The Last House

Tangalle, Sri Lanka
Luxury hotel banner
The Last House, situated in the serene deep south near Tangalle, is an exquisite boutique hotel nestled on a stunning stretch of land between a tranquil lagoon and the turquoise sea.

This architectural gem, designed by Sri Lanka’s renowned Geoffrey Bawa, is so named because it was his final creation, combining his signature style of modernism with the island’s rich cultural heritage. Shaped like a horseshoe, the villa features living rooms, kitchen, and courtyard bedrooms surrounding a beautifully designed swimming pool on three sides, creating a perfect balance between social spaces and private retreats.

The design allows for versatile living, with verandas, dining areas, and sitting rooms that can host gatherings yet maintain a sense of intimacy. The villa is set within lush gardens at the back, with a sprawling lawn leading directly to the fabulous beach, which offers safe swimming for much of the year. The Last House can be booked per room or in its entirety, accommodating up to 14 guests for an exclusive, tranquil experience. This peaceful haven is a true testament to Bawa’s architectural genius, offering both luxury and privacy in one of Sri Lanka’s most picturesque locations.

What our travellers say

We went to Sri Lanka as a three-generation family of three. The superb trip was organised by Samanthie and the team and it's difficult to see how it could have been bettered.

Red Dot organised the most wonderful 3-week holiday for us. Samanthie built a trip around the amazing sights we had requested visiting, together with her own suggestions and a wide mix of hotels, which gave us the flavours of both traditional Sri Lanka and the sleek, stylish contemporary version of the country. Our Driver made the whole experience incredibly special for us.

I can’t thank Cherylle and the Red Dot team enough for their meticulous planning of our family holiday to India travelling through Rajasthan over Christmas. As a family of all adults, every suggestion from daily activities to hotel choices was simply perfect. We travelled through Delhi, Ranthambore (an unforgettable tiger safari!), Jaipur and Agra and I truly feel we experienced the very best of each destination while moving at a relaxed, well thought out pace

My partner arranged a holiday trip at fairly short notice to Sri Lanka with Red Dot on a recommendation, Samanthie was so patient & helpful with her suggested itinerary which we followed with some minor amendments. On arrival at Colombo we met Manjula our chauffeur/guide who was absolutely brilliant!

Dulmini and the Red Dot Team arranged a fantastic trip for us around Assam and North East India. Faultless service. I cannot recommend them more highly.

We looked up, and communicated with umpteen tour operators. Though Red Dot seemed to have offices in Sri Lanka and the UK, they seemed to have the best reviews. We were fortunate enough to correspond with Cherylle, who not only assured us of the safety of our friend, but created a personalised, and flexible, itinerary which we could not have done ourselves.

A 14-day tour with Red Dot Tours was the perfect antidote to the bleak UK winter. After a glowing recommendation from a friend, we contacted Red Dot Tours and were not disappointed. Our consultant, Lahiru, curated a seamless itinerary. Throughout the planning phase, Lahiru was incredibly responsive; the final itinerary—delivered via a user-friendly 'Guest Portal'—was impressively detailed, covering every hotel stay and excursion.
