Gangananda - Stunning Lakeside Villa With Large Pool Near The Sea

This stunning luxury boutique villa designed for 6 people will welcome you for an unforgettable stay in a preserved eco-system.

Breakfasts, filtered water and daily housekeeping are included as well as air conditioning in the bedrooms, wifi, satellite TV and the services of our manager and his staff.

In one of these, the king size bed can be separated into two single beds.

There is another bedroom with 2 single beds (which can be joined or separated), with an indoor bathroom.

Large king-size beds, with high quality mattresses and linen.

A contemporary hideaway, but with with antique windows and doors, smooth white concrete floors and an eclectic mix of furniture.

The living areas are wide and spacious with a book and film library and speaker systems. The kitchen is between the patio and the living room, but the resident chef can cook for you in the kitchen of the adjoining service house.

The infinity pool has breathtaking views over the Madampe lake and is 15’x 45’ with different levels for children of various ages. The maximum depth is 5’.

At least one member of staff stays in the service house overnight. Our chef can cook for you for lunch and dinner from our reasonably priced menu, the swimming pool is cleaned every day, and the manager is available for all your questions and needs.

The villa is in a small village not far from the busy town of Ambalangoda and the manager can arrange tuk tuk trips for you to the surrounding area or longer journeys and excursions in an air conditioned van. The lively town, Hikkaduwa, is close by and the famous Galle Fort UNESCO heritage site is just over 30 minutes away by tuk tuk.

Transfer from the airport: it takes only about 1 1/2 hours to reach the villa from the airport, depending on the traffic. We can arrange transport for you in an air conditioned minivan at a competitive price.

A tremendous venue for our Wedding!
The staff greeted us as soon as we arrived, and they were amazing the entire time. They greeted us each morning with coffee/tea and a delicious breakfast of fruit and omelets made to order, as well as native Sri Lankan dishes. For a nominal fee they also made us some delicious dinners of different types of curries. Everything was freshly made and tasted amazing. Every morning they cleaned the pool and manicured the grounds. The property itself is even better than the pictures depict. It was always immaculate. It's spacious, well decorated, and very comfortable. The A/C worked great in all the bedrooms. The beds were very comfortable and large. The outdoor bathrooms are a treat. After many failed attempts at working with local hotels to host our wedding event, I reached out to Martin (the owner) to see about using this property as our venue. He and Sampath (the onsite manager) were EXTREMELY accommodating. They made time for our wedding planner to make a trip out two weeks ahead of time in order to see the property and get a better idea for how to lay out the decorations, tables, etc. They offered to help with transportation of people to/from the airport (~1.5 hrs north in Colombo), and on the day of the event the staff was on hand (even though we never requested them to be) to lend a helping hand throughout the event. In fact, they even helped out on the day before when the decorations were being first set up. We HIGHLY recommend this property and the staff!

Stunning villa in a beautiful tranquil location
This was our 2nd stay at Ganganada and it was just as good as the first. This is such a modern, spacious villa. It's lovely having 3 bedrooms, huge living area and private pool rather than being cramped into a hotel room. The staff are all great and really helpful ( the villa comes with a chef, pool boy and cleaner. A manager lives close by to be on hand to organise day trips and transport. Food was great - marmalade and passion fruit jam at breakfast are so good that this time I preordered 4 jars to take home with us! As I mentioned, the food at the villa is fantastic, however the last night we went to Mangrovia Lagoon Restaurant, just outside Hikkaduwa, right on the Lagoon- one of the most memorable meals I have had in a long time. Absolutely stunning location serving gorgeous homemade Italian food. A Sri Lankan lady owns the restaurant and she does all the cooking and service. She worked in a restaurant in Italy for over 20 years so she really knows her stuff. Back to Gangananda, I couldn't recommend this place highly enough. Great for families or for a small group of friends. Total relaxation, a great place to unwind and recharge the batteries whilst watching the water monitor lizards swim in lagoon and monkeys jumping in the trees. Bliss
