Habaraduwa House
- Habaraduwa House, Habaraduwa, Galle
This villa in the south west is set in informal gardens which stretch down to the wide, soft beach, accessed through a private gate. Palm trees are scattered throughout the grounds affording welcome shade to guests relaxing with a book or dozing off their jet lag. The separate living, dining, and sleeping pavilions give the resort a Balinese flavor, but the wide windows, timbered ceilings and polished cement floors are pure Sri Lanka. The elegant hardwood, slatted shutters at every window ward off the noonday sun but allow the welcoming sea breezes through. The spacious living pavilion is placed centrally in the grouping and has elegant, comfortable furniture, colorful cushions, low tables with fresh fruit and wonderful extended window seating begging you to lie down and drink in the views across the garden and out to sea. The swimming pool is large enough to enjoy, yet small enough for young children to feel safe and there is plenty of lounging area around with sun beds and umbrellas for watchful parents or nanny. The low, woven fencing between the garden and beach also prevents small children from wandering too far. Stroll along this beach to a beautiful lagoon safe for bathing. Watching the stilt fishermen is an education in patience. The chef, presides over a modern, well equipped kitchen. Assisting him is a senior houseboy, and two more general staff. A night watchman and two gardeners complete the team, ensuring a well-run, spotless, stress-free visit.
Rooms
The villa ideally sleeps 6 adults and three children or two children and a nanny. There are 4 separate 'sleeping pavilions'.
Double Bedrooms
The villa features three spacious double bedrooms, each positioned at the front of the property to capture uninterrupted views of the ocean. Wake up to breathtaking sunrises, fishing boats on the horizon, and the soothing sounds of the sea, all visible from the comfort of your bed. Each bedroom is elegantly furnished with a king-size bed draped in mosquito netting, comfortable seating areas, soft furnishings, ample storage, and carefully selected décor that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. All rooms include private ensuite bathrooms equipped with showers and modern amenities.
Children's Wing
Located on the first floor of the original house, the dedicated children's wing offers a practical and comfortable space for younger guests. This family-friendly area includes a twin bedroom, a single bedroom, a cozy sitting area, and a shared bathroom, making it ideal for children, teenagers, or accompanying caregivers.
Dining
The open sided dining pavilion is close to the pool and has a large dining table for 'get together' meals. However, barbeques, picnics or intimate dinners a deux can be arranged anywhere or anytime around the grounds or in your room. Chef and his staff will be happy to help create any atmosphere you desire. Breakfast is provided and included in your room rate. Other meals are taken by arrangement with the chef. If you wish to dine in, he will suggest menus (some learnt on his secondment to the U.K.) and shop and cook for you. You may provide him with the anticipated amount of money 'up front' or visit the market with him to see what is on offer and the general cost of produce. As you may imagine, sea - food figures prominently in the local fare. Scrupulous kitchen accounts will be kept and presented.
