SRI LANKA’S FINEST STAYS

One Group of Hotels

The One Group was created to bring together some of Sri Lanka’s most distinctive private villas and boutique stays. Every property is different by design, yet each shares the same commitment to exceptional architecture, genuine hospitality and experiences that reflect the character of the island.

The One Group Philosophy

A Collection of Distinctive Stays

The One Group brings together a considered collection of private villas, boutique residences and exceptional stays across Sri Lanka. Each property has its own setting, architecture and personality, yet all share the same focus on design, privacy and personalised hospitality. From beachfront estates and coastal villas to heritage residences and wilderness retreats, the collection is shaped for travellers seeking a more private way to experience the island.

The Six, Weligama

Set directly on the shores of Weligama Bay, The Six is a collection of contemporary beachfront villas where generous architecture, complete privacy and effortless hospitality come together. Designed for families, friends and exclusive gatherings, each villa combines expansive indoor and outdoor living with uninterrupted views across Sri Lanka's south coast.

Private pools, dedicated villa hosts and thoughtfully designed social spaces create an atmosphere that feels more like a private residence than a traditional resort. Whether spending quiet days by the ocean or gathering for long evenings over dinner, every stay is shaped around flexibility, comfort and complete privacy.

Just minutes from Weligama's renowned surf breaks, whale watching and the historic streets of Galle Fort, The Six places guests at the heart of Sri Lanka's southern coastline while offering the space and exclusivity to retreat from it whenever they choose.

Kirana, Bentota

Designed by acclaimed Sri Lankan architect Channa Daswatte, Kirana is a contemporary beachfront estate where architecture, landscape and the Indian Ocean exist in complete harmony. Open plan living spaces, natural materials and expansive terraces create a relaxed setting overlooking Bentota's coastline, while four ensuite bedrooms make it ideal for families and private gatherings.

Every stay is shaped around privacy, flexibility and thoughtful service, with a dedicated villa team, generous indoor and outdoor living spaces and direct access to the beach. The estate is available exclusively for one booking at a time, allowing guests complete freedom to enjoy the villa at their own pace. Whether spending long days by the infinity pool, exploring Bentota's waterways and gardens or simply unwinding beside the ocean, Kirana offers one of Sri Lanka's most refined private villa experiences. Its position also places guests within easy reach of Lunuganga, Brief Garden and Bentota's river experiences, making it an ideal base for exploring Sri Lanka's south west coast.

No. 77 Leyn Baan

Set within the UNESCO listed streets of Galle Fort, No. 77 Leyn Baan combines contemporary design with one of Sri Lanka's most historic settings. Individually designed suites, curated interiors and intimate social spaces create an atmosphere that feels more like a private residence than a traditional boutique hotel. Thoughtfully restored heritage architecture sits comfortably alongside modern comforts, giving the property a distinctive sense of place without losing its contemporary character.

Guests are perfectly placed to explore the fort's galleries, cafés and centuries of colonial architecture, before returning to the calm of the property's secluded courtyards and swimming pool. The Indian Ocean, Unawatuna and the wider southern coastline are all within easy reach, making it an ideal base for both cultural discovery and relaxed beach days. Whether staying for a weekend or as part of a longer journey through Sri Lanka, No. 77 Leyn Baan offers one of Galle Fort's most considered boutique addresses.

Sol House, Mirissa

Spacious suites, open social spaces and uninterrupted ocean views create an easy rhythm, making it equally suited to families, friends and exclusive gatherings. Contemporary design and genuine Sri Lankan hospitality combine to deliver a stay that feels both private and refreshingly informal.

From sunrise walks along the beach to afternoons by the pool and evenings watching the Indian Ocean, life here naturally follows the pace of the coast. Guests are within easy reach of Mirissa's renowned whale watching, surfing beaches and the historic city of Galle, while Sol House itself remains a peaceful place to return to after a day exploring Sri Lanka's southern shoreline. Its position also makes Sol House an ideal base for discovering the quieter beaches, coastal villages and natural highlights that define Sri Lanka's southern coast.

Kotiyagala, Yala

Bordering the wilderness of Yala, Kotiyagala is a contemporary private retreat where architecture and nature exist in quiet balance. Expansive living spaces, handcrafted interiors and panoramic views across the Indian Ocean create a sense of complete seclusion, while attentive service ensures every stay unfolds at an unhurried pace. Designed for families, friends and exclusive gatherings, the villa offers privacy without ever feeling disconnected from the natural world.

Game drives into Yala National Park, one of Asia's finest wildlife reserves, are complemented by slower moments back at the villa, whether beside the infinity pool, enjoying dinner beneath the stars or simply watching wildlife move through the surrounding bush. Away from the crowds and close to one of Sri Lanka's greatest natural landscapes, Kotiyagala offers an exceptional base for experiencing the island's southern wilderness.
