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.
Hello there, Welcome to Handun Villas for an authentic Sri Lanka Experience. The Villa is our ancestral home and we take a lot of pride and care in hosting our guests. Enjoy your stay with us at Handun Villas. Regards, Nayomi Handunnetti
Our In-house wellness centre offers you beautiful people with Spa, Yoga, and meditation facilities. Also, you might want to learn how to cook the world-famous "Sri Lankan Rice & Curry" from our very own chefs from Southern Sri Lanka. There are places such as Dondra Lighthouse, Mulkirigala Rock Temple, Dondra Lighthouse, and Pigeon Island Temple that could be easily accessed. Surfing lessons also could be arranged. Restaurants and bars in the neighbourhood. The clean and long stretch of the Talalla Bay & Ocean.
