Fancy getting a group together to really get away from it all?
The image above certainly stirred my interest,, even though I have never visited Sri Lanka and have no immediate plans to do so.
Teardrop Hotels has just unveiled Kalkudah Beach House, which will be open for stays from June 1.
The secluded retreat is on Sri Lanka’s untouched east coast and is a six-hour drive from Colombo, 35 kilometres north of Batticaloa and an hour’s drive from Polonnaruwa.
Kalkudah Beach House is set within a 25-acre coconut estate - it doesn't get much more country that that - with direct access to Kalkudah Bay, a stretch of soft, golden sand and calm waters.
The Main House was originally acquired as a family holiday home in the 1970s and known as Eastern Breeze Estate. During Sri Lanka’s 26-year civil war, the estate was abandoned and intermittently occupied by both the Sri Lankan military and Tamil Tigers.
The current owners purchased the property in 2004, shortly after a devastating tsunami swept through the region. The building had fallen into disrepair and required extensive refurbishment.
Over the past 20 years, a slow and deliberate evolution has shaped Kalkudah Beach House into what it is today. Additions include a two-bedroom villa, 22-metre swimming pool and water purification system that integrates the gardens and estate and fills the pool.
The Main House "blends timeless charm with modern comfort" with three large bedrooms with room for up to several adults.
The Palm Villa, meanwhile, is single storey villa with two suites, each suitable for up to three adults or two adults and one child.
Guests can book rooms individually, reserve an exclusive two-bedroom or three-bedroom villa, or opt for a full buyout of all five rooms for a private experience.
Fishermen bring in their daily catch right in front of the hotel and a la carte dining features dishes like sea crab and grilled reef fish.
