AGNUS Luxury Villa, in Unawatuna is located on top of the picturesque Rumassala mountain, located 2 Kilometres from Galle. Rumassala (රූමස්සල) known to colonialists as Buona Vista ’ (a spin off the Spanish buena vista), or ‘pleasant view’, thanks to the breath-taking panorama that stretches from the Indian ocean to the far inland , is the subject of many legends.

Rumassala is also featured in the Hindu epic Ramayana written by Valmiki. According to the Ramayana the Monkey-warrior Hanuman was sent back to India to fetch the four medicinal herbs, Mritasanjeevani, Vishalyakarani, Suvarnakarani and Sandhani from Himalaya in mountains to heal Lakshman who was wounded in his great battle with Ravana to save the abducted Princess Sita as he failed to identify the herbs he uprooted the mount and ferried it to the battlefield and a chunk of that “fell-down” forming the Rumassala Hillock, and the name of the village derived from Unawatuna, Unna-watuna (උණවටුන) meaning “fell down” (ඔන්න වැටුණු).

The British Sci Fiction writer Sir Arthur C Clarke stated that due to the rare magnetic properties of Rumassala, that satellites cannot be placed directly above the mountain. He attributed this to a meteor strike. The different flora and fauna found in Rumassala (රූමස්සල), only adds to the Mystery of the beautiful Rumassala.
