with all the comforts, where modernity and local culture come together beautifully. Highly recommended."
"What an incredible accommodation: two kitchens, the best shower we had in Sri Lanka, spacious bedrooms, and a garden full of native birds, fresh bananas and coconuts. The host made us feel right at home, cooked traditional meals, gave us a garden tour, and shared an incredible amount of tips for our whole journey through Sri Lanka."
