Kumara Living

Life at Kumara is divided into spacious open-plan pavilions set amidst a lush tropical garden. The buildings boast a luxurious design which perfectly complements the vibrant greenery – think high-vaulted ceilings and rich earth tones, and with a serene statue of the Buddha providing an added dose of tranquillity. The villa is built in perfect harmony with the surrounding rainforest, which in turn shrouds the property in blissful privacy.

Living Room

The living room is housed beneath a sky-high ceiling finished with a traditional vaulted design. The room is flooded with light and offers stunning vistas of the surrounding tropics thanks to fluid open-plan architecture. The room features rustic wooden furniture and ample seating, allowing the whole party to gather together after a day out in the sun.

Dining Room

The spacious property offers plenty of room for entertaining in style. The main living pavilion houses a massive dining table beautifully crafted from natural wood, and the fluid design of the space provides diners with lush green vistas that become the epic backdrop of every meal. Furthermore, the villa’s kitchen is housed in a separate pavilion and offers an additional dining table.

Garden & Pool

Kumara’s beautiful turquoise pool is flanked by a lavish gazebo, leaving guests with a tough choice: do you prefer to take in the jaw-dropping jungle views from the comfort of the poolside pergola, or admire the vistas while floating in the clear waters of the pool? The meticulously landscaped gardens include soothing water features and statues of the Buddha, adding a pinch of Zen throughout this hidden oasis.

    Most Magical Stay!

    We spent 8 nights at the villa celebrating Christmas and was blown away by how beautiful and thought through every piece of this place is.

    The staff has spoiled us in every possible way, food is amazing, garden beautiful and we have had every help you can possibly imagine to tailor activities fit for us and according to our wishes. (Bike tour, private whale watching, spice gardens, surfing, yoga & massage)

    An extra thank you for helping make Christmas special for our kids by putting in a Christmas tree, arranging a marvelous dinner with the biggest fresh fish and crab we ever had, cutting a Christmas tree in the lawn(!) and staff wearing Christmas sweaters.

    We have never been so spoiled and came home feeling fulfilled and rested.

    Sri Lanka is a magical place but this Villa is something special. THANK YOU!

    Maximum Relaxation in The Jungle

    Our first time saying in a villa that wasn’t ‘beach side’ and it was utterly wonderful.
    The house is set amongst beautiful gardens, in the jungle. So it feels very seculed; a perfect little spot of calmness surrounded by palm trees, the noise of birds and monkeys.

    The house is thoughtfully laid out with three huge separate suites (almost like mini villas themselves). We stayed in one with our 2yo baby and it was great- loads of space and we could tuck her cot round the corner in the dressing area so it almost felt like a separate room. And our baby monitor managed to bridge the distance from room to house, so we could put baby to bed in the bedroom and have dinner and evenings in the main house.

    The villa is perfectly laid out, with a great pool for swimming and a very smart idea: a separate sunken kitchen in the main living area so you can help yourself to things from the fridge/make tea etc whenever you want. Perfect for easy access to cold beers/baby food whatever your needs. Although we were there with a baby it would definitely make for an excellent place to go with mates.

    The food cooked by Kelum and “the ladies” was excellent- delicious home cooked Sri Lankan curries, and we had a lot of afternoon rotis. It’s an enjoyable 10 min journey by tuk-tuk to Weligama and Mirissa Beach. We had a fantastic time here. Despite being in the jungle, and mornings spent watching a monkey family travel through the trees with their new babies, we felt utterly at home almost instantly.

    Thank you for having us.

    The Perfect Escape!

    Kumara is magical: it is tranquil and luxurious, and yet very close tot the beach and Weligama town. Kelum and the team looked after us so well, from everything to the amazing Sri Lankan meals to helping us with a fireworks display for New Year’s Eve, We would go back in a second!

    Fantastic Luxury Villa

    The Villa was excellent and better in person that in the pictures. The landscaping and design feels like your own mini resort. The staff along with Kulum were very helpful. Will definitely be back to Kumara.

    “Perfection”

    7 of us visited Kumara for a week in Feb 2017.
    It was simply perfect. The place is stunning. The individual guest houses are beautiful and the communal area and pool are paradise on earth.
    Kelum the manager is one of the nicest, friendliest, most helpful people I’ve ever met.

    All the staff are great and go above and beyond. From arranging tuk tuks, to sorting out trips to national parks, to beer runs! Everything was catered for. Kumara is only a short drive to Mirissa beach (beautiful, with lots of restaurants, bars – strongly recommend Zephyr.) and from Welligama (not quite as nice, but good for surfing.)

    I can’t recommend the place highly enough. the photos on their website don’t do it justice (which is saying something.)

    Just stop googling, stop thinking about and book Kumara!!

    “Outstanding villa”

    We have just returned from Kumara Villa. There were 7 of us all adults. It was the nearest thing to paradise I have experienced.

    The villa is staffed by a wonderful group of people who couldn’t do enough for us. The place is immaculate and there is nothing we could fault.

    If it wasn’t so far away I would be back tomorrow!

    “Brilliant stay. Comfortable, relaxing and regenerating!!”

    Amazing stay at Kamara. Excellently maintained and catered by the staff. The property is huge with tropical beauty all around giving you a feeling of true serenity.

    The villas are far enough away from the tourist area to have peace and privacy, but close enough to the action to have a vibrant evening on great beaches within 10 minutes.
