"'This beautiful colonial villa, with stunning views, sits on a knoll surrounded by rambling gardens and lead down to a heavenly pool and beach that’s even better. The rooms go for the white and minimal look but it works well and there are big baths in each room.'"

Claughton House is a three-bedroom villa, located on the southern tip of Sri Lanka between the southern fishing town of Matara and Tangalle. It is approximately five hours drive from Colombo.
Introduction
Designed by Sri Lanka's most famous architect, the late Geoffrey Bawa, this private house, set in five acres of landscaped coconut plantation, occupies a spectacular position overlooking a bay. With just three spacious rooms, it is ideal for those seeking seclusion and relaxation on the unspoilt south coast.

Accommodation
There is one master double room and two twins. All three rooms have private bathrooms, two of which have open-air showers. Only the master bedroom has a/c.
Facilities
There is an open plan spilt-level lounge and dining area designed to catch the cool sea breeze. Other than the dining-service offered here, you can also take a pleasant walk through the grounds of the property to Nugaya, an affiliated restaurant offering a range of Sri Lankan dishes, international cuisine and barbeques. Both the house and the restaurant are blessed with acres of space and in between the two there is a gate giving private access to a neat little stretch of beach that curves around towards Nilwella Bay. An attractive freshwater swimming pool is cleverly built into the rocks above the beach.
Excursions
Boat can be organised for exploring the local bays with fishing and scuba diving available on request. Claughton House serves as an excellent base for exploring the surrounding seas, inland, wild life, as well as the southern cultural heritage. The surrounding bays & beaches in Weligama, Mirissa, and Tangalle offer a perfect environment for swimming and snorkelling along the coral reefs. For the more adventurous, a jeep safari to the Yala wildlife park with 400 sq. miles of jungle with herds of elephants, sloth bear, deer, wild boar, monkeys, crocodiles, and a variety of bird species, is an interesting day's excursion.
