At its heart stands a lovingly restored Walawwa, an ancestral Manor House where history lingers beneath 8-meter ceilings, and sunlight dances across yoga sanctuaries, tranquil ponds, and secretive chill-out nooks. This is more than a villa — it’s a living canvas where art and nature intertwine. Friends and families gather effortlessly, sharing stories in vibrant communal spaces, while secluded alcoves invite quiet reflection. Outside, the estate hums with life — cinnamon plantations perfume the air, peacocks weave through golden paddies, and the hills shimmer with emerald tea. The Space: Sophistication meets soul in this exquisitely reimagined Manor. Thoughtful design, inspired by both heritage and modern artistry, creates a bold symphony of light, texture, and form. Flooded with natural light, cooled by architectural cross-breezes, and embraced by tropical gardens, the estate itself becomes a work of art. Twin kitchens cater to multiple dining spaces, while the estate’s café welcomes each morning with the scent of fresh espresso, promising slow, sunlit breakfasts. Guest Access: Every corner of this villa invites discovery — recline beneath softly whirring fans, dine in artistically curated spaces, or gather on terraces where the sky turns gold at dusk. Whether you seek celebration, connection, or quiet retreat, this soulful home offers it all — culminating in a spectacular yoga and event space overlooking the shimmering 18-meter terrazzo pool. Other Things to Note: The 9 Provinces Boutique Villa is offered exclusively to you and your guests. Your stay includes dedicated cleaning and maintenance staff, along with an in-house chef to prepare unforgettable breakfasts. For lunch and dinner, a private chef can be arranged to curate menus tailored to your tastes — with groceries and beverages pre-stocked upon request. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Private pool ### Internet -

This art is popularly seen in areas such as Ahangama, Koggala, Welipenna, Kathaluwa and Thalarambe. A narrow pole is tied to a stick that is anchored on the sea bed. Fisher folk climb onto this stick and settle on the pole for a few hours in an effort to catch some fish. Fishermen found on stilts are those who do not have access to sophisticated equipment for fishing. These men can make a living simply with the help of two wooden poles to make a stilt. One pole is nailed onto the sea bed and the other is placed like a cross bar and acts as a plank for the fishermen to sit on. Each stilt can accommodate only one fisherman. For catching fish, they create a rod made of Kithul, and a small plastic bag is tied around their waist to hold the fish that they catch. With one hand they hold onto the stilt and with the other they hold the rod that catches fish. The tradition of stilt fishing will always be practiced by those who cannot afford to invest in modern fishing equipment. #likealocal](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6055022/5663edf6-51ff-4b81-ad55-7891df4e41a5.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Koggala Lake 8 min drive \- 3.2 miles - ![Unawatuna, Sri Lanka has most gorgeous tropical beach you could wish for.
