The original beachcomber Edmund Banfield would have been delighted to make his home at the Beach House at Seenimodera in Tangalle.

With direct access onto one of the finest beaches in the Indian Ocean, a large tropical garden and a stunning infinity pool, this is definitely barefoot luxury at its best.

Once the tropical retreat of American artist Douglas Johnson, The Beach House has been upgraded to meet the needs of the most demanding modern beachcomber. Five en-suite bedrooms, many with outdoor bathrooms offer dreamy nights for guests, while a full time staff of four provide discreetly for your every need. For those wishing to venture than the ocean on your doorstep; day trips can easily be made to the game reserve at Uda Walawe, neighbouring rock temples, turtle hatcheries, bird sanctuaries and vibrant local markets.
