The Sa House Living
The Sa House is a labour of love and an astonishing testament to Sri Lankan craftsmanship. The villa stands on the remains of an over 80-year-old home which the owners transformed into the holiday retreat of their dreams. While the villa feels fresh and modern, it also plays homage to its roots; most notably in the living room which still maintains one of the original rock-and-clay walls as a focal point. The Sa House is a very special place where modern design, rich heritage, and wild natural beauty all come together to create a symphony.
Living Room
The living room is a beautiful fusion of old and new, with elegant modern furniture framed by an impressive wall salvaged from the original structure. The room features a plush white sofa and matching ottoman, with two plantation chairs offering even more seats. Thanks to pivot doors, you can open up the space to enjoy a fluid connection to the garden or close them to relax in air-conditioned comfort. The room also features a 150-inch projector screen that’ll take your movie nights to the next level.
Dining Room
The dining room is another elegant space framed by full wall windows looking out to the garden. A round timber dining table surrounded by six cane back chairs sits at the centre of the room, inviting guests to gather for relaxed meals. Glass doors separate the dining area from the kitchen tucked to the back of the room, allowing guests to dine in private while the staff prepares the next course in the kitchen.
Garden & Pool
The villa’s surroundings are absolutely magical, with dreamy palm trees arching over picturesque paddy fields. In fact, the estate once housed a cinnamon plantation and is now home to a thriving orchard where you can spot jackfruit, mangoes, coconuts, and other tropical fruit hanging off the branches. A 17-metre-long pool dazzles at the centre of the garden, inviting guests in for a refreshing dip amid all that gorgeous greenery. The pool also features a shallow section that’s ideal for children. Double sun beds framing the pool invite guests to perfect that golden holiday tan.
