Long-admired by architecture aficionados and guidebook writers, this sprawling three-property former plantation nestles you amongst a thick canopy of jungle plants. From this 20-acre retreat, you can enjoy stunning views across mountains, rivers and plains, and you’re just a short drive from white, sandy beaches. However, we think your focus will be on the home itself – the gorgeous pool will feel like an oasis in the heat, and the courtyard and pavilions provide plenty of tranquil spots for afternoon cocktails. Open up the windows in the main house and cottages to allow a slow breeze to pass through the stylish interiors as you await your next chef-booked meal in rooms and living spaces replete with Sri Lankan objets d'art.
