Location: The Beach Hut is situated in the
small coastal village of Dalawella just
ten minues from Galle, a historic town that contains two of
Sri Lankan's famous sites: the 300-year-old Dutch Fort, a
World Heritage Site now enjoying a remarkable cultural revival,
and Galle International Stadium, one of the world’s
most picturesque cricket stadiums. The journey from Colombo’s
international airport is approximately four-and-a-half hours.
Description: The Beach Hut is a fabulous
addition to the beach villas on the Galle coast. It is ideal
for couples and a perfect escape for a romantic honeymoon.
But there is also a small bedroom for children so the property
is also popular with small families. The villa is indulgently
spacious with upstairs reserved for sleeping and the downstairs
for relaxation. The interior is chic and bright. The pool
is magnificent and the beach sits at the end of a well cared
for garden.
Accommodation: The villa has one spacious
master bedroom suite with an ensuite bathroom and a smaller
twin room - both located upstairs. The master suite is furnished
with a four poster canopied bed. The Beach Hut can comfortably
accommodate two adults and two children. Both rooms have a/c.
Facilities: Downstairs there is an open plan
sitting area with large comfortable sofas and a dining area
– which can be moved to the poolside in the evenings.
There is a large pool and sundeck. At the end of the garden
there is a lovely cushioned seating area overlooking the beach,
perfect for sunset. The two staff – a houseboy and housegirl
– will help buy your provisions and ensure the villa
is spotless but they are not chefs so you need to cook yourself.
Local chefs can be hired if good advance warning is given.
There is also a nightwatchman.
Excursions: There is a fine beach at the
end of your garden but you may also like to explore the picture-postcard
perfect Mirissa to the south, Unawatuna with its abundance
of friendly beach bars and Hikkaduwa to the north for its
foaming surf. Visit the historic 17th century Galle Fort,
a UNESCO World Heritage Site with narrow streets lined with
Dutch and British colonial era buildings which are still in
use, sturdy ramparts looking out to sea, the lighthouse, and
a growing collection of art galleries and several boutique
hotels.
