A beautiful ancestral home named Nahar Manzil stands facing the Puttalam Lagoon. Flanked on either side by two ornate, intricately designed towers that have served as a landmark in this unique landscape from time immemorial, Nahar Manzil has withstood the sun and the storms of 130 years. Built in the early 1880’s by an affluent gentleman of noble heritage, crafted and molded to an architectural style that paid homage to Chettinad, South India, this beautiful home has been with the same family for over six generations. Carefully renovated and refurbished over a sustained period in order to retain the original quality of its architecture, Monsoon Villa as it is now called, is open to guests, invited to enjoy the aesthetic beauty, comfort and privacy available within its spacious confines, resplendent with antique Dutch furniture, as well as a number of modern amenities that include a state-of-the-art pool.
