Malabar Hill
Weligama

The villas at Malabar Hill boast of panoramic views of the Indian Ocean with its white sands of Weligama Bay and rare Hillside views over an emerald wetland sanctuary. Staying in the accommodations here is like being one with the natural setting, while enjoying the luxuries of timeless design. Taking inspirations from her lifetime of travel in Sri Lanka, designer Lawson Johnston created Malabar Hill as an homage to artisan craftsmanship. You will find reclaimed wooden doors, carved windows, balustrades and locally handmade terracotta roof and floor tiles. The dining spaces, both indoors and under the blue sky, allow you to sit back and unwind as the Malabar Hill staff look after you regally.

The Malabar Hill Experience Coordinators are experts in suggesting things to do in Weligama and nearby areas. You can indulge yourself in a private spa or yoga session, a well-stocked library, a picnic hamper for a day on the lake, a visit to their laid-back haven on the Mirissa beach, The Shack or the local village to enjoy a Temple greeting ceremony.

Things to do:

• Whale Watching near Mirissa Beach
• Leopard Excursion to Yala National Park
• Elephant Excursion to Uduwalawe National Park
• Galle Fort Guided Tour
• Madu River Safari
• Virgin White Tea Plantation
• Mangrove Lagoon Boat Safari
• Unique Cinnamon Tour at Top House

To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.
