Stay at The Last House

The influence of Geoffrey Bawa’s famous brand of architecture has placed the Last House on the list of the top six best Sri Lankan Heritage Stays. With fresh white walls, grey polished cement floors and a mixture of antique and contemporary furniture, the Last House boasts a unique and charismatic style. The property is set within stunning gardens and the rooms provide views of the sea or lagoons, highlighting the tropical world of Sri Lanka. The Last House provides its guests with a truly relaxed and serene tropical hideaway in the Indian Ocean, as well as a variety of wildlife, cultural and heritage destinations to explore along the south coast.

As Geoffrey Bawa’s final example of his notorious brand of architecture all over Sri Lanka, this 6-bedroomed coastal escape provides space, ventilation and barefoot luxury for guests looking for a private escape in this tropical paradise. In this coastal home, guests can experience luxurious rooms that are open with a quintessential Bawa touch. Enjoy the opportunity for private dining either on your veranda or on the

each, allowing guests to experience an intimate and romantic evening.
The experienced chefs provide a dining experience with delicately prepared fresh, wholesome seafood, yet offer delicious alternatives for those guests who crave more variety. The cuisine at the Last House promises to offer guests a truly authentic flavour of the freshest ingredients to really emphasise the Sri Lankan heritage and culture.

In order for guests to fully enjoy and experience all that this coastal property has to offer, equipment is available for beach games, surfing, cycling, as well as the availability of a small fishing boat for hire to allow guest to explore the surrounding waters, bays, and beaches.

Judy & Chris

We had an amazing holiday in Sri Lanka. All the hotels, transfers, trips and experiences arranged by True Travel were perfect and all the arrangements went seamlessly according to plan. Our guide and driver, Thusita, was a really nice man and so knowledgeable, going out of his way to make sure that we experienced many of the Sri Lankan foods and traditions as possible. I would recommend True Travel to anyone especially if you have not visited the country before.
