Sri Lanka

Saffon House is a spectacular headland property with elevated ocean views, cool
year-round breezes offering stunning ocean views from the terraces.
Conveniently located on the Galle side of Weligama – one of Sri Lanka’s best surfing bays, especially suitable for beginners & intermediate surfers – with a very family friendly vibe & fabulous cafes and restaurants.

Saffron House is part of the On Houses collection of 3 identical houses that can be rented together or separately. Each has 5 bedroom suites & are environment friendly having been carefully designed to respect the topography and landscape of the sloping site by use of a stepped design. The cross-section​ and orientation of the houses maximize the natural ventilation from sea breezes to cool the living spaces.

The private pools cool the sea breeze as it passes over the water in turn cooling the lower terraces of the House. Hot water is heated from solar collectors.

Saffron House has views out to sea from all levels. As you enter the polished hall the infinity edge pool is on the right. Ocean views are visible. From this level are stairs down to the yoga studio & outside dining. Up the stairs past the kitchen leads to the sitting room & covered dining space. In front of here again with uninterrupted ocean views is the teak timber deck from which guests can jump into the pool.

Two of the five bedrooms are on this level & come with private terraces. The other 3 bedrooms are on the next level & share a terrace. All bedrooms have ceiling fans as well as air-conditioning & all the beds are fitted with mosquito nets.
