Location

If Villa is perfectly located for a satisfying beach holiday. It is perched on a beautiful beach on the Galle coast and when even the most avid sun worshipper gets itchy feet, the historic town of Galle – one of the largest 'living' forts in the world – is only a few kilometers away. The journey from Colombo takes around three-and-a-quarter hours. Allow an extra hour or so if you are travelling from the airport or consider the Air Taxi, which offers flights from Katunayake International Airport to Koggala which is just ten minutes from IF Villa.

Why you should book with us

This magnificent colonial Dutch house is set in a large tropical garden and faces south over a beautiful stretch of sandy coastline. The villa resembles a Southern walauwa -- or ancestral home -- with columns and verandahs, a central courtyard, and sprawling gardens. Enter the villa via an open courtyard which leads to a large sitting room and on to wide, covered verandas with breathtaking views. A manicured lawn acts as a natural boundary between the main part of the villa, housing the bedrooms and sitting room, and the dining pavilion and separate kitchen. The villa has its own private entrance to the beach, which thanks to the protection of a natural reef offers some of the safest year-round swimming on the south coast, making IF Villa a perfect holiday getaway for families with children. The large garden is also an ideal setting for a family wedding.

IF Villa has five a/c bedrooms, three doubles and two twins. Ensuite bathrooms have h/c water showers, twin washbasins and w/c. All the rooms open out to the garden and some also open onto the central courtyard. The rooms are tastefully furnished with canopied four poster beds.

There is a large sitting room with comfy sofas. In addition, the covered verandas are decked out with planter’s chairs and an outdoor seating area is perfect for lazing under the sun. The dining table is located in a separate dining pavilion. It has its own seating area for pre-dinner drinks and can be laid for ten. There is a well-equipped kitchen and large BBQ. A small shaded seawater plunge pool is located near the front of the house. The staff includes a full time cook, three housekeeping staff, gardener and night watchman who are all helpful and attentive.

There are several beautiful beaches to explore and you can also adventure inland to see the natural and serene splendor of the south’s rural countryside. Visit Galle’s Dutch Fort, a UNESCO protected World heritage site. Day trips to wildlife parks can also be arranged.
