Media Reviews
"If one auspicious day my stars are aligned in all the right ways then maybe I’ll win the lottery. Should that day ever come, the first thing I am going to put my newfound wealth into…..is my own personal villa complete with private beach on the south-west coast. It will not be ostentatious or pompous. Indeed from the road you wouldn’t even be able to tell that anything special nestles behind the tall walls. It would have its own swimming pool should the sea be rough, and inside would be decked out with a marriage of traditional and contemporary "

South Point Villa, Kathaluwa
Price Guide: £££££
Location
South Point is an impressive south coast villa, situated by the beachside in the fishing hamlet of Kathaluwa near Galle. The garden steps out directly onto a stretch of white sandy beach that is safe for children. The sea at this point, with its beautiful coral formations, provides relatively safe swimming, snorkelling and diving. The journey to South Point Villa from Colombo’s International Airport will take approximately four hours - or take the Air Taxi and fly to Koggala, which is a five-minute drive away from the villa. The historic Galle Dutch Fort is only a 15 minutes drive. Unawatuna beach, Weligama & Mirissa as well as Koggala Lake are also nearby.
Introduction
South Point Villa is a modern villa with smart and stylish interiors. The hospitality here resembles a typical Sri Lankan home – caring, warm and gentle with your comfort and needs always a priority. For families travelling with children, a nanny can be organised. The idyllic location of this villa, just a few feet away from the beach, lends itself naturally for a perfect beach holiday. Relax on the lawn with a good book, have an afternoon siesta in the shade of some mangroves, or dine by candlelight on the wooden-decked terrace. The picture-postcard views, including stilt fisherman on the distant horizon, make this place inspirational for artists and writers alike. The owners also have a neighbouring property, called South Point Abbey, which is a colonial beach house. A connecting door gives direct access making the two properties ideal for two families travelling together.

Accommodation
The three large a/c bedrooms have inviting four-poster beds with overhead canopies fitted tastefully with mosquito nets. The master bedroom has two four-poster beds with a direct sea view. An antique Almairah, a bureau to do your writing, satellite TV, DVD player, internet access, are all part of the luxurious facilties in each of the bedrooms. Teak and Asian oak floors adds to the warmth of this house. All the rooms have ensuite bathrooms with ‘his and her’ washbasins, hot/w showers and a range of herbal soaps.
Facilities
The main living area includes a combined sitting and dining room, tastefully furnished with an Indonesian flourish, and a wooden-decked terrace that provides for wonderful alfresco meals. There is a freshwater swimming pool in a side garden with its own ‘Jacuzzi bench’ at one end with views of the sea, perfect for the blood-red sunsets. The grassed frontage is ideal for sunbathing and snoozing. Western dishes and Sri Lakan rice and curries using locally available ingredients are served. Fresh seafood dishes prepared from the catch of the day are a speciality. If you wish to do your own cooking, there is a well-equipped modern kitchen with the in-house chef giving you a helping hand. The villa is fully staffed inclusive of an English speaking Public Relations manager, Vasanthi, who is on duty from 7am to 6.30pm daily. The staff is helpful, courteous and eager to please, whilst also sensitive to the need for privacy.
Excursions
There is good snorkelling in unspoilt coral pools just in front of the Villa. Boats can be arranged from Mirissa further ahead, for day or night fishing, accompanied by experienced fishermen. Surfing is ideal at Unawatuna, laden with small and rustic beach bar shacks; just a few minutes walk away. A boat ride on Koggala Lake with its many islands is another wonderful experience just walking distance inland from the villa. Eagle Island with about 100 nesting Eagles, and other small islands with nesting parrots, and a variety of bird species makes Koggala Lake a bird watcher's delight. The historical town of Galle, with its Dutch Fort, a UNESCO-protected World Heritage site and a melting pot of cultural influences, is just a 15-minute drive from South Point Villa. With its well-preserved ramparts overlooking the cricket stadium, lighthouse staring into the Indian Ocean, narrow streets, interesting restaurants and boutique hotels full of character, Galle Fort deserves hours of exploration.
