🏆 Finalist, Sri Lanka Tourism Awards 2024 🏆 Cassia Hill is a grand colonial villa with modern luxuries on a secluded hillside of tea and cinnamon with sweeping views, 8 minutes from the coast. Sumptuously appointed, the villa is fully staffed to serve you. A peaceful haven free of the coastal railway noise of beachside villas, but close enough to enjoy all that Sri Lanka has to offer!

The space
Cassia Hill is a newly renovated, grand colonial-style villa designed by George Cooper of Kahanda Kanda fame. Tastefully decorated with an eclectic mix of vintage Raj-era and modern furnishings, the villa is nestled in a tropical garden on a hillside of tea and cinnamon with sweeping views, just 8 minutes from the coast. Enjoy sunset drinks on the sweeping verandah under lazily turning fans, or lounge in the infinity pool or hammock, to the sound of distant temple chants and the chattering of wildlife in the trees.

Guest access
Guests have full use of the main villa with 4 luxurious bedrooms and an attached villa with 2 smaller bedrooms and a living room. The main villa has an infinity pool and grand verandahs, and both villas are surrounded by a garden with plants and trees.

Other things to note
The villa is equipped with broadband WiFi, large-screen plasma TV, multi-region DVD player with a library of films, satellite TV, and a Naim sound system with iPad music library. Plus we have classic board games if you want to go retro! For power outages, the property has a backup generator, and there is round-the-clock security.
