Malabar Hill

Discover Malabar Hill

Malabar Hill is a nature-focused luxury resort featuring 10 hidden-away villas with infinity pools. Set in Sri Lanka’s southwest, it is conveniently close to the best tourist spots, beaches, and wildernesses on the island. With sea-facing hilltop views to take your breath away, Malabar Hill offers modern comforts with heritage details. Once a cinnamon plantation, this hideaway is perfect for honeymooners and those seeking a serene sanctuary. Stroll the hotel’s nature trails, stretch out on the yoga lawn, or luxuriate in the Ayurvedic Spa.

The hotel faces both seawards and inland, across rice paddies and rainforests. Built-in a stylish blend of Sri Lankan, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern traditions, it's perfect for design-conscious travellers. The 12 exclusive, free-standing villas are set within the natural landscape, providing both scenic views and privacy. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open out onto private terraces with salt-water infinity pools. The hotel’s open-sided dining room, Hill House, has a colonial vibe and serves Sri Lankan, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes. If you aren’t lounging on the pool’s day beds, try your hand at cooking classes, yoga and guided birdwatching, or head out to explore this very special corner of Sri Lanka’s south coast.
