VILLA #54

A sun-warmed retreat on the coast of Hikkaduwa, Talpe.

Our ethos
We made VILLA #54 for the unhurried — long lunches in the shade, salt still on your skin, the slow gold of evening. A house on the coast that quietly becomes your own.

The VILLA #54 Experience

01 — Dining

The Table

Long, sun-drunk lunches that drift into evening. A single daily menu drawn from the market and the garden, poured with island wine beneath the fig tree.

02 — Spa

The Baths

A cool stone hammam carved into the hillside. Salt scrubs, olive oil, and the hush of water — the oldest kind of luxury, kept deliberately simple.

03 — Coastline

The Coast

Steps from the terrace to hidden coves and impossibly clear water. Wooden boats at dawn, and a sea that turns to gold every evening without fail.

The restaurant

A single table, set by the sea.

One daily menu, drawn from the morning market and the kitchen garden, served long and slow beneath the pines. Wood-fire, island wine, and the last of the light on the water.

Guest words

“We came for a weekend and rebooked before we left. The kind of quiet you forget exists.”

Elena & Marco R.
The Villa Residence

“Breakfast under the fig tree, the sea a few steps away. I have never slept so well.”

Sofia L.
The Ocean Suite

“Every detail considered, nothing performed. It felt like staying in a friend's very beautiful house.”

James & Adeline T.
The Loft

“The light, the stone, the long lunches — we are already planning next summer.”

The setting

On the edge of the Indian Ocean.

A restored stone house above a quiet cove, wrapped in olive terraces and pine. Close enough to the village for long dinners; far enough to hear only the sea.

Getting here

45 minutes from the island airport · Private transfers arranged on request · Boats from the harbour steps below.

Notes on a slow morning

On the small rituals — coffee on the terrace, the first swim — that make a stay feel like your own.

The kitchen

Where we buy our olive oil

A morning with the family two valleys over who have pressed the same groves for a century.

A swim before breakfast

Why the best hour of the day is the one before anyone else is awake.
