One of the best-kept secrets of Sri Lanka’s west coast is the shimmering hamlet of Kosgoda, just south of Bentota. Naturally blessed with wide golden beaches, a beautiful bay, a small reef, and multiple estuaries flowing into an azure sea, these bejewelled surrounds were the colourful inspiration for the conception of Saffron & Blue. This elegant and thoughtfully designed four-bedroom villa and its charming staff look forward to welcoming you.

 

Saffron & Blue is all about spaces and places and hues. This beautifully designed villa in Bentota, has lots of bright nooks that

suit everyone’s moods. This villa is in Kosgoda, which means ‘a heap of jack fruit’. It is world renowned for its turtle hatchery and an abundant beauty of the ocean.

​

Fabrics from Jim Thompson of Thailand are predominant, interspersed with sustainable handlooms from Sri Lanka’s very own Barbara Sansoni and specially sourced cactus silks from Morocco. Most of the furniture is of Sri Lankan origin and includes a collection of rare antiques, as well as many other bespoke pieces made from teak, mahogany and jack wood. The villa is also home to a tasteful gallery of art by known Sri Lankan artists, as well as lesser-known painters from India, Cambodia, China, Malaysia and Thailand.

​

You will be warmly looked after at Saffron & Blue by Rajeewa and Kumudu, who pride themselves in making every guest feel as welcome as one of the owner’s closest friends.  Along with chef Chamith, this charming duo take care of everything from serving meals and drinks throughout the day, to keeping the villa and grounds pristine, to organising cars or tuk-tuks for sightseeing trips.
