Pooja Kanda is a magnificent two storied villa that’s sits proudly atop a hill and was the home of the celebrated American Interior Designer Charles Hulse. His personal attention in designing and building the house and its immediate environs can be easily witnessed from its location to the intimate garden spaces and the design of the bedroom suites; three of which have their own private sitting areas which lead to a private balcony.
You enter the villa through a wide veranda which leads to spacious sitting rooms, hall and dining rooms furnished tastefully with ornately carved local antiques from the Dutch period. Further in you will encounter a TV room which is lined with settees and a cozy study where you can lose yourself in a good book.
A hidden rock terrace accessed by a bridge from the top floor overlooks the delightful pool which is surrounded by a natural forest which borders the villa.
Pooja Kanda is a 10 mt drive from the Southern capital city of Galle in the town of Koggala and is about a mile inland from some of the best golden sandy beaches in the country. The villa has all the modern amenities you could wish for and an in-house chef and steward who are available at all times. |
