Exploring
One of Halala Kanda’s unique features is the easy accessibility it offers to quintessentially Sri Lankan experiences on the Southern coast of the island.
Sri Lanka’s very best Southern beaches are close by; the pristine sands of Mirissa are about a ten minute drive, or just down the road is Weligama beach.
Stunning Galle Fort is approximately thirty minutes away. Or take a day trip to Bentota which is only an hour away on the expressway.
For simpler excursions, simply setting foot from the residence along the surrounding rice paddy and jungle pathways, allows a glimpse into the lives of our always welcoming neighbours and their amazing families, as well as the fascinating nearby local Buddhist temple.

“By far the most stylish, luxurious and enjoyable villa we have experienced in Sri Lanka. 5+ stars.”
