Katunayake Island

This island is ideal for individual use, development of private villas and possibly the construction of an ecotourism resort, with appropriate permits.

Island has good airport access and security of the area is 100%. Perhaps what’s most fascinating about this island is that it changes moods completely depending whether one is on the east or west side. The west side is covered lightly with deciduous woods. Crossing over to the east side, the island abruptly changes personality, opening into green grasses and swaying trees.

The island has a great deal of character and at least six possible locations suitable for building holiday villas, all with stunning views. It has the most breath taking natural landscape. It is in close proximity to the Katunayake runway, and can clearly view planes taking off and landing. The lagoon is so peaceful and you get many types of birds who nest on the Island.

The island deed is clean. The Island is composed of good hard soil, which is of buildable stature.

Its exactly 30 km from Colombo, Sri Lanka and a 5 minute boat ride. The road leading to the island is in decent condition. Locality is close to the Bandaranayake International Airport. Whoever acquires the Island must divest in an Eco-Friendly operation.

Ideally it is most suited for an Eco Friendly Resort or Hotel. For a private holiday home - the Next Best Thing to the Maldives. Ideally it is a very good Investment piece which will mature in the next couple of years with the Demand for Eco Friendly Resorts growing rapidly around the world
