Claughton really is that exclusive villa you always promised yourself. Built by renowned Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa the property is bright, modern and minimalist with a blend of the contemporary. There are terrazzo floors and views down to the ocean from your bedroom windows. There are nearly five acres of landscaped gardens which lead down to a swimming pool. The property is built on an incline, steep in places, and has graceful lawns sweeping down to the swimming pool and beyond to two sandy, crescent sea bays. The house comes with staff including a housekeeper and cook.  |

There are three simply furnished but extremely comfortable bedrooms (1 double and 2 twins) with ceiling fans, coir matting and view of the gardens and ocean. Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and a private courtyard with outdoor shower. There is lots to do in the area such as a visit to Hummanya blowhole (most active in June during the monsoon), or take a picnic boat trip, go deep-sea fishing, snorkelling, best between November and March, or scuba diving can be arranged via a nearby hotel. Further a field the local town of Dikwella or (2hours drive) spend the day at one of the safari parks - the Uda Welawe and Yala National Parks. A lovely, very civilised place to stay. | Prices | From £300.00 per day full board. |
