I really love this place, and the staff is wonderful, so why shouldn't I go back there?

It was Geoffrey Bawa's design as a private house in the 80's and has been renovated and extended by Shante Fernando ( the Paradise Road entrepreneur) in 2007:

Now I enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and the kindness of the staff.

So we went to the Villa again last december:

Suite 3: ( first floor, garden view and tsunami-proof)

Notice how they hang paintings outside on the wall of the balcony, bringing inside outside.
These are real original works! (we can't do that in european climate)

Wow beautiful.

Hmm. "Tsunami-proof"? How did they do that?
