Victoria, Thalpe
Location
There are few beach villas that allow you to unwind quite so easily and completely as Victoria. It has a privileged position in the small coastal settlement of Thalpe, a blissfully quiet spot even though the historic town of Galle is only five miles away. The journey from Colombo’s International Airport will take approximately four-and-a-half hours - or take the Air Taxi and fly to Koggala, which is a 15-minute drive away from the villa. The historic town of Galle is only 5km away.


Introduction
Victoria Villa is ever popular with Red Dot travellers. It is set in a coconut grove on a beautiful stretch of beach with landscaped gardens leading to the Indian Ocean. Designed by the owner, a leading Australian architect, Victoria is a contemporary interpretation of a traditional Sri Lankan house and furnished with exquisite Dutch period antiques. Timber columns, verandahs, clay tiled roof and cooling floors ensures this villa fits subtly into the southern landscape.

Accommodation
Victoria has five bedrooms – four doubles and two twin rooms in all. Three of the rooms have ensuite bathrooms with h/w showers. The master bedroom has an attached dressing area, bathroom with bath tub, h/w shower, and private outdoor garden shower. All rooms are furnished with canopied antique four-poster beds fitted with mosquito netting. Rooms are cooled by the sea breeze and overhead fans. Each bedroom has a garden courtyard or access to the main landscaped gardens.
Facilities
The sitting area is built around a wide and comfortable banquette and has views over the garden and out to sea. A pavilion, ideal for morning tea or an afternoon nap, is perched above the beach with uninterrupted views south across the Indian Ocean. The dining room is enclosed and has a table set for 10. There is a 12-by-5m salt water pool centrally located to the front of the villa. Victoria has a staff of three including a houseboy, cook and nightwatchman. Traditional Sri Lankan rice and curries and western cuisine is served. Discuss your preferences with the cook, and he will ensure that meals are prepared using fresh seafood and vegetables. He will also shop for you if you wish.
Excursions
Safe swimming is possible in Unawatuna’s beautiful beaches just nearby. Several water sports are on offer including deep sea fishing, catamaran and boat rides, surfing, and snorkeling. Take a look at Rhumassala Temple which has beautiful views of the headland of Unawatuna Bay. Stroll through hidden villages and verdant wooded valleys eventually finding yourself on `Jungle Beach’ - a little known and secluded beach. Galle’s historic 17th century Dutch Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site is just 15 minutes away. Hours can be spent exploring the maze of narrow streets lined with Dutch and British period buildings still in use, the sturdy ramparts looking out to sea, the growing collection of art galleries, antique shops, cafes and restaurants.
