Introducing Sundara by Mosvold; an 8-room luxury, design-led villa on the South coast of Sri Lanka

The southern coast of Sri Lanka is one of the best kept secrets in Asia for its tropical beaches, thriving design scene, cafe culture and ancient heritage landmarks.

Sundara by Mosvold, an 8-key luxury villa, by homegrown Sri Lankan chain, Mosvold Boutique Hotels, is situated in Balapitiya on the southwestern coast of the island. The oceanfront property is named after ‘Sundara’ the Sanskrit word for beautiful. The hotel is a top choice for travellers and families looking for a private, luxe getaway with a variety of local experiences and activities.

Sundara by Mosvold features eight luxurious rooms with varying themes and decor that reflect the signature style of Sri Lankan tropical minimalism. The rooms and public spaces have been designed and styled tastefully to reflect Sri Lankan aesthetics. The post-colonial, modern interiors, with gorgeously curated furniture and objets d’art make the whole space perfectly ‘Instagrammable’. In keeping with our philosophy of boutique experiential luxury, each of the rooms features its own style and personality. The eight rooms are spread across four different categories – beach villa, deluxe double sea view, deluxe twin sea view and deluxe double with private garden, with sizes ranging from 45 to 50 sq m. The pièce de résistance is the sprawling private two-bedroom villa, spread across 110 sq m, featuring its own swimming pool and separate entrance. Ideal for a small family or group of friends seeking a discreet and private getaway. The entire villa can accommodate up to 19 people at once. With uninterrupted views of the beach, you can directly access the pristine beach, which is delightfully non-touristy and offers the most amazing views of the sunset.

Local Experiences

Local experiences offered at Sundara include local cooking classes, Madu River boat safari, Ambalangoda mask museum, cinnamon experience, Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery and Bentota water sports all located just a few minutes from the property. Last but not the least, Geoffrey Bawa’s Lunuganga Estate is a design and architecture lover’s must-visit!

Nilanka Martinus, Managing Director of Mosvold Boutique Hotel says, “As Sri Lanka bounces back after a momentary tourism slump, experiential, boutique luxury is surely the way forward. Our guests at Sundara by Mosvold love to be immersed in our selection of curated local experiences by day and enjoy our gorgeous Sri Lankan design sensibilities and authentic hospitality by evening. This is indeed a unique selling point of our diverse island.
