A 20km drive away from the World Heritage site of Galle Fort, this luxury villa in Sri Lanka is set in over one acre of landscape and bids you to discover her 4 en-suite rooms as well as her generous living areas. Whether you are seeking a private pool retreat or a family villa, The Mugatiya provides ample possibilities for both. Fully staffed with manager, housekeeping and security. The space There are 4 en-suite bedrooms available, each with a queen sized 4-poster bed. There is a daybed in 2 of the rooms which is convertible to actual single beds to accommodate further guests. There are two connecting rooms that can be used as a family suite. Each room has ample space and lovely views on the property. You will live and interact with carefully curated artifacts that we have obtained during our travels and living, including from Sri Lanka. The majority of large trees that came with the property were saved, and they provide welcome shade, animal habitat and history to the estate. Set on almost an acre of land, children and adults alike will be able to ramble and spy on a wide variety of wildlife including exotic birds, Langur monkeys and the "mugatiya" or mongoose. There is a mini soccer pitch available as well as some sports and games equipment. **Please note that unless booking the entire villa (8 persons), there is the possibility that you will share some areas of the villa with other guests. As the villa is well spread out on grounds larger than many small hotels with a good number of spaces available, you will still be able to have plenty of privacy.** Guest rooms are arranged in 2 buildings separate from the original house dedicated to dining, living and more. There are still other inviting and intimate spaces for gathering in smaller groups or to be by yourself, including a private pool and pavilion, a breakfast kitchen and a number of verandahs. All four guest suites have air conditioning and ceiling fans, as well as rain showers and views on the property. Broadband Wi-Fi is available. Guest access The old house is presently a generous stand-alone living space containing sitting and dining, where socializing can take place late into the night without disturbing the early birds. There is an annex with a kitchenette accessible to all guests as well as 4 bedrooms spread out across the property. This place is ideal for a group travelling together yet appreciating some space and privacy. You will benefit from an infinity swimming pool with padi views and extensive gardens, ideal for exploration and dreaming. Staff can also point out a tree that is lit by a good number of fireflies in the evening. There are no bathtubs and air-conditioning is restricted to bedrooms to respect the fact that the people of Sri Lanka are constantly facing the shortage of both power and clean water. Other things to note Unlimited drinking water that has been filtered by a world-class filtration system is available in our own kitchen. We do not provide disposable plastic.
