Pointe Sud, near Mirissa
Pointe Sud’s spectacular clifftop perch makes it one of Sri Lanka’s best located villas. Standing proud amidst a beautifully maintained tropical garden blessed with lawns, lily ponds, swaying coconut palms, pavilions and a striking infinity swimming pool, this five-bedroom villa decadently surveys the Indian Ocean. A flight of 100 steps descends the front garden to a semi-private beach.
The villa is reminiscent of a colonial house yet the Palladian-style property was built in the 1980’s complete with cathedral-style central living room, timber gallery, five bedrooms (including a separate bedroom on a lower floor with garden access), modern kitchen and sea-gazing front veranda. The house is stylishly furnished and well equipped, and is ideal for families and groups seeking absolute privacy.
The villa is staffed by an efficient team including cook, and backed up by an on-call management company who can assist with local transport and tours.
