The Egodawatta Lane Residence
Perks for the Parents
Close to some of the best surf breaks, beach bars and lively eateries of Sri Lanka’s superb south coast, this deeply luxurious villa really does have it all, boasting views of the ocean, a swimmable lake, games pavilion and floodlit skate park for the kids. It sleeps 10. With a walled garden of 9000sqm there is space and also privacy here. Comfortable seating provides a lovely area to relax away from the heat, and views over the pool and gardens are stunning. Dining areas under the veranda are a place for long meals in the balmy warmth of the evening.

For kids who love water, this place is a dream come true. Not only is it within easy reach of a beautiful beach, but there’s also a pool and a swimmable lake at the centre of the property. Adventurous kids can jump into the lake from the garden above. In the grounds is a slack line for balancing, a trampoline, and a purpose-built floodlit skate park, all within easy reach of the villa. An open-sided games pavilion with a pool table will also keep them busy for hours while parents relax.

Style Notes
Exclusive tropical luxury. The hilltop setting of this villa offers blissful views of the sunrise and sunset. Cool, contemporary buildings are set within swaying palm trees and there are plenty of comfortable and secluded spaces where you can gaze out over the pool, gardens, lake and ocean. This is an extraordinary place which you’ll never want to leave. We love the many different dining options, the gorgeous bedroom suites with crisp, white linens and natural stone bathrooms, and the beautiful gardens with the skate park and games room where the kids can really kick back too.
