Villa Privée Élégante dans le Fort de Galle

Carefully restored, the villa features modern amenities while retaining its original charm. Guests can enjoy a 4.5-foot (1.37-meter) deep swimming pool, a pool table, an entertainment lounge with bar counter, patio seating, and indoor and outdoor dining areas. The pantry is stocked with tea and coffee and includes a French press. Unlimited Wi-Fi is available, and laundry service can be arranged for an additional fee. Breakfast is included and can be served in the villa or at Fort Bazaar. The villa does not hold a liquor license; however, guests may bring their own alcohol without incurring a corkage fee. Smoking is strictly prohibited inside bedrooms and indoor living areas, but is permitted in designated outdoor spaces.

The residence is located on Lighthouse Street, right in the heart of the historic Galle Fort. Museums, landmarks, boutiques, cafés, and shops are all within easy walking distance. The nearby coastline provides opportunities for swimming, surfing, diving, and deep-sea cruises for whale and dolphin watching.
