Redcliffs, Weligama
Location
facebook twitter
Redcliffs is a magnificent four-bedroom villa with great history and a prime cliff-top spot location above Weligama Bay. Surrounded by acres of lush tropical gardens, the villa is situated towards the western end of Weligama Bay with the beaches of Mirissa five minutes further along the A2 to Matara. This is an ideal base from which to explore the glorious southern beaches, wildlife sanctuaries, and the cultural heritage of the deep south. The historic city of Galle is about 45 minutes away. The journey from Colombo’s international airport will take about four-and-threequarter hours or consider taking the Air Taxi and flying into Koggala lake by sea plane to leave you wih a journey of around half-an-hour.
Introduction
Redcliffs was once the country home of a former president of Sri Lanka, the late J.R. Jayawardene. This iconic villa was designed by Sri Lanka’s architecture guru, the late Geoffrey Bawa who has ensured that breathtaking views of Weligama Bay are visible from every corner. It will open again after a complete refurbishment in late 2010 to welcome those who wish to spend a peaceful and relaxing holiday in the deep south.

Accommodation
The villa consist of four double bedrooms of which two are located on the ground floor opening out to beautiful sea views; and two more rooms are located at a level below opening out to the gardens. Overhead fans and the ocean breeze help to cool the rooms. Ensuite bathrooms have h/w showers.
Facilities
In keeping with Bawa’s architectural style of erasing boundaries between the inside and out, the living and dining areas open out to the sprawling gardens, the surrounding red cliffs, and the Indian Ocean waters below. Sri Lankan and western cuisine is served here prepared to your liking. Redcliffs has a team of staff that will ensure you have a relaxing holiday. There is no swimming pool here, but just below the cliffs are two utterly secluded beaches that are safe for swimming during the season from December to April.
Excursions
The south of Sri Lanka beyond Dondra is considered one of the best locations in the world for spotting Blue Whales, Sperm Whales and Spinner Dolphins. During the season from December to April, whale and dolphin watching excursions are organised by Mirissa Water Sports and Ceylon Fisheries Corporation based at the Mirissa harbour. Mirissa Water Sports also offers a range of activities including coastal cruises, sea kayaking, snorkelling and boating. Scuba diving is possible in Dickwella and surfing is ideal in Unawatuna and Mirissa. The historic town of Galle, with its 17C Dutch Fort, is just 45 minutes away. With its well-preserved ramparts overlooking the cricket stadium, narrow streets lined with Dutch and British colonial era buildings still in use, growing collection of art galleries, shops, restaurants and boutique hotels, Galle Fort deserves hours of exploration.
