Villa Location
Located on the outskirts of Fort Galle and hidden within its own tree-lined enclave, Lassana Kanda boasts access to both a UNESCO World Heritage Site as well as a pristine coastline that stretches the length of southern Sri Lanka. Swathes of rice paddies and generous palm tree plantations surround the property, affording an air of truly tropical living – guests struggle to believe that there is a world beyond the grounds yet, just a few minutes down the road, one can enjoy the hustle and bustle of genteel Fort Galle with its weaving streets and fort-like structures. Time your trip right and enjoy an international test match at the famed cricket ground, or delve into history and wonder the mesmerising streets.
A short drive to the east is the expansive beach front with stretch-after-stretch of golden-tinged sands. Choose Unawatuna for shoreline dining with its abundant fresh seafood; or Weligama for barrelling beach-break waves; then venture to Mirissa and hop on board a chartered yacht for the grounding experience that is watching gigantic blue whales appear from the deep-blue depths of the Indian Ocean before plunging back down.
And at just two-hours from the airport, the villa is an ideal location for a Sri Lankan stop-off.

Villa Layout
From a grand mansion on an emerald-green hillside, landscaped gardens flow down to a sparkling infinity pool surrounded by sleepy sun loungers and joyous thatched gazebos. Welcome to the idyll that is Lassana Kanda.
Chic white furnishings extend through an open-plan design, offset by the verdant surrounds that are visible through bi-fold doors, while traditional wooden furniture and intricate antiquities create an air of elegance in this sophisticated space. Dining is available both inside and out; either choose a long, ornate wooden table, which is ideal for banqueting, or take to al fresco eating and sit around the circular table on the terrace - an idyllic spot for summertime feasts. Then work off excess energy with time in the gym, perhaps topping it off with a light massage in the private wellness room.
Accommodating up to sixteen guests across seven bedrooms, choose a double or twin, with a larger suite available for family groups. The master suite includes a decadent four-poster bed, exclusive balcony space and an indulgent ensuite – crystal white surfaces and shimmering wood finishes preserve the sense of opulence. Three guest rooms include canopied double-beds and two rooms have twin beds, still with their four-poster embellishment. The family suite includes a four-poster double bed plus two twins, so any group with children is perfectly looked after. Each room has an ensuite – each beautifully designed and generously appointed - so guests can all enjoy their solitude.
