The Green Cottage is a calm, single-storey tropical retreat on a sweeping plot in Awlegama, an escape from urban life where traditional tropical simplicity meets a refreshing mini swimming pool and private gardens.

Simple, Serene Tropical Living

The Green Cottage keeps things beautifully simple. A single-storey layout and traditional tropical aesthetics create a calm, uncluttered home that feels like a permanent holiday from the pace of city life.

Comfortable Everyday Spaces

Inviting living and dining areas, a modern-yet-simple pantry and comfortable bedrooms all open toward the greenery, making the most of the peaceful rural setting and abundant natural light.

A Pool and Gardens to Unwind

A mini swimming pool and generous private gardens turn the outdoors into the heart of the home, the perfect place to cool off, relax and reconnect with nature.
