The pool and loungers at The Boat House, looking out over Dikwella Bay

Dikwella Bay · Southern Sri Lanka

A whole house by the sea.

Four bedrooms, a private chef and a butler, on the beach at Dikwella Bay. Yours entirely. The kind of staffed luxury that usually costs twice as much.

Affordable luxury, wholly private

Not a hotel. Not a rental. A staffed home that happens to sit on the sand.

The Boat House is sold as one house, to one party. Family, friends, a celebration. The team cook, clean and look after you; the beach does the rest.

01

Private beachfront

Set in over an acre of tropical garden running straight down to a long, quiet beach on Dikwella Bay.

02

Infinity pool

A 10-metre private infinity pool overlooking the Indian Ocean, framed by palms and sun loungers.

03

A private chef

Internationally trained chefs cooking Sri Lankan, international or home cooking to your taste, three meals a day.

04

Butler & staff

A full team living onsite: butler, chefs, housekeeping and gardeners. The house is run so you don't have to.

Light-filled rooms, teak and linen, ceiling fans turning slowly. Every window frames the garden, the pool or the sea.

In their words

“This is the perfect setting for the most relaxing break imaginable: the house combines comfort with elegance.”

David Sharrock · February 2022

“This villa and staff are definitely worthy of 5 stars. They really are the ultimate complete relaxation package.”
