Overview
Nestled in the tranquil village of Kathaluwa, on the serene Koggala Lake, Kathaluwa Villa offers a truly enchanting escape. This remarkable villa is spread across two separate pavilions, with the sleeping pavilion providing breathtaking views of the water and the uninhabited island of Madol Doova. Upstairs, the master suite features floor-to-ceiling windows that open up to a private terrace, while the bathroom includes both a bathtub and a shower. The ground floor houses two additional bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and the other with twin beds, each with its own en-suite bathroom.
The stunning tiled pool, set against the lake, stretches along a sun deck perfect for relaxing in the warmth of the day. Adjacent to the pool, the dining pavilion invites you to unwind with its comfortable outdoor seating.
