Situated 2.5 hours’ drive North of Colombo’s airport on the West Coast, it’s the only house of this kind on a privately owned, pristine beach. Developed in partnership with Bar Reef Resort, situated 300 metres along the beach, the villa offers the best compromise in terms of both privacy and facilities. Alankuda Beach has to be one of the most exciting new tourism developments in Sri Lanka. Famous for the daily spectacle of thousands of dolphins, the odd whale and with its two kilometre golden beach and clear waters, it escapes the dangerous surf and currents of the resorts South of Galle. The villa, set 150 metres back from the water’s edge, is designed on an open plan basis with high ceilings, fans, polished floors and overhanging eaves in order to enjoy the cool ocean breeze while also bathing in the temperate light. Khomba House comprises two separate large double bedrooms, with their own en-suite facilities. Adjoining the master bedroom is a separate sitting room with three further daybeds. The main Veranda is very wide and stretches the full West aspect of the buildings with views over the sea. Every room has amazing views. It’s possible to lie in bed and watch the local fishing craft well out to sea.
