Down south Sri Lankan culture has its unique form of hospitality. Influenced by the Theravada Buddhism and the traditional value system of fishing and farming culture. Culture Resort is in Polhena, which is a traditional fishing and farming hamlet, in Matara. In farming culture, food is often offered as a way of showing respect and connectedness. Whereas, the fishing cultural value system represents the notion that ” you better enjoy your life here and now”. This attitude towards life may be due to the nature of their fishing livelihood which is highly dependent on luck and inherently risky, contrast to the farming culture.

Immerse yourself in authentic Sri Lankan hospitality, traditions, and experiences that reflect the island’s vibrant soul and heritage.
Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Indian Ocean while immersing yourself in the timeless architectural philosophy of world-renowned Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa.
Bawa believed that architecture should exist in harmony with nature. His signature style embraced open courtyards, seamless indoor-outdoor transitions, and the use of natural materials such as stone, timber, and terracotta.
Continuing this legacy, our architect, Nandana Karunathilake, has beautifully woven Bawa’s unique concept into our design—creating not just a building, but a living space that blends nature, comfort, and artistry.
We will always look after you as a respected person of our own clan, that is Down-south Sri Lankan hospitality.
