At a glance
Malabar Hill sits 4 kilometres inland from Weligama on Sri Lanka’s south coast, on a hillside with views across wetlands, paddy fields and, in the distance, the Indian Ocean.
The property has 14 private villas, each with its own saltwater plunge pool, and the main building houses a 35-metre saltwater infinity pool, a restaurant and a bar with 270-degree views from hillside to sea.
A free shuttle runs to the hotel’s beach club at Weligama, around seven minutes away by road.
It is adults-only, there are no televisions in the rooms, and the wildlife that moves through the grounds includes monkeys, mongooses and the Malabar giant hornbill that gives the property its name.

Breakfast is included in the rate and runs from 7.30am to 10.30am. Couples dining and private dinners can be arranged.
The bar sits alongside the restaurant and is shaped around an ornately carved wooden arc, with 270-degree views taking in the hillside and the ocean.

The property has a yoga lawn for morning sessions and nature trails through the hillside vegetation. The Experience Coordinator can arrange any combination of these alongside cultural visits, picnics, village excursions and candlelit dinners.
