Hailed as a little paradise on earth, Kalukanda House is a luxurious, stylish villa that is situated in the beautiful fishing town of Weligama. The idyllic villa is a result of a Dee Gibson’s unwavering love for the serene lodge. For those who wish to spend time away from the hustle and bustle lifestyle, Kalukanda House is the ideal getaway to indulge in a luxurious experience. Opening their doors in 2018, the family-run privately owned boutique hotel has entertained a vast range of guests from all over the world, from TV writers taking abode while overseeing filming on set to art directors conducting photo shoots for magazines, and families who are keen on exploring Weligama.
Dedicated to the vision of sustainability, the structure of the villa from its roof to doors and windows are built from re-used materials. Gibson ensures that the property is designed for “those who love luxury, want adventure and immersive experiences, and who are keen to interact at a human level with a country and its people.” She has successfully refined the land set within the tropical grounds and flora and fauna to its full vibrant potential. Reflecting the identity of Sri Lanka, all furniture in the villa were made by local craftsmen.

Continuing their journey to introduce the sarong to the world, Lovi Ceylon launched their new collection to much acclaim at TexWorld Paris during the Paris Fashion Week. While in Paris the Lovi Ceylon show was witnessed by Jean-Paul Donald-Potard a childhood friend of Jean Paul Gaultier who joined forces with the iconic designer to set up a global fashion empire. Jean-Paul Donald-Potard was so taken with the silhouette of the sarong and Lovi Ceylon Founder, Asanka De Mel’s vision, that a visit to Sri Lanka to explore a possible collaboration between the two is on the cards. Asanka De Mel is dogged in his determination to make the sarong an outfit of choice for not only Sri Lankans but for gentlemen around the world. By showcasing his collection in Paris, Lovi Ceylon is one step closer in their journey to global domination.
