M-Beach House by Boutique at Mawella Bay
About the Home
This stunning bayfront compound in southern Sri Lanka’s Mawella Bay consists of three architect-designed pavilions and a pool, surrounded by an indigenous flowering garden. Ideal for families or a small group of friends, it sits at the junction of the lush jungle and the Indian Ocean. With a blend of traditional Sri Lankan architecture and modern coastal decor, this getaway offers a luxurious, relaxed escape. The fully staffed compound features four bedrooms, each with views of Mawella Bay or the sparkling pool, surrounded by tropical landscaping and swaying palms. The pavilions blend tropical British Colonial style with modern coastal design, creating an elegant yet laid-back atmosphere. One pavilion is a contemporary ambalama, inspired by traditional Sri Lankan shelters, offering a poolside living and dining area that is open to the outdoors. The property’s organic vegetable garden and fruit orchard provide fresh ingredients for three daily meals and a cocktail hour prepared by in-house chefs. Located on the serene Mawella Bay, one of Sri Lanka’s most beautiful and protected swimming beaches, the villa is a perfect base for exploring the south coast’s rich offerings. The area is known for its mix of jungle and ocean, offering opportunities for sailing, sea kayaking, and fishing. Nearby Hiriketiya provides surfable waves, while the traditional market town of Tangalle offers a taste of local life, delicacies, and stunning beaches. Tangalle’s coastline varies from tranquil coves to wilder shores ideal for beachcombing. The Mawella Lagoon’s mangroves are perfect for kayaking and birdwatching, and the golden sands of Rekawa Beach serve as a nesting ground for endangered sea turtles. Cultural attractions include the Mulkirigala Rock Temple, offering panoramic views and ancient cave paintings. For wildlife enthusiasts, the national parks of Udawalawe and Yala provide opportunities to see elephants, leopards, and more. The Hummanaya blowhole, known for its dramatic waterspouts, is another nearby highlight. This property provides an all-inclusive experience with in-house chefs preparing meals using ingredients from the villa’s organic garden. The villa also offers the opportunity to host events, making it a versatile space for both relaxation and celebration. Please note that guests are required to complete a check-in form after booking.
