Walatta House

Walatta House – Luxury Sri Lanka Villa

Walatta House is a three-bedroom, contemporary eco-designed villa, complete with a twenty-metre pool, ocean views and direct beach access. This Le Corbusier-esque design embraces the luscious Sri Lankan jungle with open-walls and open-skylights allowing an abundance of air and light to flow freely through.

Through this unique entrance of Walatta House, stepping down the concrete steps, with immaculately interwoven red brick walls, you will feel as though you have found an undiscovered secret. There is light at the end of the tunnel… out into an open-sided and planned living space (you’re by no means underground), complete with a breakfast table, separate dining table, L-shape sofa and coffee table garnished with the hand-picked flower of the day. Much like Le Corbusier’s Barcelona Pavilion, the décor is sexy and slick with grey, white and black furnishing, blessed with a balanced sprinkle of colour. The three bedrooms (king size, queen size and twin), all designed to focus and enhance the jungle that surrounds the house, are placed in a line, along the hallway entrance. French sliding doors allow you to enjoy all the splendours of the garden in air-conditioned comfort.  All three bedrooms have en-suite inside/outside bathrooms, designed with modern materials including polished concrete and bare red brick to complement the tropical flora, providing privacy and natural light… allowing just enough nature for when it calls! The Master Suite has a garden view and its own small terrace overlooking the pool.

Stretching the width of the open-sided living space is the twenty-metre pool that enjoys a south facing view over the Indian Ocean. Surrounding the pool is a crisp lawn, dotted with palm trees providing shade. A wooden sheltered table and chairs on the lawn make an ideal spot for breakfast. Stepping stones lead passed a reading deck down to the privately accessed beach.
