This luxury Villa in Mirissa sits proudly on a clifftop filled with palm trees, enjoying exceptional elevated south-facing ocean views with a breath-taking view of the Indian Ocean.
Perched high above the curve of Weligama Bay, Villa 23 is a striking expression of contemporary design, conceived to welcome natural light and ocean breeze into every corner of its open‑air structure. Crafted from bare concrete, local teak, and woven coconut leaves, the villa blends modernist lines with a distinctly Sri Lankan sensibility, creating a space that feels both sculptural and deeply connected to its surroundings. Elevated platforms reveal uninterrupted views of the private beach below, while the hilltop setting ensures a sense of seclusion far removed from the bustle of nearby towns. The infinity pool stretches toward the horizon, offering one of the villa’s most captivating vantage points, where guests can linger over the shifting colours of the bay. Designed to celebrate space, air, and landscape, Villa 23 stands as a serene retreat for travellers seeking privacy, beauty, and architectural sophistication.
Villa 23’s elevated design and open architectural features create a beautifully immersive experience, though they do call for a little extra mindfulness for families travelling with younger children. The infinity pool, garden pathways, and private beach are all wonderful spaces to enjoy, but they are best experienced with attentive supervision to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. As the villa is positioned on a clifftop with natural drops along the edges, guests are encouraged to take care when exploring the outdoor areas, particularly with children. Families with children under 12 are warmly welcomed, provided parents are confident in supervising them closely throughout their stay. As with many architecturally open villas, the villa team and management are unable to assume responsibility for the supervision or safety of children on the property. With this gentle awareness in mind, guests can relax fully and enjoy the villa’s unique setting with complete peace of mind.
The bedroom collection at Villa 23 has been designed with a minimalist sensibility, allowing the natural beauty of Weligama Bay to take centre stage. Three of the bedrooms are located within the main villa, each offering calming sea views, private ensuite bathrooms, and balconies that open directly to the ocean breeze. The master suite is particularly striking, cantilevered over the garden with wooden panels that frame uninterrupted vistas of the bay, the red cliffs, and the rolling hills beyond. Two additional sea‑view bedrooms continue the villa’s understated aesthetic, blending warm teak accents with the clean architectural lines that define the property. A fourth bedroom (cottage with small pool) sits within a standalone garden‑view pavilion, offering a peaceful sense of separation while remaining very much part of the villa’s serene atmosphere. Together, these four bedrooms create a restful and refined environment, ideal for guests seeking privacy, comfort, and a deep connection to the surrounding landscape.

Villa 23’s interior is conceived as an ode to Sri Lankan craftsmanship, expressed through the use of raw concrete, local teak, and traditional coconut‑leaf detailing. The villa unfolds across a series of open platforms connected by gentle stairways, creating a sense of movement and discovery as guests transition between living spaces. These elevated levels offer sweeping views of the private beach below, ensuring that the ocean remains a constant presence throughout the villa. The design emphasises natural ventilation, allowing the sea breeze to drift through the structure and soften the clean architectural lines. This thoughtful interplay between modernity and tradition creates an atmosphere that is both calming and visually striking, making Villa 23 a rare example of contemporary tropical design executed with authenticity and grace.
Check‑in is available from 14.00, with check‑out at 12.00, allowing guests ample time to settle into the villa’s serene rhythm. During the festive season, a mandatory supplement applies on 24 December and 31 December, with separate rates for adults and children under 12. The villa’s design includes open spaces and elevated areas, making it particularly suited to guests who appreciate architectural homes with character and movement. With its blend of contemporary artistry, natural materials, and exceptional service, Villa 23 offers an unforgettable stay in one of Sri Lanka’s most captivating coastal settings.
Guests at Villa 23 are looked after by a dedicated team, including an experienced in‑house chef who can prepare meals tailored to individual preferences. Guests can discuss their menu preferences directly with the chef. Read more about the Villa meals policy in Sri Lanka.
Additional services such as private yoga sessions and in‑villa spa treatments can be arranged upon request, offering moments of deep relaxation within the comfort of the villa. With 24‑hour security on site, guests can enjoy complete peace of mind throughout their stay.

A summer hut nestled within the garden provides a quiet retreat for reading, meditation, or simply absorbing the tranquillity of the surroundings.

REVIEWS
“A stay we’ll never forget” – Date of Stay: February 2026 – Emma & Daniel
“We spent a long weekend at Villa 23 and were genuinely blown away by the experience. The villa feels like a piece of modern art perched above the ocean, the kind of place where every angle reveals another incredible view. What stood out most was the sense of calm; mornings began with the sound of waves drifting up from the bay, and evenings ended with the sky turning every shade of gold and pink. The team were thoughtful and discreet, always ready to help but never interrupting the peaceful atmosphere. We spent most of our time by the infinity pool, lingering over slow breakfasts and long sunset dinners without ever feeling the need to go anywhere else. It was the perfect escape, and we left feeling completely restored. We’ll definitely be back.”
“Paradise” – Date of Stay: December 2025 – Sofia & Mark
“Our December stay at Villa 23 was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, the property felt like a private sanctuary — lush gardens, sweeping ocean views, and a layout that gives you space to breathe. We loved starting our mornings with yoga overlooking the bay and spending afternoons wandering down to the quiet beach below. The villa’s design is stunning, but it’s the atmosphere that really sets it apart: peaceful, spacious, and deeply relaxing. The team made everything effortless, from arranging meals to helping us plan our days, and their warmth added so much to the experience. Watching the sunset from the infinity pool became our favourite ritual, and it’s something we’ll remember for a long time. We left feeling lighter, happier, and already talking about when we can return.”
