Kanda House Talpe UNAWATUNA

Starting from $550
4 guests
2 rooms
3 bathrooms

Kanda House sits on the hillside above Unawatuna, close enough to the coast to reach it on foot and far enough up to keep the pace of a hill rather than a beach town. The villa is small by design, two bedrooms built for couples and small families rather than groups, and everything about it, the sunken sofa, the surfboard-lined walls, the open-plan kitchen, leans into a relaxed, modern take on south coast living rather than trying to be more than it is.

Amenities at Kanda House Talpe

Kanda House Talpe exterior patio pool alternate view

The pool runs sixteen metres, generous for a two-bedroom villa and never shared with anyone beyond whoever booked it.

Kanda House Talpe garden pathway with stone wall

The living room sinks below floor level, sofa and all, which sounds like a design flourish until you actually sit in it.

Frequently asked questions

Check our FAQ for details on villa

What is Kanda House Talpe?
A two-bedroom hillside villa above Unawatuna with a private plunge pool, sunken living room, and an open-air office space, built for couples or small families.
How many guests does the villa sleep?
Up to 4 adults across two bedrooms, one with a king bed and one convertible between twin beds and a king.
Is the villa close to the beach?
Yes, Wijaya Beach is within walking distance, with Unawatuna's main beach a short walk or drive further on.
Does the villa have a generator?
No. Hot water runs on solar power and there is no backup generator, so power can drop out briefly during heavy rain. Most guests find this a minor trade-off for the setting.
Is there a private chef?
A private chef can be arranged on request for guests who'd prefer not to use the kitchen themselves.
Is Kanda House suitable for remote work?
Yes, there's a dedicated open-air office space upstairs alongside the two bedrooms.
