Pointe Sud
Mirissa

Perched high on a dramatic clifftop just beyond the golden shores of Mirissa, Pointe Sud is one of the south coast’s most coveted private villas, an elegant retreat that captures both the wild beauty and barefoot luxury of Sri Lanka. Part of the prestigious Eden Villas portfolio, this fully staffed, five-bedroom residence offers a rare blend of sophistication, seclusion and natural splendour, with sweeping views of the Indian Ocean and direct access to a quiet, virtually deserted beach below.

Pointe Sud is designed for relaxation, reconnection and escape. The villa’s striking south-facing position provides panoramic ocean views from nearly every corner of the house and garden, while its location, removed from the main tourist trail, ensures total privacy without compromising access to Mirissa’s vibrant beaches and whale-watching harbour just minutes away.

The five en suite bedrooms are spacious and stylish, with crisp linens, antique furnishings and calming sea breezes. Four are doubles, and one is a twin, ideal for families. The master suite features a large bathroom with bathtub and private courtyard garden, while the lower ground floor bedroom enjoys its own open-plan living area, offering extra space and seclusion. All rooms are air-conditioned and have elegant attached bathrooms with walk-in showers.

Interiors at Pointe Sud reflect a timeless, colonial-inspired charm; lofty ceilings, whitewashed walls, grand columns and dark wood floors set the stage for beautifully curated pieces, teak four-poster beds, woven textiles, and a tasteful mix of local and antique decor. The centrepiece is the octagonal pagoda-style living room, with deep sofas and wraparound views, perfect for an afternoon with a book or an evening drink as the light shifts across the sea.

There’s a formal dining room with a table for ten, a breezy veranda with comfortable seating and a well-equipped kitchen overseen by the villa’s in-house chef. A library with a generous book collection lies tucked beneath the house, and a hidden staircase leads up to a TV snug on a mezzanine, a quiet, cosy nook for movie nights or children’s downtime.

Outside, the villa opens onto lush tropical gardens, with an infinity-edge pool that seems to merge with the horizon. Stepped lawns sweep down towards the sea, framed by swaying palms and tropical flowers. Guests can practise yoga in the dedicated pavilion, enjoy guided meditation or toast the sunset in the elevated cocktail pavilion, perched for uninterrupted views of the fiery sky. The beach below, soft golden sand and turquoise surf, is just steps away via a private path, perfect for morning walks or swims during calm season.

Pointe Sud is fully serviced by a warm and attentive team, including a chef, villa manager, housekeepers and gardener, who provide discreet, thoughtful hospitality with a personal touch. Meals are tailored to your tastes, with the freshest local ingredients - expect everything from vibrant Sri Lankan curries to international favourites, all enjoyed al fresco or in the formal dining space.

Whether you’re travelling with family or friends, looking for a celebration space or a peaceful hideaway, Pointe Sud offers a cinematic setting and a home-like atmosphere, where luxury is defined by stillness, beauty and soul-stirring views.
