Location
Kadju House is a new 'tropical modern' beach house situated just outside the south coast village of Tangalle, overlooking the magnificent crescent shaped Seenimodara Bay. The journey from Colombo takes about five hours along the southern coast past the historic city of Galle. Tangalle can also be accessed from the highlands and is nearby the southern wildlife sanctuaries and ancient temples.
Introduction
'Kadju' is well named. It translates as `cashews’ and they surround this wonderful beach house which lies on an extensive cashew, fruit and vegetable plantation. Designed by a young architect, Pradeep Kodikara, this two-storey beach house is situated on a hillock overlooking the shimmering seas below. Kadju has a contemporary feel with open-plan living spaces that let in the tropical sunshine, cooling ocean breeze, and spectacular views of Seenimodara Bay. Uncut granite floors, cement, glass and steel elements are blended with vibrant colours, mood lighting and timber furniture, giving Kadju House a characterful ambience. The secluded and private beach below is on a cove and is ideal for body-boarding and swimming in calm conditions all year round.

Facilities
The living and dining areas are situated on the ground floor overlooking the infinity pool and sweeping views of the Indian Ocean beyond. A 36ft long infinity pool is filled with unchlorinated fresh water and has terrace and cement bar. Meal times at Kadju House are flexible and is served at the dining table indoors, in the garden under the shade of a cashew tree, by the pool side or on the beach under the stars. Sri Lankan and European cuisine is served here prepared with fresh fruit and vegetables from their own gardens and other groceries purchased from the local market. Fresh sea food including lobster, crab, and prawns are purchased directly each day from the fishing boats as they come in from the sea. The Spa Pavillion with its Cinnamon-infused walls, provide a range of Ayurvedic relaxing treatments supervised by an experienced Ayurvedic physician. For those interested in total mind and body relaxation, private yoga lessons are organized with prior notice. Kadju House and its gardens are ideal for reading and there is a small living room library. Each of the bedrooms also has a copy of the Cinnamon Peeler written by the famous Sri Lankan author, Michael Ondaatje.
Excursions
Seenimodara Bay, with its sugar-soft sand, is ideal for long walks. The cove offers opportunities for boating, fishing and snorkelling. Visit the ancient Mulgirigala Rock Temple perched on an enormous boulder more than 200m high. According to ancient inscriptions carved on the rock, Mulgirigala dates back almost 2,000 years when it was a site of a Buddhist monastery. Nature lovers will enjoy the monkeys and numerous birds that can be seen from Kadju’s pool terrace including parrots, peacocks, fishing eagles, kingfishers, woodpeckers and humming birds. Sri Lanka’s famous wildlife parks are also situated nearby including Yala, Bundala and Kalamatiya bird sanctuary with its semi-saline lagoons and mangrove swamps that attract flocks of flamingoes. Visit Rekuwa, a small fishing village near Tangalle, where a fascinating Marine Turtle Conservation project is helping to save the endangered Marine Turtles that come to nest on the beach. 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.
