I work as a CEO in the Apparel & Textile Industry. My passion for travel has taken me and my family to many places around the world and our plan is to continue to travel to uncover all the other treasures the world has in store. In our travels we experienced the good, the bad, and the ugly in terms of accommodation and service, and came to appreciate staying in good locations, having clean, comfortable rooms and good service that help make our holidays that much better. My passion for travel, meeting people from different cultures, appreciation of travellers’ needs and keeping myself occupied in retirement made me think of starting a business of boutique villas that offer everything I look forward to when we travel. I enrolled for a MBA at the Glion Institute of Higher Education in Switzerland to learn the fundamentals of the industry and through this developed a business plan. Thereafter having understood that the three most important aspects of a villa are location, location and location, I set about looking for a property. Welcome to The Aluthgama House, which is the first of three projects that I have planned…
The Aluthgama House is located in the town of Aluthgama, which is a coastal town in the Kalutara District (Western Province) of Sri Lanka. It is located approximately 63.5 kilometres south of Colombo and 68 kilometres north of Galle. Travel time from the Bandaranayake International Airport is approximately 95 minutes (106km) via the new highway network. Aluthgama is situated on the southern bank of the Bentota Ganga (River) mouth. River Bentara, the legendary river at Bentota, flows into the Indian Ocean, forming a lagoon at the last section of the river. The River Bentara and the lagoon are home to the widest array of water sports among all the beach resorts of Sri Lanka. Jet-skiing, windsurfing, parasailing, or enjoying a romantic river safari along the clam waters are some of the activities that are most popular in the area.
