Where you’ll be

Habaraduwa, Southern Province, Sri Lanka

This amazing beachfront vila is gorgeous and will provide many happy moments. Fully staffed, to help you enjoy your stay to the maximum.

Kilometers of unspoiled beach and azure blue and emerald green ocean. Turtle spotting, long walks on the beach, loads of coconuts and our mysterious Puzzle Fruit Tree.

We provide a complimentary tropical breakfast. And our staff are available to cook delicious meals for lunch and dinner.

Within a 100 meters there is a trendy upmarket hotel that offers wonderful food. There is also a number of beach bars and upscale restaurants to enjoy. There is also an abundance of beach side cafes and restaurants along the beach.

The best beach club - Angel Beach Club - in the country is just a 10 minute ride away. Our house manager can reserve you a day-bed and hook you up with VIP treatment.

Safe swimming areas can be found within a 5 - 10 minute walk.

Whilst all beaches in Sri Lanka are public, we are fortunate that our beach is very quite and most days very few if any bathers are present. Providing you with the ultimate experience.

Our staff will pull up our bespoke sun-beds and the Adirondack deckchairs, so you can sunbathe on our sun-kissed beach.

Habaraduwa was previously a fisherman's haven. There is a plethora of seafood right on our doorstep. Many locals still venture down early in the morning or just before sunset to fish. Quite a site to watch them real in their bounty.

Lake Koggala is just 5 minutes away. You can enjoy boating or sunset cruises around the vast lake. One of the biggest in the country. There's an abundance of nature to view and fantastic vistas.

A public Golfcourse is less than 5-minutes away. Play on a course where you might even be lucky to view a crocodile sunbathing on the ajacent lake.

Puzzle Beach House is located in the 'Golden Mile' of Sri Lanka's southern coast. Extremely private and boasting one of the countries most beautiful beaches.

Enjoy!
