This majestic five bedrooms hilltop haven is a dream for families. As well as being exceptionally spacious, private and tranquil, the sublime Pooja Kanda Villa is wrapped by two acres of tropical garden overflowing with exotic flowering shrubs and fruit trees; home to a dazzling array of wildlife and exotic birds.
Designed in the Dutch colonial style, Pooja Kanda Villa blends the new with the old. Imposing pillared verandas furnished with rattan loungers spill onto an emerald lawn and lead into airy living and dining areas through elegantly arched doors. Two of the bedrooms are on the ground floor whilst the rest are located on the first floor, basking in views across the garden.
The villa’s jungle swimming pool is blissfully inviting, as are the cabinets of well-thumbed books and air-conditioned TV snug for catching up on the world’s news. Nothing is too much trouble for the attentive staff team; whether you need a tuk-tuk to explore the local sights, a sumptuous seafood barbecue or a special birthday surprise, they will make it happen.
Groups of friends and families will love the villa, which comes with plenty of children’s facilities including a pool safety fence, two extra beds for kids, a cot and baby equipment. Even if you come as a big family group, the villa’s roominess allows each generation ample space to relax and unwind.
Pooja Kanda Villa is located on a hilltop in a rural village a few kilometres inland from the coast at Habaraduwa with many attractions close by. These include miles of golden beaches, Koggala Lake and southern tea plantations, whilst the striking UNESCO-listed Galle Fort is only a 20-minute drive away. Activities include cycling Galle’s hinterland, scuba diving and whale watching. Pooja Kanda Villa makes a blissfully idyllic base for exploring the picturesque southern region of Sri Lanka.
