Mount Cinnamon is a luxury villa situated at the summit of the plantation, with extensive 360^o views to sea over Weligama Bay and also in-land to the Denipitiya Hills. From sunrise to sunset it captures the changing light and moods of the landscape.

The house has been designed by C. Anjalendran, one of Sri Lanka's foremost living architects, and is a pure and elegant essay in the island's vernacular. It is designed for the tropical climate: to be very comfortable, but without ostentation or alien touches. Floating like a "fortress in the sky" it commands the site but is also very respectful of its surroundings.

There are three double bedrooms and one single bedroom that can sleep two. All bedrooms are air-conditioned and have fans. The beds are dressed with specially-woven "cinnamon" fabric. They are both cool and serene. Each has en suite showers and toilets.

There are three sitting areas: on the long sea-facing terrace outside; an interior, informal area ideal for pre-dinner drinks; and a comfy drawing room.

A magnificent sculpted screen divides the drawing room from the dining room, which at night is always candle-lit. Outside, there is a breakfast terrace which can, of course, be used at any time of the day.

The house has an extra kitchen which you can use should you wish to experiment with local produce, knock up something simple or prepare food for the baby. Within the courtyard a swimming pool provides a refreshing way to begin or end the day.
