Croquet, a favourite British pastime from the 1850s, can be played on our exquisitely groomed lawn. Recognized as a game of skill requiring strategy like “chess on grass,” this outdoor game can be enjoyed in the Sri Lankan sunshine. Similarly, you can opt to enjoy a game of boules, or lawn bowling, if that is preferred. Reminiscent of an English summertime frolic, we can arrange for Pimms on ice to make your garden game time just that more enjoyable. And, if you fancy, a picnic to follow? All you have to do is ask.

Sitting quietly in the corner of one of our comfortable sitting areas, our beautiful mahogany piano waits to be played by our guests. Brush up those musical skills on our baby grand and let the tinkle of its notes drift over the country air. It will not only soothe your soul but the ones of others around you. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said that “Music is the universal language of mankind.” And so it is at our elegant country home. Guests bond over familiar tunes and new rhythms as music becomes a shared interest; a point of warm conversation over nightcaps in the lounge.

Our infinity pool, sunken into a white-stone terrace, overlooks a panoramic vista of breathtaking mountains and valleys in the distance. Its turquoise waters glistening iridescently in the Hanthana sunshine will beckon you to swim. Or perhaps you can just laze by the pool on our comfy deckchairs in the shade of an umbrella and stare into the dreamy distance of the faraway hills.
