Villa 238 Dutch Bay is a gorgeous and charming tropical townhouse sitting right on the beach in beautiful Dutch Bay on the east coast of Sri Lanka. Together with some other holiday homes, Villa 238 Dutch Bay is located in a peaceful residential area in Trincomalee. From the villa’s back terrace, you can access the beach directly and go swimming in the crystal clear turquoise sea. Such a little private beach paradise this villa is. A great place to sniff up some traditional Sri Lankan culture without giving up on modern conveniences.
This luxury beach townhouse has 3 air-conditioned bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king-size bed and the en-suite bathroom boasts dual washbasins and an indoor and alfresco shower overlooking the bay. The second bedroom is fitted with twin beds and the third bedroom is located upstairs. This cabana-style bedroom is fitted with a queen-size double bed and equipped with a 40-inch cable TV. Quality linens and towels are provided and toiletries are catered for, too.
The most amazing thing about Villa 238 Dutch Bay is that it offers direct beach access from the back terrace. The garden is a lovely tranquil and private place where you can swim in the swimming pool while inhaling the sea breeze and listening to the sound of the sea. The pool is equipped with fibre-optic lights for those who like to go swimming in the evening or enjoy an atmospheric evening outdoors under the stars. The back gate opens up to a terrace with sunbeds, overlooking the bay. This is a great spot for sunbathing and chilling out with some friends and cold drinks.
The cozy living room features a large, fully-equipped open kitchen and a dining table. There is a separate sofa TV room with a projector and screen for your entertainment. A library of 1000+ movies and TV shows is available. On top of that, Villa 238 has a Playstation 3 with plenty of games. The villa is furnished beautifully with teak and mahogany wood furniture.
You will be welcomed with heartwarming Sri Lankan hospitality at Villa 238 Dutch Bay. Housekeeping staff will come in to keep your holiday home spic and span and a delicious vegetarian Sri Lanka breakfast is included in the price. You can request for a private chef to prepare lunch and dinner as well (additional charges apply). The villa has free wifi and free-flow mineral water, coffee and tea.
Located on the beach in the pristine Dutch Bay, you won’t have to travel at all for a dip in the ocean. Wonderful! The area is peaceful and residential, allowing you to get a glimpse into the authentic Sri Lankan village life. At your private villa, you get to enjoy complete privacy and a great sense of seclusion while outside, authentic Sri Lanka awaits. A short TukTuk ride brings you to the bus and train station in Trincomalee. The air-conditioned grocery shop Food City is just 10 minutes away. Go see the historic Fort Frederick which contains the Koneswaram Hindu Temple and enjoy your time here by the seaside. Do note, the rainy season on the east coast of Sri Lanka is opposite to the south coast. The most rain is expected to fall in November and December.
10/10Great location, right on the beach with private access. It is a beautiful spot and the family enjoyed their daily swims and walks on the quiet (at this time of the year) beach and watching the fishing boats - we were lucky with excellent weather for this time of the year. The house was clean and well kept and the best equipped paid accomodation during our trip (e.g coffee, complimentary super delicious daily Tamil breakfasts accomodating our dietaries). We were grateful for the aircon in the bedrooms during the sticky / humidity of Thirukoneswaram (even in winter). The old style home has been beautifully preserved and enhanced with a flowing concept across the spaces. Plenty of room for a family of 5 adults. Kasthuri who caretakes the property is excellent - effective, efficient, warm and responsive. Great to see the hosts are working with the local Tamil community to help manage the property. The hosts also communicated well and proactive.
10/10This was our favourite place we stayed in Sri Lanka. It's much bigger than it looks in the photos. It has anything you need and more, with empty beach out front. I can't see how anyone would be disappointed staying here, I would happy live at this place forever.
10/10Me and my family loved the place. It’s beautiful like right out of the travel books. Peaceful, spacious rooms, clean with lot of activities. The caretaker and cooks were amazing and cooked some really delicious meals. The host Kian and Janah are great hosts. Kian helped us in getting additional accommodation for our guests at very economical price plus also recommended local activities. He went out of his way making sure we are comfortable. This was like home away from home. 10/10 we are coming back again soon to this heaven.
10/10Great spot! Very curated, the house has everything you’ll need
10/10Great communication with the owners as well as with Kasthuri who is very attentive. Tastefully renovated beach house. It is very nice and gives direct access to a splendid beach. We really enjoyed staying there.
10/10We had the absolute perfect stay, we couldn’t have dreamed of a better location to end our Sri Lanka trip. We will definitely come back.
10/10What a perfect way to end our Sri Lankan holiday. The house was perfect and we enjoyed our time here so much. The house is the perfect place to kick back and relax and watch the waves and the locals fish on the beach. Kian & Janah were so helpful from start to finish and Kasthuri was a joy to see every morning when she made us breakfast. We also enjoyed some very tasty dinners. Cannot recommend this place enough and we hope to return again soon! Thanks again Sam & Mark
10/10A great place in an authentic, non-touristy part of Trinco. The back gate opens right onto a lovely beach where the fishermen bring in their catch every morning. Quiet little street out front yet pretty close to the main shopping area. Nearby fish market is great fun in the early morning (we hired 3 scooters for a week from the guy up the road for getting around, but there are plenty of tuktuks nearby.) The apartment is spacious and well-equipped, and the cinema room and plunge pool were a big hit with our group. The breakfasts are very simple and a bit limited, and the room with two singles is a bit tight for two adults (kids probably wouldn’t notice), but apart from that it’s a great place for a group of 6 to get together for a few days. There’s a good, friendly curry house just down the road too and they also do takeaways. The apartment owners, though in Colombo at the time, were very friendly and helpful, and even organised a birthday cake for us. We had a great week. Would highly recommend.
10/10We had an exceptional stay with four adults and two kids. It’s a beautiful house with lots of space and direct access to the beach. It was clean, bright and had everything one could ask for. We much preferred this location in Dutch Bay to the more crowded and touristic Upuveli. Highly recommend to anyone looking for accommodation in Trinco!
