Overview

Set on a wide sweeping stretch of coastline just north of Batticaloa, this 5-acre beachfront property offers a rare opportunity to create a standout hospitality project or supreme private escape on Sri Lanka’s lesser-developed East Coast.

Uniquely divided by a natural estuary that flows through the centre and along the southern boundary towards the sea, the land offers distinctive character and scope for creative, nature-integrated development. The front section, dotted with coconut palms, opens onto a wide, soft-sand beach, while the rear section features mixed dry zone vegetation.

Accessed via a track road just minutes from the main road, the site combines natural seclusion with connectivity, in one of the East Coast’s most scenic and serene beach settings. Its size, setting, and natural features make it well-suited for a boutique resort, wellness retreat, or high-end private villa project.

The land is relatively close - via the main coast road - to a more developed strip but this wide bay remains very untouched.
Its East Coast position, of course, means travel times from Colombo are lengthy - approximately 6 hours by car. That journey time will reduce quite significantly with the opening of Section 1 of the Central Expressway.
Access once off the main coastal road is on track roads for approx. 2km. These are relatively well maintained other than for the very last section which will need minor work.
There is no current water or electricity installation.
