In the local Sinhala language of Sri Lanka, Kumbura means “rice paddy fields”. Yes, it faces scenic paddy fields, but this splendid villa is so much more than that. It is very close to the beautiful Koggala Lake, which is one of Sri Lanka’s most serene and verdant corners. In this rental property, you will be staying close to tea estates, forests with rich wildlife, swaying palms, many other tropical plants, and a lush garden. On entering this villa, you will be in a world where the stresses and hassles of everyday living will seem like a world away. This is a green and tranquil paradise, where you can relax and unwind completely for a fabulous holiday.

You can choose from double or twin bedrooms. If you are traveling with family, then the kids can stay in the twin room. It is connected to a double room with an interconnected bathroom, making it a good choice for young families.
Access to the house is through a paved village track that cuts through the rice paddy fields, tall trees, and ponds. As you meander through the village, you will feel that you are reaching somewhere special. On entering the villa compound, your gaze is sure to be drawn toward the glistening private pool, which is framed between coconut palms and other tall trees. The infinity-edge pool seems to merge with the rice fields beyond.

10/10The villa is absolutely gorgeous. The pool and outdoor spaces with an expansive view of the paddy fields was exceptional. The chef, Manjula, and all of the staff at the villa are wonderful and made us feel so comfortable and taken care of!
10/10The most idyllic holiday home. Fantastic pool, very child friendly, clean and spacious. A wonderful family holiday!
10/10Super cosy family-friendly villa Down a tea plantation-lined drive, Kumbura was magical from the start. The house felt like a home away from home – very cosy, the type of place you can just curl up on a sofa and relax. The staff – particularly Manjula - were absolutely lovely, so smiley! Fantastic pool overlooking the rice paddy fields – plus the pool is in the middle of the villa so great for keeping an eye on little ones. Would love to go back.
