We booked this villa for our family holiday and this is really best place, if you like a rest closer to the nature! You will not need a TV, cause the "National geographic" will shows directly from the verand )) The villa having very comfortable and creative design, with perfect pool and palms outside. Quiet place with fantastic lake view! Sampath and his team always ready to do all you need for the best and comfortable rest! The beautiful kitchen, cleaning and ready to fix ALL your's requests (really, guys was ready to bring us a coffee at 4.00 a.m.!) No one problem with contact, booking, payment, check in/out. Also from this location you can easy reach many interesting places (turtle beach, tsunami museum, Galle fort and e.t.c.) by car or taxi.

This stunning luxury boutique villa is designed for 6 people and will welcome you for an unforgettable stay in a preserved eco-system. The villa is is located in a small village next to the Madampe Lake and is only 1km from some beautiful, sandy and quiet beaches and 5 minutes by tuk tuk from the nearest town of Ambalangoda. Breakfasts, daily housekeeping, laundry and filtered water are included as well as A/C in the bedrooms, wifi, satellite TV, DVD reader and DVD library and speaker systems. There are 2 master bedrooms, with both indoor and outdoor en-suite bathrooms, each one sleeps 2. In one of these, the king size bed can be separated into 2 single beds. The 3rd bedroom has 2 single beds (which can be joined or separated), with an indoor bathroom. A contemporary bespoke design, but with antique windows and doors, smooth white concrete floors and an eclectic mix of furnishings. The living areas are wide and spacious. The kitchen is between the patio and the living room, but the resident chef can cook for you in the kitchen of the adjoining service house from the reasonably priced menu. The infinity pool has breathtaking views over the Madampe lake and is 16' x 50'.
I am a British guy who loves spending time in Sri Lanka. My villas are in the Ambalangoda area, that has amazing palm fringed beaches and a 390 hectare lake. I have a local partner and team and we are hoping to welcome you soon, so that you can enjoy the best of Sri Lankan hospitality.
Ambalangoda is a bustling town with many things to see and is regarded as the heart and soul of southern art and culture, with its gifted mask artists (see the famous mask workshop and museum), historic bell tower and temple and as a centre for antiques. The area contains some of the most beautiful palm-fringed beaches on the west coast. Not far from the quiet beaches, the 390 hectare Madampe lake creates a unique biodiversity and there are a great variety of birds, wildlife, different types of vegetation and fish. Take a trip in our boat and relax, whilst listening to the birds and enjoying the serenity of the lake. Ambalangoda has both railway and bus stations and is about 13 km from the Southern Expressway (E01). Not far away can be found the longest reclining Buddha statue in South Asia, a moonstone mine, turtle and fish farms and the lively town of Hikkaduwa. Within just over 30 minutes by tuk tuk is the renowned Galle Fort UNESCO World Heritage Site. The famous Sinharaja rainforest, the Udawalawe wildlife park, the city of Kandy with the sacred Temple of the Tooth or a tea estate and factory can be reached during a one day trip, which our villa manager can arrange.
