Property information

Lose Yourself In Simple Pleasures At Handun Villas Along the sun kissed southern coastline of Sri Lanka lies the perfectly preserved 120 year old Dutch manor known as Handun Villas. It is surrounded by a lush green coconut estate and en-chanting garden where giant squirrels, monkeys and peacocks come to play. The soothing lull of the ocean mingles with birdsong and the rhythm of coastal village life to create a symphony that is unique to the villa. Handun Villas is found in Talalla Bay which is two and a half hours drive from Colombo and eleven kilometers away from Matara. With beautiful aquamarine waters and secluded beaches; Talalla is one of the lesser known haunts “down south”. Its proximity to Mirissa and Hirikatiya provide visitors with access to natural reefs, water sports and whale watching tours. In addition Talalla is conveniently located close to the island’s major national parks, wildlife sanctuaries (namely Yala and Udawalawa) and various coastal heritage sites. Travellers who seek to indulge in simple pleasures need look no further than the villa’s estate where they can relax by the pool or take part in outdoor yoga and meditation classes.
