Overview

Set within close reach of Mawella Beach, and a short drive to Hiriketiya and Tangalle, this elevated development plot enjoys sweeping west-facing ocean views across secluded bays and towards a striking headland.

The upper section is relatively flat and well positioned for a build. Access will require improvement, but once addressed the land offers clear potential for a standout coastal project in a fast-growing stretch of the south coast.

Mawella Beach is fast becoming one of the most sought-after stretches on Sri Lanka’s south coast. Set slightly back from the main coastal road, it enjoys a quieter, more relaxed feel than many neighbouring bays and, through considered development over the years, has attracted a well-heeled visitor profile.
Boutique properties such as The Last House and Halcyon Mawella help define that tone. While activity on the beach continues to evolve, we do not anticipate any wave of budget-led development that would materially alter its character.
The property, and Mawella Beach itself, are about 10 minutes drive West of Tangalle, the nearest large town on this stretch of coast.

Access to the Southern Expressway is around 15 minutes drive, bringing Colombo and the International Airport well within the 3 hours.
- Mawella Beach - 3 minutes drive
- Hiriketiya - 15 minutes drive
- Amanwella - 15 minutes drive
The land does not currently benefit from active electricity or water connections. However, with high-quality villas developed along this stretch, extending services to the plot would not be unrealistic as part of a considered build.
Access is via a 15-foot-wide track road that connects easily to the main Matara–Tangalle road, providing straightforward approach while retaining a sense of privacy.
Subject to thoughtful improvement of access within the site itself, the land presents a compelling development opportunity.

The relatively flat upper section offers the most practical building footprint, gently cascading down towards the oceanfront portion below, and provides a natural platform for a well-positioned coastal residence.
