Habaraduwa House is a modern, boutique villa, set in the small village of Habaraduwa, close to Koggala, Sri Lanka’s southwestern coast. Originally built in 2001, Habaraduwa House was purchased in 2011 by an English interior designer George Cooper, who undertook extensive renovations and improvements. Occupying a prime location on the Habaraduwa’s palm-fringed beach, one of the widest in the region, it is now considered to be the best beach villa in Galle.
The Habaraduwa House is designed as a series of stand-alone buildings, comprising of four, impeccably decorated bedrooms that enjoy total privacy. The living room is the hub of the villa, making up the central area complete with beautiful French windows overlooking the pool and garden area. Exquisite meals including candlelight dinners are served in the wonderfully airy pavilion offering an exhilarating experience of dining within the sound of the sea.
Habaraduwa’s palm-fringed beach is one of the widest and prettiest in the region. Guests at Habaraduwa House can take a leisurely stroll along the beach to a beautiful lagoon safe for bathing. Further east, where the beach narrows, you can watch the stilt fishermen. Water sports in the region include water skiing and scuba diving and during season there are whale watching expeditions. Families with children will enjoy turtle watching on the nearby beach.

There are two monsoon seasons but they only bring rain to the west and south-west coasts from May to September; and the east coast and northern region between October and February. The rest of the year is sunny and dry but the months of December to April are probably the best time to visit. Colombo and the low-lying coastal regions have an average temperature of 27°C.
