The Villa
The Award Winning - Meda Gedara
As soon as you step through the antique temple doors, the attention to detail is immediately obvious. From the stunning tiles, magnificent teak staircase, vast windows and extraordinary etched mirror through to the delightful elephant mural which encompasses the villa motif, the energy in the villa is remarkable.
Meda Gedara is a haven of calm sophistication, each step unveiling more original artworks, antique furniture and breathtaking views down through the tropical, landscaped gardens and over the split level pools to the turquoise ocean beyond.
Fiona first came to Sri Lanka in 2012 and fell in love with the island straight away. Their great friend Sebastian took them along the coast road to see some land he was selling near Dikwella. Bumping along a dirt track, they pulled up at a derelict bungalow; looking down through the jungle to the turquoise sea Fiona and her husband were in awe. Before their holiday was over they had already set the plans in motion to make that patch of paradise their own.
The land has now been transformed into the breathtaking colonial villa, that is Meda Gedara. Boasting 7 bedrooms, sculpted tropical gardens, a yoga shala and two swimming pools.
Fiona threw herself into designing every single aspect of the project and taking meticulous care in such fine detail such as the shape of the staircase, the style of the balustrades, the height of the lights and even the direction of the floorboards.
Meda Gedara must be the most hidden gem in Sri Lanka. This place really is like nowhere else. A sophisticated, spacious villa which sits elevated among landscaped gardens, tropical plants over looking layers of swimming pools and tall shady palms down to the picture perfect, unspoiled coastline. The architecture and interior fuses British luxury with intricate local craftsmanship. The sound of rolling waves on the beach, gentle breeze through the palms and the most magical of sunsets makes Meda Gedara a special and unique paradise.
