Our residence villa is designed with a combination of old and modernity located in a 5-10-minute drive from the Kottawa & Athurugiriya highway interchange 30-45 minutes direct from the airport and 45 minutes to Hikkaduwa/Galle beaches. surrounded by tranquil wildlife around. Most of the guests staying with us enjoy learning about the culture, site seeing nearby and we love making memories together. Popular for family and friends to unwind, last few days or for long stays closer to Colombo. The space The villa Mandala is a spacious three-story 4BR home with a bathroom to each room, a small gymnasium, an open terrace, and a private balcony for each room. Built by using the least walls, and having huge windows to be able to connect with the beautiful nature and to have more light in the house. There are 4 rooms available to accommodate up to 10 guests comfortably and perfect for families or friends travelling together. Breakfast is a highlight for all our guests for $8 with both delicious Sri Lankan cousins and western by the pool. I and my husband live on the 1st floor in a very separate unit to talk care of everything. Wake up to the perfect sunrise and very often a free monkey show around the house, and cheeky king fisher’s taking a dip in the pool. Large back yard with a pool and many choices whether your choose to sunbathe, read a book under blue blossoms or do yoga for relaxation.
