AN ENCHANTING PLANTATION SANCTUARY WHERE SERENITY MEETS LUXURY FOR UP TO 14 GUESTS
A TRANQUIL EXPERIENCE AWAITS
Nestled on a lush plantation hillside, Halala Kanda—or Firefly Hill—whispers stories of a magical past. Built in 1912 as a romantic gesture by the son of a wealthy Sri Lankan, it lay hidden for decades, overtaken by jungle, until rediscovered in 2010. What followed was a meticulous and soulful restoration, breathing new life into a forgotten jewel.
HALALA KANDA IS A PRIVATE PARADISE
Surrounded by stunning countryside. Just ten minutes from Weligama’s pristine beaches and close to the timeless streets of Galle Fort, it’s a place where architecture, history, and nature come together in seamless harmony.
TWO ACRES OF LUSH GARDENS
With tamarind, cashew, coconut, and cinnamon trees—surround the villa. Birds sing through the canopy while spice vines curl along trellises and the scent of jasmine hangs in the air. The estate’s lovingly restored gardens are a source of joy at every turn.
AT THE HEART OF IT ALL
Are five elegant suites and a fabulous 23-meter pool—a place to float beneath the palms or simply watch the light fade across the jungle. This is a retreat designed for contentment, where time slows and every detail tells a story.
