Discover the enchanting allure of The River House, an exquisite boutique villa in Sri Lanka featuring five bedrooms, gracefully perched on a hillock that gently slopes down to the serene Madhu Ganga river. Spanning across seven acres of lush tropical gardens, just a short distance from the west coast, this haven is a harmonious blend of style and tranquility. The main house graces a grassy hillside, offering captivating views as the broad Madhu Ganga flows peacefully below. Few holiday destinations in Sri Lanka can match the escapist charm and true magnificence of this idyllic retreat.
Crafted by the renowned Sri Lankan lifestyle designer Nayantha Fonseka, the villa draws inspiration from traditional South Asian designs, showcasing imaginative use of endemic Sri Lankan woods like kitul and jak fruit. The main house boasts four beautiful suites, while the fifth is nestled downhill by the riverside.
