Last House is an exquisite boutique hotel situated in the deep south near Tangalle. The area offers some of the best unspoilt beaches in the island. Tangalle can be accessed via the southern coast or travelling south from the hill country. Alternatively, jump aboard an Air Taxi service which flies to Dickwella, about 15 mins from the villa.
Introduction
The Last House, so-called because it was Geoffrey Bawa’s architectural swansong, is positioned on an idyllic strip of land with a lagoon on one side and the turquoise seas on the other. The beach is fabulously long and offers safe swimming for much of the year. As one would expect from Sri Lanka’s most respected architect, a man that mixed Sri Lanka’s rich cultural past with a clean modernity, the villa is also very special. Essentially, the layout is shaped like a horse-shoe, with kitchen, living rooms and courtyard bedrooms surrounding the idyllic swimming pool on three sides. The advantage of this design is that while the various verandahs, dining and sitting rooms are well-suited to social occasions, the property also offers much privacy. At the back of the main building there is a lovingly-tended garden with an expansive stretch of lawn leading down to the beach. The Last House can be booked per room or in its entirety and can accommodate up to 14 guests. This is an ideal setting even for a wedding or a family gathering.

Accommodation
There are six bedrooms that can be booked individually or in combination as suites. The rooms are named after Geoffrey Bawa’s favourite trees and are comfortably furnished with king-size beds or twin beds.

Cinnamon Hill Suite: This suite combines three bedrooms - one large double bedroom with a spacious ensuite bathroom; a twin bedroom and an adjoining smaller single room which is ideal for a child. These two bedrooms share a bathroom. The Cinnamon Hill Suite is situated on the upper floor with a balcony overlooking the pool and the sea beyond.

Moonamal: Located on the ground floor, this suite opens out to the gardens and the sea beyond and consists of a spacious bedroom with a private garden and ensuite bathroom with outdoor shower area.

Atteriya: Situated on the ground floor next to Moonamal, this bedroom also has sea views and a private garden.

Na: Also situated on the ground floor with sea and garden views.
Facilities
The living and dining areas overlook the 10-metre swimming pool. Interiors are tastefully designed with a mix of antiques and contemporary furniture, local art and artifacts. The many courtyards, verandahs and balconies offer much privacy and many secluded spaces for guests to relax in. Local rice and curries and western dishes are served according to guest’s wishes – in the gardens, the main dining room or in your own private courtyard or balcony. There is a full complement of staff, including an excellent chef. Rooms at the Last House can be booked on a FB or HB basis. For those booking the entire villa, meals are provided at cost price with an additional service charge. Guests are welcome to bring their own alcoholic beverages. Free wifi is available in the common areas.
Excursions
Visit Rakuwa, a small fishing village near Tangalle where a fascinating Marine Turtle Conservation project is helping to save this endangered species. Tangalle and the surrounding areas are renowned for its superb unspoiled and undeveloped beaches. Other attractions nearby, include Yala National Park, one of the largest national parks in the island where elephant and leopard can be seen, a short 90-minute drive away. Based at Mirissa Harbour, Mirissa Water Sports offers several activities including whale watching, snorkeling, sailing, river trips, and sea kayaking. Mirissa Water Sports is a charitable organization helping to generate employment for the youth from the tsunami affected coastal areas. We also recommend a visit to the historic city of Galle and its 17th century Dutch Fort – a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Much of the old Fort, a small walled city with about 300 homes and an old-world feel, still remain with its well preserved bastions, public buildings, churches, lighthouse and a maze of narrow streets.
