Samudra House is a small and charming villa, set on the Koggala Beach, southwestern coast of Sri Lanka. Designed by one of Sri Lanka's premier architects, Jayatillaka Sumangala, the villa is newly built and yet you will see aged Dutch tiles, squat veranda columns and recycled timber door frames that reminisces Sri Lanka’s golden era. Situated on a wide, mile-long beach near Kogalla, home to marine turtles, this is an incredible generous escape for a family or two couples.
Set within walled gardens, Samudra House has just two spacious bedrooms with a wraparound veranda, fronting a swimming pool, and the sea beyond. Interiors are furnished with antique style king-size four-poster beds, huge wardrobes, study tables and lounge chairs to enjoy the visiting birdlife. There is a large living area, open plan kitchen and outdoor dining pavilion, as well as an inviting infinity pool overlooking the sea.
Guests at Samudra House begin their day walking on the beach, sometimes volunteering to help out the turtles reach safely to the sea. The villa comes fully staffed with a chef, so you can eat what you want and when you want it. For daily errands, there is a houseman, night watchman and a laundry lady. The staff will also organise your day trips to Galle, where you may spend a day, exploring the Galle Fort, or take a half-day excursion to see the whales.

Location Samudra House is located in Habaraduwa, just 10km from Galle and close to Koggala Lake. Situated on Koggala Beach, this is one of Sri Lanka's most beautiful coastal spots.
Getting there Fly into Colombo's Bandaranaike International Airport. From there Samudra House is a 3-4-hour drive away by private car.
When to go Sri Lanka is a year-round destination with consistently warm temperatures and lots of sunshine. 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.
