SUNDARA BY MOSVOLD
BOUTIQUE HOTEL IN BALAPITIYA

Escape to our beautiful island getaway, located in one of the most pristine corners of our country. Sundara by Mosvold is tucked away discreetly in Balapitiya, and along a pristine beach on the southwestern coast of the island. Our eight-room, boutique luxury hotel, under the homegrown chain Mosvold Boutique Hotels, is named after ‘Sundara’ the Sanskrit word for beautiful. You will absolutely love our location, suspended somewhere between a pristine beach, the lush green mangroves and the dreamy Madu River. The property is an easy two-hour drive from Colombo’s Bandaranaike International Airport and about an hour’s drive from the UNESCO World Heritage Galle Fort.

Modern Grandeur

Feel right at home in any one of our luxurious rooms, which combines old-world charm with all modern comforts to bring you the best of both worlds. Relax on your own verandah, walk out to the private beach and pamper yourself with the cozy indulgences that we provide for you to make your stay blissful.

Experience Balapitiya

What’s more
From all points of our property, you can directly access the pristine beach, which is delightfully non-touristy and offers the most breathtaking sunsets every evening. Step out of the main villa, through the verandah and towards the large swimming pool, framed beautifully by swaying palm trees, leading straight out to the beach. An elegant gazebo is where we serve our meals. Our menu features the best of Sri Lankan and international cuisine. Wherever possible, we source local produce like fish, spices, fruit and vegetables to keep up our philosophy of sustaining the local economy. Our gazebo is the ideal place for a lazy lunch, a cup of Ceylon tea in the afternoon, a couple of local beers at sundown or a three-course dinner by night.

In and around
If you are staying with us, be sure to check out some of the amazing local experiences that are around the property. The Kosgoda Turtle Conservation Project is a must visit, as is a safari down the Madu River. Design enthusiasts will find much to love at the iconic Lunuganga Estate, which once belonged to Geoffrey Bawa, while the nearby Hikkaduwa beach offers many options for water sports and snorkelling. Or maybe ask us to curate a special cooking demonstration for you? Or concierge recommendations are always on point!

rooms & suites

With decor that reflects the signature style of Sri Lankan tropical minimalism, Sundara by Mosvold is designed to make you feel like you have shut out the world as soon as you walk over the koi ponds to enter the stately front verandah. Here, a common living area and reception leads out to the different rooms and towards the swimming pool. Sundara by Mosvold’s rooms and public spaces have been designed and styled tastefully to reflect Sri Lankan aesthetics. The post-colonial, modern interiors, with gorgeously curated furniture and objets d’art make the whole space perfectly ‘Instagrammable’. If you look closely, you will see that no two rooms are alike. In keeping with our philosophy of boutique experiential luxury, each of our rooms features its own style and personality, but one that instantly immerses travellers in a sense of island context. Our eight rooms are spread across four different categories – beach villa, deluxe double sea view, deluxe twin sea view and deluxe double with private garden, with sizes ranging from 45 to 50 sq m. The pièce de résistance is our sprawling private two-bedroom villa, spread across 110 sq m, and featuring its own swimming pool and separate entrance. Ideal for a small family or group of friends seeking a discreet and private getaway. For a larger group, looking to buy out the entire villa, we can accommodate up to 19 people at once.
