We stayed at Siri Wedamadura for Christmas and New Year. The house and grounds are remarkable. Recently fully renovated, the house feels light and has neither more nor less than necessary for a very comfortable and truly relaxing stay. Modernization has been handled with great care for creating a fantastic mix of quality traditional and contemporary elements. Even though we were eight people, including 4 children, there was always enough space to either gather or to retreat. There are roofed over terraces front and back as well as a pool pavillon. Pool and grounds are beautifully kept, with three gardeners, keeping nature in check nicely. As much of the 5 acres are steep hill, the grounds feel even bigger than that. They also offer fantastic sea views from the top. Staff also includes a night watch, chef and housekeeper. All are efficient, friendly and unobtrusive. Our chef was a delight, and very responsive to our requests, be that Sri Lankan food (spicy to order) or a Christmas Turkey. There is plenty to see near and far – we surely need to come back to Sri Lanka to see Kandy and some of the nature reserves. House staff will help with local transport and excursions. Mirissa, although clearly a tourist destination, is a traditional village. The mixture works well. The excellent beach is 5 mins walk away and was never too crowded. We have rarely had a more convivial new year than this one on Mirissa beach. Surfing, at Mirissa, or the nearby Welligama, is the most popular activity, waves are ideal; sailing and diving are also available nearby. Entering the property from the quiet village road outside, we felt like coming “home” – We felt truly sorry leaving this wonderful house and wholeheartedly recommend spending time at Siri Wedamadura.
