Saffron House
Saffon House is a spectacular headland property with elevated ocean views, coolyear-round breezes offering stunning ocean views from the terraces. Conveniently located on the Galle side of Weligama – one of Sri Lanka’s best surfing bays, especially suitable for beginners & intermediate surfers – with a very family friendly vibe & fabulous cafes and restaurants. Saffron House is part of the on houses collection of 3 identical houses that can be rented together or separately. Each has 5 bedroom suites & are environment friendly having been carefully designed to respect the topography and landscape of the sloping site by use of a stepped design. The cross-section and orientation of the houses maximize the natural ventilation from sea breezes to cool the living spaces. The private pools cool the sea breeze as it passes over the water in turn cooling the lower terraces of the house. Hot water is heated from solar collectors. Saffron House has views out to sea from all levels. As you enter the polished hall the infinity edge pool is on the right. Ocean views are visible. From this level are stairs down to the yoga studio & outside dining. Up the stairs past the kitchen leads to the sitting room & covered dining space. In front of here again with uninterrupted ocean views is the teak timber deck from which guests can jump into the pool. Two of the five bedrooms are on this level & come with private terraces. The other 3 bedrooms are on the next level & share a terrace. All bedrooms have ceiling fans as well as air-conditioning & all the beds are fitted with mosquito nets. From this level there are stairs leading to the roof terrace with comfortable seating & a small bar area. Right in front of property is the idyllic ‘Jungle Beach’, convenient for snorkelling & intermediate surfing, or just swimming & hanging out on a beautiful sandy beach in the tropics.

Reviews
Fran Riding - Oct 12,2024
Paradise! I would rate it higher if I could - it is a wonderful place. The rooms are spacious, very clean and beautifully decorated. The property is ideal for relaxing in a very tranquil setting. What makes the place exceptional is however the host family - Chris, Geraldine and their extended family are amazing. They are friendly and welcoming, their food is delicious and they couldn’t do enough for us to ensure we had a good stay. Saffron House was by far the highlight of our 2.5 week trip - and we’d have stayed longer if we could. Highly recommend this place, you will not be disappointed.

The Saffron house was a dream stay for our family. An unbelievable setting with a beautiful view over the ocean. Fantastic breakfast and dinner (western and Sri Lankan options) cooked by Chris and family. The rooms are immaculate, spacious and cool. Great showers, comfy beds, lovely hangout zone outside and the pool is the best we experienced in Sri Lanka, for both the vista and temperature. Hiriketiya beach is a 5 min walk away, good surf and low key eateries right on the water (and no sandflies!)Our favourite place we stayed at in Sri Lanka, we loved it and dream of going back.

The Saffron House is one of the most wonderful places I have ever stayed. The rooms are huge, the beds super comfortable, I love that the bathrooms are partially open to the sky. The team looking after us were so lovely, with no attention to detail spared. And completely delicious food. The view is fabulous and the pool lovely. The house sits at the top of the headland between Hiriketiya beach and Dikwella beach (both 5 mins by foot) so is very private and quiet. We will return!

I stayed at the Safron House during my honeymoon. It couldn’t have been more perfect for us, such a beautiful place and it is incredibly well situated with an amazing view of the coast. The staff are so friendly and cooked the most delicious food. I can’t recommend more highly.

We stayed at The Saffron House on our honeymoon in January 2024. It is of the nicest places I've ever stayed. The house, the food, the pool and the views are incredible. It is a magical place to stay. It's calm, quiet and tranquil and is only a few minutes walk from all the fun, surfing, coffee shops, restaurants and bars in Hiriketiya. I would highly recommend The Saffron House.
