Lying on the popular Madiha village in the south coast of Sri Lanka, rated as one of the world’s best beaches, is a 90-year-old colonial house that has today been superbly converted into a high-class and contemporary villa. Meet Stella Antique Villa, a 5-bedroom property for 10 guests with beige-colored facade and white pillars, matched by wooden doors and window frames and brick-style roofing. The tropical and classic vibe is further accentuated by swaying palm trees and local lush greens surrounding its outdoors, as well as tasteful furniture pieces and decor by local artisans with cream yellow walls for its indoors. Amenities include a swimming pool and indoor entertainment system that makes this home a masterpiece, with memories of colonial times imbued with touches of modernity.
With 5 gorgeous bedrooms to boot, they can sleep 10 guests maximum. Out of these, 4 are double bedrooms and the last being the children’s bedroom. Air-conditioning and ensuite bathrooms are provided in all 5 rooms and the vibe that each room projects is an exquisite blend of what’s classic with local elements of materials used and what’s decidedly modern with clean and sleek lines in its design.
The outdoors consist of a 18metre swimming pool with its alluring turquoise waters, which also has a 5m X 3m shallow end for kids. A pool fence is also available to ensure safety of the young. Surrounding this pool area are 6 sun loungers and 3 sun umbrellas for guests to lounge around with drinks or books while taking in the cool and sunny environment all around.
The interiors are homey and cosy with stylish and minimalist local wooden furnishings and items as well as traditional-styled floor tiling that lends authenticity and so much personality to the home’s olden-day architecture. There is a fully-equipped kitchen at guests’ disposal, while little servings of modernity are found in its smart television, bluetooth sound system and high-speed Wifi connection for guests’ entertainment and social media or communication needs.
Guests can be assured of the best hospitality and services provided by the team managing Stella Antique Villa whether it is to attend to some of your daily needs, or for special requests like massage or spa treatments and other occasions including local tours’ planning and bookings, or bigger events like wedding receptions.
Stella Antique Villa is located on the Galle-Matara Road, which is about 155km from capital Colombo. Nestled on the popular Madiha village in south coast of Sri Lanka, this unique beach location affords guests complete peace and tranquillity as well as some of the best sunsets and all-year-round beachside activities as it is set off the main road.

10/10Amit, is a very gracious host who helped us with everything from local tips, to arranging things on a near drop of a hat. from start to the end! The villa is spacious, well appointed and generously stocked with local fruits and coffee, pool is amazing and there are many nice restaurants and beaches within a short walk.
