About the villa

Wonderfully designed by Geoffrey Bawa, The Last House is a stunning beachfront villa nestled on Tangalle's coastline. Inside the property, the decor is primarily a combination of fresh, whitewashed walls and polished grey floors, the perfect backdrop to a number of antique and contemporary furnishings, art and fabrics. All together, the house is colourful and cool, simply ideal for restful, laidback living. The villa includes five open and luxurious bedrooms, each with modern comforts and plenty of room. 'Na' is a large double bedroom on the ground floor, overlooking a small lagoon and views over the beach, complete with an en suite and vanity. 'Atteriya' is a double room with extraordinary sea views, an en suite and direct access to the front and rear garden. The third ground floor room is 'Moonamal', with stunning sea views, access to the garden and an en suite. Head upstairs to discover the 'Cinnamon Hill' en suite rooms. The twin room is large and spacious, overlooking the sea and garden, with a cast-iron bathtub and twin vanities. The double room has similar views, a cast-iron tub and a balcony overlooking the beach, which is well-suited for private dining upon request. Private dining can also be arranged on the verranda or on the beach for a romantic evening. 

Among the lovely tropical gardens are plenty of spaces for dining and relaxing, equipment for beach games, surfing and boarding, and croquet. For those seeking oceanic exploration, a small fishing-boat can be hired for a day of fishing or snorkeling around the nearby bays and beaches. Within reach of The Last House are UNESCO heritage sites, cave temples, game reserves including leopards, elephants and many more species, the country’s most diverse bird sanctuary, blue whales and a golf course. And with direct beach access too, this villa is truly the perfect retreat for an island escape.
