Why House. Mihiripenna, Sri Lanka

Why House description

Why House is a stunning, family-orientated boutique villa hotel near Galle with eight double ensuite bedrooms enveloped by a lushly landscaped three-acre garden.

Located minutes from pristine beaches, a stay at this elegant country house amidst rural rice fields blends luxury with informality. Rooms brim with creature comforts while a dedicated team of staff led by experienced western management promises a level of personalised service unmatched on the south coast. Coupled with an excellent in-house restaurant and large pool, Why House is your home-from-home in Sri Lanka.

You can be sure of a warm welcome at Why House. The experienced staff, overseen by an English manager with 30 years international experience in the hospitality industry, is dedicated to providing guests with the best bespoke service possible. All personal requests are undertaken, no matter how large or small.

The dedicated head chef presides over a small kitchen team with one of the biggest reputations on the south coast. Whether you're in the mood for Sri Lankan, Western or Asian cuisine, the gourmet in-house restaurant will not disappoint. All of the dishes on our menu are prepared from the best locally sourced ingredients and served to our breezy open-sided dining pavilion or privately to your room veranda if you prefer.

Why House sleeps a maximum of 20 guests in eight double ensuite rooms with private garden- or pool-view terraces. Each individually designed room comes with air conditioning, satellite TV, free Wi-Fi, mini fridge and a luxurious ensuite bathroom. Individual rooms, or the Main House and Garden House in their entirety, can be booked independently, or the whole property taken on an exclusive basis.

Main house (sleeps 4+4+3)
Our two split king Main House Suites are incredibly spacious, having an anteroom, which can accommodate two single beds. This works well for families as the children are in your room but not in your bedroom. There is no charge for infants or the cots we provide. The third bedroom in the Main House is a double with wheelchair access.

Cabanas (sleeps 2 each)
Our two romantic cabanas are a favorite with couples and honeymooners. Set amidst our lush lower garden overlooking rice fields, each of our cabanas is made up of two hexagonal buildings - one housing the bedroom, with a split king bed, and the second, accessed via a three-meter covered walkway, a private bathroom.

Garden House (sleeps 4+3+2)
We have three spacious rooms in the Garden House. One of these has a split king bed and can accommodate two adults and two children, whilst the second can sleep two adults and one child. The third room is a mezzanine, and sleeps up to four guests; two on the ground floor in a double and two upstairs in twin beds.
