The largest room in the house, the bedroom manages to be both spacious and intimate, with high ceilings and free-flowing spaces, with cozy corners for reading, lounging, writing or enjoying the house’s home theatre system. White-washed wood walls highlight brilliant Indian and Sri Lankan designs and fabrics - hints of local colour.
Classic furnishings, such as a writer’s desk and an elaborate dressing screen, recall a romantic history. The windows above the cushioned window daybed let in the perfect amount of island sunlight for reading a classic from the bookshelf. At night, the plush feather mattress on the oversized king bed, featuring elegant hardwood and rattan fittings, and 300-thread count cotton bed linens invite the sweetest of dreams as you fall asleep to the ebb and flow of the Indian Ocean just steps away. With natural fluidity, the hardwood floors of the bedroom give way to the infinity-edged pool, accessed through sliding glass doors – a perfect fusion of wood, water and light.
From your bedroom, down the foyer with a well-stocked gourmet bar cabinet, you first enter the dressing room. While often forgotten in the design of most houses, the dressing room allows you to sit in quiet reflection at the dressing table and gaze into the walled private garden. Step into the walk-in closet, where you can cover up with your choice of plush terrycloth robe or light organic cotton kimono.
Every house is outfitted with Wi-fi to keep you connected, while a Bose home theatre system and LCD satellite TV are the perfect addition to laid-back evenings at home. And if the lapping sounds of waves aren’t enough, create the perfect soundtrack with the in-room iPod and surround-sound stereo system.
