Villa Godahena

An old colonial villa carefully restored to keep the original character and to provide luxury and modern comforts.

The villa sleeps up to 6 people in three air conditioned bedrooms with four poster beds - two doubles (one with a queen sized bed) and the third with two single beds. Each bedroom has an en suite bathroom with outdoor shower and there is a living room, kitchen and a veranda for relaxing and dining overlooking the 40 foot long private swimming pool and the lake.

Breakfast, daily housekeeping, filtered water and wi-fi are all included.

Near the South Western coast and the Indian Ocean and in probably one of the most beautiful regions of Sri Lanka, this is a large private property in the quiet village of Godahena with direct views over the 390 hectare Madampe lake. The landscaped garden contains many different types of trees and plants, including medicinal plants and tropical fruit trees supplying the villa. The immediately adjacent lake creates a unique biodiversity and there is a great variety of birds, wildlife, different types of vegetation and fish.

At least one member of staff will sleep in the adjoining service house overnight and if you prefer not to cook for yourself, you will be able to order lunch or dinner from our reasonably priced menu. The manager and his team will be available to answer all of your questions and needs, including arranging tuk tuks to take you to the nearby town of Ambalangoda (which is about 6.5km away) or longer trips to see some of the many interesting things in the area.

Close to paradise and an ideal place to totally unwind and relax - yet, only about two hours from Colombo and the airport (depending on the traffic).
