Samadara Estate

Set within an 8 acre private cinnamon plantation and designed by one of Sri Lanka's leading architects Samadara is a true gem. The fully staffed estate is ideally placed for some of the best beaches in Sri Lanka with many exciting restaurants and bars on your doorstep. Galle is easily accessible by road or a delightful local train ride. Despite its convenient location the villa is extremely secluded with uninterrupted views over paddy fields and coconut groves making it the ideal exotic retreat.

The stylish villa offers 3 double bedrooms and 1 bedroom with two single beds all with their own private terraces, private outdoor bathrooms, wifi and air-conditioning. Larger groups can make use of the fifth twin bedroom, which is above the yoga studio (which is non en-suite and non air-conditioned although it has a fan) or for additional spillover there is a sixth twin bedroom which is located in our cinnamon cottage (non-air conditioned although it has a fan). The villa boasts incredible interiors including local art and antiques throughout the property.

The villa has generous relaxation space (both indoors and outdoors): an air-conditioned library and TV room, a yoga room, a well equipped modern kitchen, a dining room, a sitting room, a BBQ area, a large veranda made for sundowners and of course the huge swimming pool and surrounding sunning area.

The house is run by our very friendly English-speaking house manager, Madura. He will be your main point of contact whilst staying at the Estate.

Our skilled chef will prepare you delicious breakfasts of fresh fruit from the garden and local curd followed by his now infamous egg hoppers. The chef can cook all meals upon request depending on your movements. His BBQ's with fresh fish from the mornings catch are particular good! Guests ONLY pay for the ingredients which the chef will source from his expertise at the local markets: this way we can offer an extremely cost effective way for dining in for our guests! Although there is of course an abundance of good local restaurants.

A driver can be arranged and the Estate has the benefit of its own tuk-tuk.

There is free WiFi with high speed internet access throughout the villa and garden.

The Estate has it's own organic vegetable garden and copious coconut trees, the produce of which you will undoubtedly enjoy during your stay.

There is security staff provided with a manned security post at the gated entrance.

We also cater for children (highchair, kids cutlery, pool toys, cots etc) and we can arrange a very good English speaking babysitter for circa 50 USD / day.

Samadara is one of those truly special places that will live long in the memory. Fast becoming the most talked about private stay in Sri Lanka.
