Nestled amidst the lush expanse of a 12-acre cinnamon plantation in southern Sri Lanka, Trebartha East is a contemporary sanctuary that perfectly blends modern luxury, sustainable design and deep-rooted cultural heritage.
The property’s design, created by the visionary Dr. Narein Perera, incorporates a striking circular structure made from locally sourced timber. A seamless fusion of contemporary style and traditional Sri Lankan craftsmanship incorporates rich materials such as metal and stone. A sweeping infinity pool lets guests enjoy uninterrupted views of the surrounding rice paddies and tropical jungle.
Trebartha East’s accommodations are as unique as the property itself. The four rooms, Kumbuk, Jak, Hora, and Teak, are housed in spacious, light-filled quarters that offer panoramic views of the plantation and beyond. Each room boasts floor-to-ceiling windows, custom-made furnishings crafted by local artisans, and ensuite bathrooms with rainfall showers, creating an atmosphere of understated luxury.
Through immersive tours of the plantation, guests can learn about the region’s rich agricultural traditions, including the cultivation of cinnamon. The estate supports local employment, providing fair wages and encouraging sustainable practices in the surrounding community.
Dining is an indulgence in Sri Lankan flavours, with locally sourced ingredients forming the basis of each dish and farm-to-table menus celebrating the island’s rich food culture. Guests can savour traditional Sri Lankan dishes alongside international options, all served with an emphasis on quality and authenticity.
Trebartha East’s location is ideal for exploring the local area. Just minutes from the coastal town of Ahangama, guests can easily access pristine beaches, vibrant surf breaks, and the town’s café culture. A short drive also takes visitors to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Galle Fort’s cobbled streets, boutique shops, and local eateries.
