Perched high on a clifftop, the Far Horizons is a newly built 5 bedroom villa that enjoys spectacular views by day and night over the bay of Unawatuna and the ocean beyond. The villa is fully staffed and available to rent as a whole and by the room. Situated just 10 minutes walk from the beach, down a path and steps past a temple (or about 15 minutes by the road), the villa is located in a small
village community at the top of a steep and bumpy hill. You can dip in and out of the shops, restaurants and nightlife of Unawatuna as you wish, while enjoying a more authentic experience of Sri Lanka than in resort accommodation. We also offer a free daily tuk tuk per room down to the centre of Unawatuna or to the beach at Mihiripenna. Enter the front porch, kick off your flipflops and enjoy the feel of the cool polished cement floors underfoot. Through the central living room, you emerge onto a large wooden railed veranda and outdoor dining area, with plenty of seating for 10 people to dine, relax and enjoy the view. Down the granite steps you reach the grassy terrace, where the water sparkles invitingly on the pale green slates lining the 50ft infinity pool. The entrance to the pool has wide, shallow steps, perfect for parents to play with toddlers, or to sit and enjoy a drink. The infinity end reaches 6ft deep, but is furnished with narrow steps where you can stand to gaze at the scene below. Eagles can sometimes be seen both overhead and swooping down below the pool. There are both sunny and shady areas and plenty of comfortable sunbeds and hammocks around the pool. Furnished with an eclectic mix of antique and modern furniture and artefacts the villa highlights natural finish teak woodwork, custom made jakwood, teak,and painted furniture, handloom fabrics from Vyanni of Unawatuna and original artwork by artists from all over Sri Lanka. Breakfast is included in the room rate and a daily evening meal is offered, plus snacks and soft drinks. Guests are welcome to bring their own alcohol. The kitchen is modern and well equipped. The villa has 5 bedrooms, all with aircon, ceiling fans, four poster beds, mosquito nets, lockable wardrobes with plenty of hanging space, minibar, safe, tea and coffee making facilities and ensuites with walk-in rainshowers and toiletries. All ensuites have non-slip slate floors.
