This week I was tagged in a new location that’s trending, Villa Birdlake which is located in Hikkaduwa 

Overlooking breathtaking garden and lake views, which is an interesting view when you travel down south. The rooms feature a private balcony. And it comes with a story and it’s been a project done by a known social face Treshan Weerasooriya Pereira. I sat down to ask a few questions.

 

It’s been quite challenging, with the ongoing pandemic, and getting the property ready has been quite a task. Despite the many struggles of construction and other delays, we were determined to complete it successfully and deliver a hotel we are proud of!

 

The property was erected more than 45 years ago by my grandfather the late Hubert Edwin Weerasooriya. He was a prominent lawyer from the Galle District, Southern Province of Sri Lanka. Adding to his achievements, he was a Crown Proctor, Acting Magistrate of Galle and Vice President of the Bar Association of Sri Lanka and the President of the Bar Association of Galle, an ardent reader, and an author. The property was originally a private residence, however, with the passage of time and a passion, the hotel has undergone renovations in the past three years with great pains taken to protect the original structure and features of this property’s rich character and history.

 

It is our interior. Featuring artsy interior decorations and nature-inspired details with ample natural light, our hotel features a neutral colour palette complemented by earthy accents, creating a comfortable and inviting environment. The stunning interior is inspired by the beauty of nature and the surrounding vista and flora, the furniture and designs are comfortable and luxurious. The expansive rooms and property features bespoke artwork and crafts, guests can enjoy the attention of a concierge and curated culinary dishes throughout their stay.

 

Tastefully furnished, the interior stands out on its own. The walls are adorned with decorations, all hand-picked by us, The rooms have a tropical vibe running through them. Trademark style extends to all living spaces. The contemporary approach to decor truly soothes the senses and the well-thought-out floor plans allow in plenty of light and makes you feel energised.
