After driving along a narrow lane surrounded by tropical bush to come across an understated stunning house open to the beach was breathtaking. This house was designed for a family as a beach house by acclaimed Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa . It is now a boutique hotel which entices you to throw off your shoes and lie on the huge sofa on the open verandah and relax. The accommodation includes huge bedrooms with gorgeous wooden furniture leading into open bathrooms plus private courtyards. The staff are easy going and efficient and the food superb. It was like staying with a friend!

This privately owned hotel accommodates only a few guests at a time. The staff are so attentive it makes you feel like you’re at home. If you are interested in a wonderful example of Geoffrey Bawa architecture then this is a “must see”. Beach frontage to a secluded location is accessed through a lovely tropical garden

Commençons par le plus important : cet hôtel est situé à un emplacement parfait. La plage sur laquelle il est posé est absolument magnifique et quasiment déserte. C’est un plaisir de s’y promener à toute heure et il y a plein d’options de restauration. L’architecture de l’hôtel et le jardin sont en parfaite harmonie avec cet environnement, la nature est partout avec des paons sauvages et des caméléons qui nous rendent visite au petit déjeuner. Concernant ce qui nous a gêné, au vu du prix des chambres, nous avons regretté de ne pas avoir une meilleure isolation dans celle-ci. L’absence de vitrage fait qu’il fait très chaud à l’intérieur, et que nous avons eu besoin de dormir avec la climatisation allumée, malheureusement mal positionnée au-dessus du lit. Quelques éléments de confort supplémentaires auraient été appréciés, on a vraiment un équipement minimaliste des chambres dans cet hôtel. Le petit déjeuner est fait maison et excellent, et nous avons également apprécié notre dîner sous les arbres du jardin. Service très aimable de tout le personnel.

Architects only get better as they get older and this is Geoffrey Bawa’s last house. An architecturally superb, sensitively decorated and beautifully maintained beach house at the end of one of Sri Lanka’s best beaches. Well trained and friendly staff, an excellent cook, efficient house keeping and a charming and helpful Manager. Ideal for those seeking to drop off the map.

We had a wonderful stay here it is a truly unique boutique hotel. Our rooms were out of this world with gorgeous views and a bathroom to die for. Everyone in the hotel couldn’t have been kinder and body boarding in the Indian Ocean was totally amazing. We loved it

Returning to Geoffrey Bawa’s iconic Last House is like stepping into a living masterpiece. It isn't just a Bawa-designed marvel, it feels like a cherished family home—a place where you belong. The owner’s vision is evident in the details, creating a space that inspires relaxation and connection to nature. The staff are attentive and kind ensuring my stay was seamless—leaving me free to enjoy the serenity of the setting. Mornings began with a beautiful breakfast - and the joy of playing in the white waves of the Sri Lankan Ocean. I loved the fruit platter and the thamili with a Sri Lankan herb. I always looked forward to lunch and supper with a range of Sri Lankan vegetable curries - often after a lime soda or something stronger - I always felt full and never heavy. The gardens are lush and alive with wildlife: I love the different flowers - the water lilies, frangipani, and white bougainvillea. Peacocks strut across the grass, langurs run along the garden wall and eat the pandanus fruit, and the birds have become more diverse. The neighboring rewilding site by the lake has enriched the biodiversity, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts. The Last House offers more than just a getaway—it’s an invitation to live beautifully, immersed in the harmony of design, nature, and genuine hospitality.

Beautiful property with gorgeous spacious rooms by a famous architect Geoffrey Bawa. Lovely staff who are very accomodating and fantastic food, especially the Sri Lankan omelette and traditional curry set! The beach is peaceful and local towns are only 10-15mins away.

Wonderful house designed by renowned Sri Lankan architect, Geoffrey Bawa, choc full of interesting art and artefacts. We loved the quiet location at the end of a beautiful beach. We stayed in the Cinnamon Room upstairs where the sound of the waves lulled us to sleep. Leaving doors and windows open created a cooling breeze. The friendly manager, Ananda, made an effort to check in with all the guests every day. The warm staff are unobtrusive but always on hand for anything you need. As part of their eco conscious drive they provide water in glass bottles in the rooms, which are topped up daily. Loved their Ayurvedic toiletries made from natural products like coconut, vanilla and cinnamon.The food is all freshly made and absolutely delicious. We are vegetarian so could have done with a few more dinner options but used the opportunity to try some local restaurants in nearby Tangalle, all easily accessible in a tuk tuk.
