Galle Villa

Pure Escapism from Architect Bruce Fell-Smith

This amazingly secluded beach front location made us a little envious. Relaxed luxuries, understated elegance and natural tropical inspiration all come together here for pure escapism.

Designed by Australian architect Bruce Fell-Smith, this villa set along the southern tip of the island within steps to the sand, is a smartly conceived resort-style villa that's long on luxury but without the stuffy pretense. Facing the beach in relative seclusion, the property is expansive and private with lush grounds, jungle and shoreline and is ideal for groups or families looking for their own slice of paradise. Modeled after some of the original colonial architecture found in nearby Galle, the villa combines tropical open-air living with tasteful, traditional design. 

The main pavilion features soaring ceilings and a relaxing lounge looking out to sea, with traditional Sri Lankan and Asian influences along with relaxed contemporary style. Well appointed and modern, the design also celebrates the natural beauty of the island with a casual indoor-outdoor flow throughout.        

The villas has four complete suites, each feature en-suite baths (two with outdoor tropical baths), private entrances and spectacular views of the ocean and gardens. Each of the master suites is situated at opposite ends of the property for maximum privacy.  

Your private in-house chef and staff serve fresh choices of international and local cuisine and you can join him to shop and select your day's catch and menu or cook on your own if you'd like. Dinner is served al fresco. 

Offering the comforts, convenience and service of luxury hotel-like amenities and service, you'll feel pampered and at home in your own retreat.
