Hillside villa, sleeps 10, beach front, pool, chef

Located on Sri Lanka’s south coast, Saffron House is one of 3 stunning villas that comprise The ON Houses, in Weligama.

With breathtaking views of the Ocean, direct access to the beach and nestled hillside amidst palm and frangipani trees, Saffron House is a large airy 5 bedroom villa that is quintessential quiet luxury.

The design of Saffron House is inspired by Indian architecture while the chic, spacious interiors tastefully fuse Sri Lankan antiques with Indian and Moroccan fabrics and rugs.

Named after the spice, Saffron, which is derived from an Arabic word meaning “to become yellow” Saffron House decor and colors are true to its name with their gorgeous golden earthy tones.

Setting the stage for moments to remember is the majestic infinity pool flanked by graceful columns and bordered by a low cushion clad seating area. Sun beds are ready to receive guests on arrival for a complimentary and blissful foot massage. A jumping deck from the floor above is open for those who dare, and most do!

A poolside massage room is thoughtfully prepared with candles, incense and the best massage therapist on island.

The villa’s formal living room features a charming Romeo and Juliet balcony overlooking a cascading tropical garden and magnificent views, providing the ultimate backdrop for relaxed socializing.

All 5 en-suite bedrooms are tastefully styled, generous in size and comfortable. Each with its own verandah and extraordinary view of the ocean.

Topping it all off is the roof top itself, a breezy lounge area for yoga, meditation, morning coffee, afternoon tea or dancing till dawn.

Saffron House also comes with its own friendly and dedicated team. Unobtrusive and expert, each member knows exactly what is needed and when to provide it. Guests are invited to collaborate with the chef about their meals which are served in the garden dining pavilion or on the dining deck under the stars

Saffron House is your home in Sri Lanka where understated elegance meets easy barefoot luxury.
