Whether you are traveling with family, friends, or as a couple, a private villa allows you to enjoy the destination in a more personal and relaxed way.
Villa Vista is one of Sri Lanka’s most celebrated architectural residences, designed by internationally renowned Japanese architect Shigeru Ban. Located above Weligama Bay near Mirissa, the villa occupies an exceptional elevated position overlooking the southern coastline.
The design reflects Shigeru Ban’s distinctive architectural philosophy, creating a seamless connection between the residence and its natural surroundings. Expansive floor-to-ceiling openings welcome natural light and ocean breezes into the interiors while framing uninterrupted views of the coastline.
At the heart of the villa is a stunning infinity pool overlooking the bay, complemented by landscaped gardens, elegant living spaces, and beautifully appointed en-suite bedrooms. The architecture celebrates openness, simplicity, and harmony, creating a residence that feels contemporary while remaining deeply connected to its tropical setting.
With four bedrooms accommodating up to nine guests, Villa Vista is ideal for families, groups of friends, and travelers seeking a private architectural retreat. Every element has been thoughtfully designed, from the spacious communal areas to the personalized hospitality, creating a stay that feels both effortless and refined.
Redcliffs, originally known as the Jayawardena House, is a remarkable private villa designed by Geoffrey Bawa, Sri Lanka’s legendary architect and one of Asia’s most influential figures in tropical modernism. Perched above Mirissa’s dramatic red cliffs, the villa combines architectural heritage with one of the most striking oceanfront settings on the southern coast.
Bawa’s signature approach is evident throughout the residence, with open living spaces, natural materials, and carefully framed views that allow the surrounding landscape to become an integral part of the experience. The design celebrates simplicity while maintaining a strong connection with the Indian Ocean and tropical environment.
Guests can enjoy the infinity pool overlooking the coastline, access to a secluded beach, and beautifully designed interiors that create an atmosphere of understated luxury. The villa’s elevated position also provides spectacular sunset views, with the surrounding cliffs transforming into rich shades of red as the day comes to an end.
With three bedrooms accommodating up to seven guests, Redcliffs is perfectly suited for families, couples traveling together, and small groups seeking a private oceanfront escape. Combining architectural significance with exceptional surroundings, it offers one of the most distinctive villa experiences in Mirissa.
The best time to experience Mirissa is from November to April, when Sri Lanka’s southern coast enjoys dry weather, calmer seas, and ideal conditions for beach experiences, whale watching, and exploring the region.
During these months, guests can make the most of their villa experience with outdoor dining, poolside relaxation, and private coastal excursions. The quieter months outside the peak season can also be an excellent choice for travelers seeking a more peaceful and secluded escape.
