Dalip House, Galle
Swimming pool   Water sports   Beach access   DVD library   Child friendly  
Location
Situated just 11km from Galle is Dalip House, a five bed roomed beach villa with a wide beach frontage. Here, you are close enough to enjoy the sites, shopping and social scene of Galle, yet far enough away to escape and be by yourselves when you want. The journey from Colombo’s international airport is approximately 3.5 hours.
Introduction
A newly built villa with a Balinese influence. Polished stone flooring encourages cool bare foot living. Timber ceilings and shutters channel the view out over the garden towards the Indian Ocean and a wide beach frontage. The beach itself is huge and devoid of basting tourists. The waves are challenging and to be shown respect. Fishermen perch on their stilts just to the right of the private beach gate. Dalip House can accommodate 6 adults and 4 children.

Accommodation
Dalip House has three double rooms each in separate pavilions and is located at the front of the villa allowing you to gaze out to sea whilst still in bed. There is a children’s pavilion with a twin room, single room and small sitting area. All doubles have an ensuite bathroom with h/w shower. The children's wing shares a bathroom with shower.
Facilities
A separate pavilion centrally located with huge 'lie around' seating, gives fabulous views across the garden out to sea. Dining is in the open sided pavilion located by the pool. A fully modern kitchen is the domain of Nuwan the Chef. Recently returned from the UK where he was seconded to specialist caterers, will prepare feasts upon request. There is also a senior houseboy, plus 2 others and a cleaner. A night watchman and gardener make up the full compliment.
Excursions
Koggala Lake with its many islands inhabited with several species of birds, is another wonderful experience. Visit to the historic 17th century Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with narrow streets lined with Dutch and British colonial era buildings which are still in use, sturdy ramparts looking out to sea, the lighthouse, and a growing collection of art galleries and several boutique hotels. There are several temples in the area that are well worth a relaxed visit. For the more sporting, scuba diving can be easily arranged - either for a PADI course or for the qualified there are several good wreck and reef dives nearby. Unawatuna and Mirissa offer several other watersports including sailing, fishing, coastal cruises, river trips, sea kayaking, snorkeling and boating. The game reserve of Yala is, with an early start, a 3-4 hour drive away.
