Palm Villa, Galle Fort
Location
facebook twitter
Located in the heart of Galle’s historic 17th century Dutch Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Palm Villa is a fully-restored three-bedroom villa which dates back to the early 1700s. The careful restoration blends old world charm with stylish interiors and modern conveniences and makes this villa an ideal holiday retreat for a family with children or friends travelling together. The journey from Colombo’s International Airport will take approximately four hours - or take the Air Taxi and fly to Koggala, which is a 15 - minute drive to Galle Fort.
Introduction
Palm Villla is one of the oldest houses inside the Galle Fort and has been restored re-using a lot of the original timber, including antique doors and windows, lintels and beams and high wooden ceilings. In contrast, the interiors are light and furnished with modern sofas, leather chairs, contemporary art and polished white cement flooring that insist on a barefoot life – all of which gives Palm Villa a stylish but more informal and homely feel.

Accommodation
There are three suites – 2 doubles and one twin all with ensuite bathrooms. Two suites are located on the ground floor and the master suite is upstairs. The spacious rooms have high ceilings with large windows. The interiors are stylish with a blend of antiques and contemporary furnishings. The a/c master bedroom upstairs opens out to a verandah and roof top terrace with views over Fort’s rooftops and the sea beyond. The master bathroom has twin vanities, a large copper tub as well as h/w shower.
Facilities
A large 50 ft. open-plan sitting and dining room leads through several archways to the landscaped garden and swimming pool. The sitting room is furnished with comfortable sofas and leather chairs. Meals are served at the elegant, ten--seater dining table or on the rooftop under the stars. The roof terrace which can be shaded or left open is furnished with recliners and is ideal for soaking up the sun, candlelit dinners or even a yoga session. There is a modern kitchen finished with white cement flooring and green terrazzo counter tops. Whilst the house is given on a self-catering basis, a cook can be arranged at an extra cost. The houseboy, who sleeps in, will prepare breakfast, help with other meals, as well as do the shopping if you wish. A room-girl comes in daily to clean.
Excursions
Galle Fort is like no where else in Sri Lanka. Enter through the 'new' English gate or the 'old' Dutch gate and enter a different country. Renovated Dutch architecture of some of the 600 odd houses crowd the narrow streets in this 90-acre World Heritage Site. The Ramparts are used for romantic strolls as well as early morning power walks as well - of course - for local 'village' cricket games. Bustling during the day but quiet at night, Galle Fort provides an exceptional and historic base from which to experience Sri Lanka. Palm Villa is centrally located in the Fort, close to a number of café’s, boutique shops and restaurants. A number of small beaches that is suitable for morning swims are a walk away just outside the fort, whilst some of Sri Lanka’s best sunbathing beaches are only a short tri-shaw ride away in Unawatuna and Hikkaduwa.
