The Phoenix Retreat Hikkaduwa, Sri Lanka

Developing the Phoenix Retreat has been a real labour of love over the years. Our aim has always been to provide luxury accommodation in the most amazing tropical setting for guests who want to experience the real Sri Lanka but who also value having home comforts to hand.You will find lofty, light filled interiors, enhanced by contemporary bespoke furniture made in Moratua and the bold use of colour from furnishings sourced in Colombo’s fashionable districts. The original oil paintings that adorn every room are all the work of the talented local artist who has a shop The Saffron Gallery in Hikkaduwa. The ornate wood carvings and signs are the work of a gifted local wood carver Suda, also from Hikkaduwa. High ceilings and natural airflow keep the villa cool, sustained by the natural cement floors.There are air con units in all 3 bedrooms and ceiling fans throughout the property. The downstairs veranda and upstairs balcony are covered, to provide shade from the midday sun or shelter from the occasional tropical downpours.
