ABOUT HORATHAPOLA

Horathapola Estate is 50 acres of serenity, nestled within the balmy vibe of rural Sri Lanka. The design aesthetic of Horathapola Bungalow features touches of modern luxury that complement the stateliness of colonial architecture. The furniture is antique, the cuisine is a riot of colour and flavour, and the mood is languid.

The bungalow’s grandiose architecture is matched with a priceless collection of Sri Lankan antique furniture – some pieces are as old as the bungalow itself. A lush garden skirts the building, and features a salt-water swimming pool, a Jacuzzi, walking trails, and vibrant birdlife. Beyond the garden, the foliage extends into a live organic estate. Coconut, fruits and vegetables, herbs and spices, and rice are all grown organically and sustainably, supporting around thirty families in the adjacent village.

The bungalow features 5 spacious bedrooms with en-suite, oversized bathrooms. Each room has its unique view of the garden, and ample seclusion in the form private balconies, patios and verandas.

An independent two-bedroom lodge with its own garden offers a more private option, which is ideal for honeymooners or small families.

Horathapola is within an hour’s drive from the airport. Rid your jetlag by spending a couple of lazy days being spoiled by our staff, and let the love affair with Sri Lankan cuisine begin! Alternatively, a stay at our bungalow at the end of your trip is a great way to catch your breath from a hectic itinerary around the island. Take the time to unwind and soak up the essence of island living.
