Long before the Galle Fort was universally acknowledged as a national treasure, there were some properties within these storied ramparts that were special enough to spark the imagination and birth a vision. This villa in Galle Fort is one such catalyst, the first to be bought by a foreigner in the post-colonial era and one of the very first to be styled and restored into the sort of intimate, luxurious villa that Sri Lanka’s most discerning travellers have come to expect from hotels in Galle Fort. As a one of the most recently restored by Villa, this exotic location is an elegant combination of colonial charm and modern amenities. The villa is in Rampart Street, Galle fort. Enjoy authentic Sri Lankan hospitality in an old merchant’s bungalow, only at this Villa in Rampart Street.

Galle fort villa Location & Beach

The Rampart street Villa in Galle fort is ocean-facing and sits within the coral-and-lime walls of 17th-century World Heritage Site, Galle Fort, opposite its wider grassy western ramparts – a popular spot with kite fliers and cricketers. You can either spend the day swimming or as many spend most of their time exploring the fort’s heritage sites, and popping into boutiques and cafés, the choice is yours.

None of the fort’s colonial-era landmarks, Dutch Church (400 m), museums, boutiques, restaurants, and ramparts – all of which – are more than a five to 10-minute wander away. Galle’s international test cricket ground is less than 750 metres away, and the busy main town – for buses, supermarkets, and trains –  is just a hop, step, and jump!

• Bandaranaike International Airport to the villa would take about 2.15 hours.
• Unawatuna Beach is about 10 mins by tuk tuk.

Immerse yourself in the plush comforts of our rooms, each with its own unique personality, only further accentuated by perfect views, be it garden, ocean or the pool, and intricate art pieces that decorate each bare space.

LATEST REVIEWS

“Fabulous boutique luxury in the heart of Galle Fort” – Date of stay: January 2020

“It is a gorgeous house with a colonial feel, great art on the walls, and spotlessly clean. The staff is just lovely. Friendly and professional, and keen to offer any help and advice, or just to let you get on with it. The modest pool was a godsend, as Galle was very hot on our visit. We have been a number of times, however never stayed at a villa with a pool – and now I would say that it is a pre-requisite (for us).

The food was great – a good selection of classic dishes, both Sri Lankan and international, and served with pride. Very tasty, good size portions and nice dining space. Unusually for us, we did make use of the communal lounge area, watch a couple of films – and that was fun, as we almost felt like we were residents of Galle ! So, all in, we 100% recommend the hotel !!”

“The perfect end to our honeymoon!” – Date of stay: January 2020

“Wow this Villa is amazing and the hospitality is even better. Set right in the fort the location is ideal for exploring Galle however this place is so lovely you may not want to!! The staff is incredible and the food is lovely. The setting is a beautiful old Dutch house with a gorgeous outdoor pool with sun and shade. The rooms I mean wow the best room I’ve ever stayed in with the most amazing bath. It was our last night of honeymoon and I only wish we stayed here longer. Gorgeous room and people. The villa itself is a galle experience – the architecture, the artwork it’s all breathtaking. I could of sat there for years reading- they have tons of books on Sri Lanka and Galle. Couldn’t recommend more. They also give you amazing homemade ice lolly by the pool! Such lovely little touches.”

“Excellent, you must stay here!” – Date of stay: November 2019

“This is an absolute gem of a hotel in the beautiful Galle Fort. 4 rooms, it’s an old colonial house now turned boutique hotel. The staff are fantastic, excellent service, nothing is too much trouble. All meals are whenever you want them, and whatever you’d like – top service hospitality, equal to a 5-star hotel. The only two niggles: the sheer volume of mosquitos was incredible, but little the hotel can do about this! Mosquito net over the beautiful 4 poster bed, but didn’t stop the little wotsits getting in. Secondly, the bathroom for room #2 is only accessible from the balcony, not directly from the room – so you really need to assess whether that middle of the night wee is worth going outside with the mozzies! Excellent hotel, highly recommend!”
