South Point Abbey, Kathaluwa
Price From:  US $ 500.00 (Exclusive use - 1 to 3 Rooms, VO Basis, Whole Villa)
Location
South Point Abbey is a restored colonial property situated by the beachside in the fishing village of Kathaluwa, just south of Galle. Just in front of the villa there is a coral reef protected bay offering safe swimming, snorkeling and diving. Located next door is the South Point Villa, a sister property, owned by the same Sri Lankan family. Being in close vicinity, these two villas are ideal for two families or a group of friends travelling together. 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
five-minute drive away from the Abbey. 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 Abbey’s original building was constructed during the Dutch colonial period using coral and limestone. It has now been carefully restored to retain the old architectural features of verandahs, high ceilings, large airy rooms, all of which lets in plenty of fresh air, tropical sun and the ocean breeze. The large timber terrace upstairs furnished with comfortable recliners allows for relaxation and peaceful contemplation. The downstairs terrace opens out to a garden filled with mangroves. There is also an infinity pool with beautiful views of the deep blue sea beyond. Families with children are welcome here. A nanny can be organised to keep the children entertained.

Accommodation
South Point Abbey has three comfortable a/c rooms with attached bathrooms. The rooms are furnished with large four-poster beds and in one room there is a recliner that serves comfortably as a child’s bed. The rooms upstairs open out to a large covered timber deck overlooking the sea. The timber flooring upstairs adds to the warm ambience of this villa, whilst the aged terracotta flooring in the ground floor feels cool and relaxing to your feet.
Facilities
The living room and the den are furnished comfortably with many places to flop down and relax. The bookshelves are well stocked with interesting titles. There is satellite TV and a DVD player for in-house entertainment. The downstairs terrace opens out to a garden filled with mangroves. There is also an infinity pool with beautiful views of the deep blue sea beyond. If you’re a ardent chef, the well-equipped kitchen is perfect to do your own cooking – or be pampered and just discuss your preferred menus with the in-house chef, who will gladly turn out tasty meals using fresh vegetables and sea food brought on the doorstep from the village’s fishermen. The Abbey is fully staffed including a Guest Relations Manager, Vasanthi, who is on duty from 7am to 6.30pm daily and manages both the Abbey and South Point Villa next door.
Excursions
The coral bay allows for safe swimming and snorkelling just a few yards away from the house. A boat can be rented from Mirissa for those interested in day or night fishing. An experienced fisherman will accompany you to ensure safety. Surfing in Unawatuna or a boat ride in Koggala Lake with its many islands and numerous species of birds, are all just a few minutes walk away from the Abbey. A 15-minute drive will take you to the historical city of Galle, with its Dutch Fort, a UNESCO-protected World Heritage site and a melting pot of cultural influences. Explore the ramparts overlooking the cricket stadium, the lighthouse staring into the Indian Ocean, its narrow streets, interesting antique shops, restaurants and boutique hotels full of character.
