100-Acre Private Estate Bungalow & Nature Retreat

Escape to Don Padris Estate Bungalow, a private 4-bedroom heritage villa in Tangalle, Sri Lanka. Set on a 100-acre private estate, this spacious nature retreat is ideal for families and groups seeking a peaceful and authentic countryside experience.

You can enjoy an early morning surf at the Hiriketiya beach, explore the Tangalle coastline or go on a wildlife safari to the Udawalawe National Park before returning to your private estate to unwind on a rooftop deck overlooking the estate.

Built in the 1940s, the Don Padris Estate Bungalow has been thoughtfully preserved to retain its timeless character while offering comfort, space and privacy for meaningful connections. It is ideal for families, friends, nature lovers, bird watchers and travellers seeking a countryside escape in Southern Sri Lanka.

What makes Don Padris truly special is the land and setting around it. The estate spans 100 acres of private countryside with plantations including coconut, banana, mango, pineapple and ginger, a 20-acre paddy field, four waterbodies, a protected private forest home to an ancient Bo Tree and a mountain that deserves to be hiked.

There is even local folklore that this area was once used by Sri Lankan kings as a resting place while travelling through the region.

The estate also includes poultry and cattle that support organic cultivation, creating a self-sustaining agricultural ecosystem.

Whether you want to enjoy slow mornings on the porch, read in the library, relax in the hot tub, explore the estate, or spend time with family and friends, Don Padris offers a private estate experience that goes beyond a typical villa stay.

It is also well located for exploring some of the most loved attractions in Tangalle and the Southern Coast including Hiriketiya beach for surfing, Lunugamwehera National Park for bird watching, Udawalawe National Park for wildlife safaris and Mulgirigala Raja Maha Viharaya for cultural experiences.

At Don Padris, you don't just get a place to stay. Instead, you experience space, nature, heritage and an authentic Sri Lankan estate living.
