The Kosgoda Beach Resort is nestled between a lagoon and the Indian Ocean, along Sri Lanka’s famous Southern Coast, just 80Km from Colombo. It is a dwelling for discovery that will coax you to find your balance against the stress of daily life. The resort re-opened after refurbishment in March 2006 and is one of only two hotels on the beach at Kosgoda, where turtles come ashore regularly to lay their eggs. It is also especially renowned for its ayurvedic center and a range of activities ranging from bird watching within its lagoon, to wildlife trips, to visiting world heritage sites in the South of Sri Lanka. An assortment of indoor games and abundant reading material is available for the more ‘home-bound’ guest.

Sceir Thurtair is a brand new villa completed in August 2008. Caringly designed by its Irish owners, the beach villa is unique with stone walls, high ceilings in the lounge area and rooms located at a split level reached via a series of steps and overhead walkway. The living room opens out to a large circular swimming pool with fountains, water slides and a pool bar ideal for children and adults alike. The sea right in front of the villa is suitable for strong swimmers during the season from November to April. A few minutes walk takes you to a beautiful stretch of beach which is ideal for families with children.
