Between the river and the break

The villa stands on Balapitiya's golden stretch with the Indian Ocean at its feet — the Madu River's mangrove islands minutes one way, Galle Fort an easy run the other.

Field notes

N.01The Southern Expressway exit at Welipenna puts Colombo and the airport within easy reach — we arrange transfers both ways.

N.02The rock pool in front of the villa is swimmable most of the year; the house keeps a surf report for the beach break.

N.03December to March is the dry glassy season; the southwest monsoon brings dramatic skies from May.
