Introducing Kumbura, Galle, Sri Lanka A Brand New Holiday Property From Eden Villas

Eden Villas, the leading luxury holiday villa expert in Sri Lanka, has added Kumbura, a brand new holiday property in Habaraduwa, near Galle, southern Sri Lanka. The new property comes at the perfect time as Sri Lanka is once again a fantastic winter sun destination for UK travellers, following the latest travel updates.  

Kumbura means “rice fields” in Sinhala, and this gorgeous villa enjoys elevated views over an extensive one, located 5km inland within lush greenery, not far from the lovely beaches of the south coast and a turtle hatchery. 

The villa was once the grand house of the village, and has been lovingly restored with Sri Lankan heritage and design influences at the forefront. Kumbura sleeps eight in total, in four bedrooms - two doubles, one twin and a double garden suite set slightly apart with its own veranda. The breezy, calm living areas are spread across indoor and outdoor spaces, making the most of Kumbura’s verdant paddy field setting.

Outdoors, an infinity swimming pool seems to merge with the rice fields beyond, and is large enough for length swimming and diving games. The property is secluded, built on a headland surrounded by the paddy fields and tea plantations. The location offers a quiet oasis not overlooked by anyone - although the grounds may be graced by peacocks, monkeys and native birds once in a while! Families are well catered to, with connecting rooms for those with younger children, and the separate garden suite ideal for grandparents wanting their own space. Babysitting is available on request.

The housekeeper will make delicious breakfasts and simple, elegant local dishes for guests to give a true taste of Sri Lanka, included in the nightly rates. For a more extensive menu, a private chef can be arranged by Eden Villas, together with a wide range of activities both within the villa, such as cooking lessons, massage, yoga, and cricket games; and further afield too. Kumbura is a short distance from Galle, a UNESCO world heritage city, as well as Koggala Lake, and the incredible local beaches, surfing spots and excellent local restaurants dotted around the south coast.   

Eden Villas (www.edenvillas.com) offer nightly rates at Kumbura from £270. Minimum stay 2-7 nights depending on dates. Sleeps up to eight adults.
