Aliya Watunu Hena - Two-Bedroom Main House in Tangalle

Main House: Space, Calm & Tropical Living — By Design

The Main House at Aliya Watunu Hena is a thoughtfully renovated private villa for travelers who value space, airflow, privacy, and authenticity over mass tourism and artificial luxury. Set within a lush tropical garden, the house offers a rare balance: walkable access to beautiful beaches, yet complete calm once you step inside the property. This is southern Sri Lanka as it truly is — green, warm, slow, and alive.

The Space

The Main House features two spacious queen-size bedrooms, generous indoor living areas, and a wide shaded veranda overlooking the garden.

The layout is intentionally open and airy, designed for natural ventilation rather than sealed, air-conditioned living. Large windows and sliding doors combined with full-size breathable mosquito blinds allow constant airflow while keeping insects out.

Simply open the house to the breeze — the climate does the rest.

Bathroom — A Local Luxury

The Main House features a fully walled, partially open-air bathroom that combines privacy with a close connection to nature.

Showers use naturally ambient-temperature water, a widely appreciated local standard perfectly suited to the tropical climate. Many guests find it cooling, energizing, and more pleasant than hot water, especially after the beach or a warm day.

This is not a compromise — it’s part of living well in the tropics.

Designed for Comfort Without Excess

☐ Ceiling fans in every room for gentle, energy-efficient cooling
☐ Fiber-optic broadband Wi-Fi — fast, stable, and suitable for remote work
☐ USB-A & USB-C charging points throughout the house
☐ Filtered drinking water available directly in the kitchenette
☐ Complimentary Ayurvedic herbal toiletries, locally sourced and plastic-light

The Main House is designed to maximize comfort while minimizing environmental impact — intelligent architecture instead of unnecessary energy use.

Garden & Outdoor Living

A wide, shaded veranda and a lush tropical garden create natural extensions of the living space. It’s an ideal setting for:
☐ Morning coffee with birds and breeze
☐ Reading, working, or unwinding during the day
☐ Sunset drinks in complete calm

Despite being close to the ocean, the property sits in a quiet residential neighborhood with no traffic noise.

Location — Walk Everywhere, Hear Nothing

Aliya Watunu Hena is perfectly positioned between Unakuruwa Beach and Paradise Beach, home to Ranlakshmi Beach Paradise and the renowned Walatha Seafood Restaurant. Silent Beach is just a 10–15 minute walk, with relaxed beach bars and cafés along the way. No driving. No crowds. No noise.

☐ Couples, friends and families seeking space and privacy
