Where you’ll be

Habarana, North Central Province, Sri Lanka

Palugaswewa is a small farming village surrounded with paddy fields, reservoirs and jungles. Located next to Habarana town, which is about 10 mins tuk tuk ride away.
Very peaceful and tranquil environment with a lot of nature and fresh air. Once you walk into neighbourhood, you will find yourself only non local. You can enjoy true local experience by meeting friendly Sri Lankan in Palugaswewa.
Bissa Villa can still be reached by public transport (bus or train) quite easily.
You can spot various wild animals and birds visiting our garden frequently (such as a family of peacocks) during your stay. There are a variety of fruits, vegetables and spices naturally grown in our garden and they are all used in our meal. When it's in season, you can enjoy fresh and tasty mangoes and coconuts. We offer best home made Sri Lankan meal freshly cooked in our kitchen, which can't be tasted in a normal restaurant outside.
