Beachfront
Habaraduwa House nestles in an acre of lush, landscaped gardens bordering a golden stretch of beach. The house is designed as a series of stand-alone buildings, which means the four bedrooms enjoy total privacy, while all share the exhilarating experience of waking up to the sound of the sea.

LIVING AREAS
Originally built in 2001 by Australian architect, Bruce Fell-Smith, Habaraduwa House was purchased by current owners in 2011. The beauty of the property is in its elegant simplicity – each of the four bedrooms has impressive views towards the Indian Ocean, and the three front rooms have private terraces with steps that lead down to the lawn.
For meals, the dining ambalama, framed by vivid pink bougainvillea, is ideally shaded yet open to the sea breeze. A large, comfortably furnished sitting room forms the centre of the property and opens onto a spacious pool terrace. Adults and children alike love the games room – it is the ideal spot to curl up and watch a film or play board games on a rainy day.
In front of the garden, a wide swathe of golden beach, fringed with coconut trees, unfurls in both directions. From December-March, when the sea tends to be at its calmest, it is possible to swim directly in front of the property; however, at times there can be a strong undertow so swimmers should always be extremely cautious and children should be supervised.

STAFF & SERVICES
The comfort of Habaraduwa House is enhanced by the friendly team who manage it. A lot of care has been taken to recruit staff who really care about the property. The level of service, and the quality of the Western and Sri Lankan food produced by the chef, has meant that guests have made return visits, some staying for as long as a month.
