Escape to paradise!!! Beautiful Sri Lanka is open again.
Beach front villa with private pool… perfect for a family or friends holidaying together. Reef House is a 3-bedroom/3 bathroom colonial style private beach villa located in Madiha (near Mirissa) on the south coast of Sri Lanka. This elegant property offers a luxury stay for up to 6 guests seeking an 'away from it all' beach experience.
An open plan living/dining room with pool and ocean views leads to a sit out veranda and a neatly manicured garden.
A feature spiral staircase takes you to the master bedroom and bedroom 2 sharing a large balcony with sitting area and stunning views of the Indian Ocean. The third bedroom is downstairs and enjoys pool and ocean views. All bedrooms are elegantly furnished (two with 4 poster beds) with Air Con, ceiling fans, solar hot water, mosquito nets and private en-suites with rain showers.
There is a lovely pool with Jacuzzi. Sun beds and deck chairs are scattered around the garden offering complete privacy.
The villa comes with a housekeeper. There are an array of restaurants within walking distance with 2 directly outside our gate. Doctor’s House restaurant and the newly opened 360 Degree restaurant are all within 8 mins stroll away. Guests can take their meals on the veranda or at the main dining table. There is also a lovely outdoor four poster bed by the ocean steps for those evening sundowners.
The beach is accessed via a private gate and steps. On occasion sea turtles can be seen swimming off the rocks. During season females nest on the beach close to the villa. A truly unique experience to watch the baby turtles swim out to sea....
Just a short stroll along the beach are 3 wonderful rock pools. Perfect for children to play in and it's completely safe.
There is Wi-Fi at the property. A small library of books and a selection of board games are available for guest use.

We had a fabulous time at Reef House. The area is beatiful of course, but the main attraction for us was our host, Caritha, and the staff, Benedict and Nadun. The team really made our stay one to remember. thank you Charitha for providing us with these amazing memories!

Thanks for choosing our villa. Really glad you enjoyed your stay.
Peaceful location for relax - as a paradise with fantastic ocean you enjoy from any villas location and relaxing ocean sound 24x7. Amazing food cooked by chef. However, not a nice play to enjoy swimming in ghe ocean as location is on dangerous reef but surfers maybe can enjoy. Once avain - for relax one of the best places I has seen ever

It was our pleasure to have hosted you! We are so pleased you enjoyed the villa and the food!
Hope you will come back again :)
The Reef House was absolutely perfect for our family. Siri the chef cooked well up to good restaurant standard and went to the market to get fresh locally sourced food. Chattu looked after the cleaning, bed making and putting out the sun beds etc. There was a great little bar 15ft from the gate that made great cocktails and we also had our breakfast there although Siri would have done it. The people were so friendly and there were Tuk Tuks about 100 yards away. We snorkelled with the turtles and the driver (Ajith) was always on hand to take you anywhere ( Galle and Tea plantation) as well as dropping us back to the airport. Would definitely recommend and we will be going back.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback Chris. It was a pleasure to have hosted you and your lovely family.
We truly hope you will return to Reef House.
All the best,
Charitha & the team at Reef House.
Parfait séjour en famille.
La maison est confortable, très bien située et très agréable à vivre.
Le personnel sur place est à l'écoute et aux petits soins!
La présence de deux bars/restaurants à proximité ne nuit pas au calme qui y règne mais vous offre des possibilités supplémentaires pour vous restaurer.
Nous reviendrons sans hésiter
