WELCOME TO PARADISE.
A magnificent, private retreat on the edge of the most unspoilt tropical beaches on the South Coast of Sri Lanka.
Set on a former coconut and cashew nut plantation and hidden from view, The Teak House is the perfectly romantic, tropical escape from everyday realities. Lulled by the sound of the Indian Ocean below and the proliferation of wildlife all around, you will soon relax into a truly restorative tropical topor. If you are seeking complete privacy or even solitude within moments of unspoilt Indian Ocean beaches, The Teak House offers luxury and privacy in equal measure.
The Teak House
From its elevated position overlooking Seenimodera beach, the villa’s vast bedrooms and open plan living benefit from the constant breezes coming from the Indian Ocean below. Hidden from view, the villa, constructed entirely of teak - one of Sri Lanka’s sustainable hardwoods - is relaxed and incredibly comfortable. Lying in one of the six foot, four poster beds, wreathed in fine white mosquito nets, you can see and hear the constant rhythm of the Indian Ocean only 30 feet below.
Planted with an exotic collection of wonderful tropical flora, The Teak House garden has become a haven for a stunning collection of tropical birds. Woodpecker, peacocks, birds of paradise, kingfisher and the busy ‘chit chat’ birds luxuriate in its lush profusion. Sea eagles hover above and, as dusk falls and a dark tropical night descends, fireflies light up the sky.
Fully Staffed, Private Villa
With fresh tropical fruit and a wide variety of seafood straight from the Indian Ocean, food is a delight at The Teak House, comprising a wide range of cuisine. Panfried fillets of freshly caught seer fish or marlin with capers or chicken and banana flower salad are just two of the house dishes that will tantalise your palate. A sample menu is available on request.
Our house curries are renowned - you can choose from a myriad of ingredients. Prawns from the Indian Ocean and the lagoon, banana flower, gourds, breadfruit are just for starters. Be adventurous, go to the market and see what is on offer, grown within a short distance of Tangalle or up in the cooler climes of the hill country.
Whether breakfast, lunch or dinner, our staff will delight in preparing the most delicious repasts for you. If you would like to eat out a range of options are available.
