41 Lighthouse Street

Behind the tasteful, and very discreet entrance of 41 Lighthouse Street , is one of Galle Fort’s prettiest houses. With just three bedrooms, this can be booked in its entirety as a private villa or as individual rooms.

The seriously special villa tucked away inside Galle Fort offers a spacious living area, beautifully designed rooms, a shimmering swimming pool and a very pretty courtyard. Once through the front section of the house, you enter the large, bright courtyard; this is a the space perfect for relaxing, eating and swimming in the heat of the day, after a morning exploring the fort.

The whole of 41 Lighthouse Street has been finished to a wonderful standard with many personal touches giving the house a homely feel. There are two rooms upstairs and one downstairs, and all are beautifully furnished. This is one of the leading private villas within Fort and can accommodate up to seven guests. The three rooms can be rented on room basis as well as an entire villa.

What we love

Can be booked as a private villa or individual rooms
It has a beautiful courtyard and gardens, offering something quite special
There's a pool, which many hotels don't have inside the fort
Attentive staff
Great for families, accommodating up to seven guests

It can book up quickly as it's so small

Whilst breakfast is offered, other meals aren't as standard (you can book a private chef in advance)

Despite not serving other meals as standard, you are well located to enjoy all the cafes and restaurants inside the fort

Yes families are welcome here, it's good as a private family villa.

Located in the heart of Galle Fort along lighthouse street. Cafes, shops and landmarks are only a five minute walk.

What our travellers say

We went to Sri Lanka as a three-generation family of three. The superb trip was organised by Samanthie and the team and it's difficult to see how it could have been bettered.

Red Dot organised the most wonderful 3-week holiday for us. Samanthie built a trip around the amazing sights we had requested visiting, together with her own suggestions and a wide mix of hotels, which gave us the flavours of both traditional Sri Lanka and the sleek, stylish contemporary version of the country. Our Driver made the whole experience incredibly special for us.

I can’t thank Cherylle and the Red Dot team enough for their meticulous planning of our family holiday to India travelling through Rajasthan over Christmas. As a family of all adults, every suggestion from daily activities to hotel choices was simply perfect. We travelled through Delhi, Ranthambore (an unforgettable tiger safari!), Jaipur and Agra and I truly feel we experienced the very best of each destination while moving at a relaxed, well thought out pace

My partner arranged a holiday trip at fairly short notice to Sri Lanka with Red Dot on a recommendation, Samanthie was so patient & helpful with her suggested itinerary which we followed with some minor amendments. On arrival at Colombo we met Manjula our chauffeur/guide who was absolutely brilliant!

Dulmini and the Red Dot Team arranged a fantastic trip for us around Assam and North East India. Faultless service. I cannot recommend them more highly.

Wonderful company. Our holiday in Sri Lanka was perfect. Local knowledge made all the difference

We looked up, and communicated with umpteen tour operators. Though Red Dot seemed to have offices in Sri Lanka and the UK, they seemed to have the best reviews. We were fortunate enough to correspond with Cherylle, who not only assured us of the safety of our friend, but created a personalised, and flexible, itinerary which we could not have done ourselves.

A 14-day tour with Red Dot Tours was the perfect antidote to the bleak UK winter. After a glowing recommendation from a friend, we contacted Red Dot Tours and were not disappointed. Our consultant, Lahiru, curated a seamless itinerary. Throughout the planning phase, Lahiru was incredibly responsive; the final itinerary—delivered via a user-friendly 'Guest Portal'—was impressively detailed, covering every hotel stay and excursion.
