"I'm making a photo book right now of our holiday pictures. We had a wonderful time in the tropical beach house! We liked the house, the services and the garden a lot. We had such a pleasant time in your house and that's what we will tell our friends!" BL 2013

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and loved Hikkaduwa. The beach house apartment was great with beautiful views, and the location was perfect. Overall, we loved the beach house and Mahinda and Chandana were really helpful. We would definitely stay again and are actually thinking of coming again in April." TD Dec 12

Description
The Tropical Beach House at Hikkaduwa provides you with a very comfortable base from where you can enjoy everything that the area has to offer, such as surfing, diving, snorkelling, fishing or just basking on the beach in Sri Lankan sunshine.

For the duration of your holiday in Hikkaduwa, the villa's staff will be on hand to clean as often as you wish and attend to your every need. They will happily arrange local tours, Ayurvedic massages, diving trips, BBQs, meals to be prepared and anything else you can suggest.

The Tropical Beach House can accommodate a party of up to 8 people in 4 bedrooms (with 3 double beds and 2 twin beds). Bed linen and towels are provided and there is a cot if necessary. WiFi internet access is available throughout the beach house complex.

The ground floor of the Tropical Beach House, has two air-conditioned en-suite bedrooms - one king-size double and one with twin beds - a dining room and a fully-appointed kitchen. In front of the beach house is a private beachfront garden, a very large shaded veranda and an outdoor plunge pool for when you fancy a cooling break from the tropical heat.

The whole upper floor of the Tropical Beach House is a self-contained studio apartment, featuring beautiful direct ocean views through large sliding glass doors, which lead out onto a large shaded balcony.

The Ten Most Lovely Beautiful Buildings in the World

Bongsong · 10 months ago

As much as I love "top ten" lists, and enjoy creating them; I realize that virtually no one is likely to totally agree with my choices, nor the order in which I have listed them. My choices are unavoidably subjective to some degree, but I like to think they are also both knowledgeable and reflective of at least a modicum of good taste. In listing the ten most beautiful buildings in the world, I have screened out those structures which, though once quite beautiful (such as the Parthenon in Athens), but which now lie in ruins. I've also not considered architectural/engineering structures, build entirely for show (such as the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty, or St. Louis' Gateway Arch. Beyond that, I've also not considered buildings that, while they may be architecturally daring, perhaps even pointing the way toward the future in architecture, are at this point problematical, and in some cases even downright ugly (here I'm not going to cite examples). The buildings I've selected, without exception, serve a purpose. They were built to house human activities. Only two are more than a hundred years old. If that shows a bias for the contemporary over the classical, then so be it. The same applies to the fact that two of my choices are works by the same architect. I've already written about several of the buildings listed so I've created links to them so as not to be redundant. I'm hoping some of my choices may be surprising, thus bringing to light some very beautiful creations which thus far may have slipped beneath the architectural radar (so to speak). By the same token, I've no doubt left out some excellent possibilities with which the reader may take issue. If so, by all means make your feelings known in the comments section at the bottom.
