Overview

Perfectly set into a gentle hillside and overlooking a gorgeous beach, this west-facing villa presents a rare opportunity to acquire a design-conscious coastal home along one of the island’s most desirable stretches of the Southern shoreline. The positioning is not only picturesque, but intentional - offering privacy and elevation - ideal for enjoying breathtaking sunsets and immediate access to the beach below.

Thoughtfully conceived, the villa strikes a gentle balance between contemporary design and natural integration with its surroundings. Drawing inspiration from ancient Sri Lankan architectural tradition, the home is wrapped in a distinctive screening system - a refined lattice that filters direct sunlight while allowing for constant cross-ventilation. That feature, paired with a verdant green roof, elevates both function and form: cooling the interiors naturally while creating a remarkable rooftop terrace with uninterrupted ocean views.

The villa offers seven spacious double bedrooms, all with air-conditioning, ceiling fans, and en-suite bathrooms. Five are in the main villa, including four first-floor suites with private balconies overlooking the garden and Indian Ocean. A ground-floor suite opens directly onto the pool deck, while two additional rooms enjoy private garden access.
The open-plan living space is designed for tropical comfort, drawing in ocean breezes and flowing seamlessly to the outdoors. A five-metre dining table - crafted on site and seating 14 - anchors the space, set beneath a custom light and facing the sea.

The adjoining bar, built into a teak feature wall with black marble countertop, conceals a fridge and wine cooler behind refined wooden panels. With rattan screens, sculptural stairs, and generous teak furnishings, the space shifts effortlessly from cool midday retreat to elegant evening gathering place - always accompanied by the rhythm of the waves.

A 20-metre infinity pool runs the full length of the living area, ideal for both lap swimming and relaxed lounging. A shallow 30cm section suits young children. The pool deck includes outdoor speakers and a convenient shower.
Talalla Bay is one of the South Coast’s most beautiful and, some distance from the current most-hyped spots, remains quiet and calm with a tourist scene of a slightly bygone period.
If the matcha lattes haven’t yet quite arrived here they’re available - along with other attractions - at the likes of Hiriketiya about 15 minutes drive East along the coast road.

Matara, in the other direction, is the nearest large town, with reasonable shops and a good private hospital (Asiri). Good international schooling remains some drive away, close to Galle but we’re excited to see the early shoots of a Galle-esque revival within the Fort at Matara; something that may significantly shift social and cultural life nearby.

Access to the Southern Expressway is quite direct from the house and so drive time’s to Central Colombo and the International Airport are around 2 hours 40 minutes.

That Expressway, of course, if taken in the other direction now quickly takes you to gorgeous lesser seen parts of the island - the Deep South, Yala National Park, and beyond - and opens access to the high Hill Country.
The property is currently expertly overseen and marketed by (surely) Sri Lanka’s most well-established villa management company.
New owners would have the option to simply retain that setup and we can share information on request as to likely rental income and costs.
The property is offered fully furnished and includes a generator sufficient to power the full property as required.
(Surfboards and a few personal items will be removed at time of sale.)
