A UNIQUE BOUTIQUE BEACH HOTEL
One of the last properties designed by renowned Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa, the aptly named Last House blurs the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces. With an immaculate beach just a few steps from your room, a pool set in tropical gardens as well as some of the best of Sri Lanka’s southern sightseeing, wildlife and cultural highlights on your doorstep, The Last House should be among the first hotels you consider for your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Sri Lanka.
With its sublimely relaxed atmosphere and beachfront setting, The Last House is ideal for those seeking luxury in a private location on the southern coast of Sri Lanka. Fresh white walls contrast with the colourful furnishings, whilst the windows overlook beautiful lagoon or sea views. The villa is comprised of four en-suite bedrooms, including one two-bedroom suite, but it can also be booked exclusively as a villa sleeping up to 12 guests.
Tasty Asian fusion and classic Sri Lankan dishes are served in the open-air dining room, whilst the central courtyard frames a lovely emerald pool. Just outside your room lies one of Sri Lanka’s most unspoilt beaches, Mawella, and a little further afield a plethora of wildlife and cultural attractions. Excursions to Galle’s mighty coral and rock fort, whale watching and safaris within the celebrated Yala National Park await.
