“A little Oasis in the middle of the Fort, Galle” We stayed with our 2 kids for 10 days in this very elegant house in the fort. We particularly enjoyed the atmosphere (one of the few houses in the Fort which remains cool and ventilated during hot days, besides there is a pool in the villa!), the great sun set on the terrace for aperitifs. With a family and kids, we spent most of our dinner at the villa, and the food was excellent, and the service was greatly efficient and discreet. For desert, you can even walk to the ice cream Italian place ;-). In short a great place that we will miss and highly recommended to our friends when we came back to Singapore.

“Amazing vacation” Visiting Sri Lanka you must pay a visit to Galle and stay at Templeberg Villa. We loved it! The villa is a perfect home stay and resort near the beaches if Thalpe and Unawatuna. We stayed for 10 days in the cute little holiday bungalow come Writers Cottage. The bungalow had two well appointed bedrooms with a private bathroom. There was plenty of sitting space and a large verandah with welcoming garden and jungle views. There are majestic landscape vistas. Each day we had a beautiful Sri Lankan breakfast of egg and string hoppers as well as western fare. The staff are very knowledgeable of the local area and were happy to provide Sri Lanka info to us so we could make the most of sightseeing. Templeberg Villa makes for the perfect Sri Lankan home. Can't wait to visit this Sri Lanka hotel again.

South Point Villa - 3 bedroom luxury beach villa -ideal for families
Galle villa
3 bedrooms / 4 bathrooms / sleeps 8
“A dream at the ocean” Arriving at the Villa (southpointvilla.com) the staff will greet you with a refreshing cloth and a delicous icecold drink. After passing the pool and a beautiful covered resting area you use a lightly curved bridge over a coy pond to enter the Villa. This Villa is located within a big garden, adjacent to a swimming pool, a grassy area, flowers and literally steps away from a beautiful, clean and quiet sandy beach for swimming and walking. Opposite the Villa, a coral reef invites you to snorkel and observe colorful fish. Lounge chairs and fresh towls are always provided. 3 bedrooms (TV, fans, AC) four-poster-beds, mosquito-nets, antique furniture, modern bathrooms - beautiful sink areas - always hot water - , fresh towls, shampoo and bathgels. One has a pool-garden-view, two have a garden/ocean-view and access to the deck. Inside and outside covered sitting-areas - including dining - w/ garden-ocean view. Staff is magnificent: they can arrange for everything (rental car, bicycles, boats, fishing, tours etc.) Laundry can be taken care of. Chef and his crew outstanding: the whole time such delicacies were created, that we never even got the idea of going out to eat somewhere else. Excursions: two National Parks "Uda Walawe" and "Yala" are not too far, teaplantations, Galle with its beautiful Fort and shopping in the city, a lake, other beaches and bays are nearby --- no nightlife.

About Galle
On the southwestern tip of Sri Lanka lies Galle, a major city and a fantastic vacation destination.
Grab your passport and get ready to explore this exotic and exciting city by finding your perfect vacation rental on FlipKey.
About Galle, Sri Lanka
Founded long before the Portuguese arrived, Galle is a unique blend of culture, architecture and history.
Persian, Arabic, Greek, Roman, Indian and Chinese traders all flocked here centuries before Europeans took over. Each have left their mark on the city, but the Europeans may have had the biggest influence.
Make sure you visit the Dutch reformed church, which was originally built in 1640. It has an organ dating back to 1760, as well as an iconic pulpit made from Malaysian calamander wood. These features make this church the perfect place to pause and reflect.
Though the city hasn't got a dry season, we'd suggest going in January and February so you can enjoy the heat with a little less rain.
While you're there, make sure to try all the local food you can—it’s delicious! But if you're looking for international cuisine from all over the world, then don't worry. There are plenty of restaurants serving everything you could wish to try!
What to do in Galle, Sri Lanka
If you fancy a bit of an adventure, head to Flag Rock at the southern end of the fort.
Daredevils jump off and leap into the water from the top. But we'd recommend just enjoying the spectacular sunset.
Head to the Historical Mansion, the National Museum and the Marine Archeological Museum to find out more about the area's history.
If you’re more of a hands-on history nut, head to the Old Gate. You'll see an ornately carved British coat of arms on the outer side of the gate. This portion of the old wall served as a warehouse for spices that were to be taken out through the port.
Take a tuk-tuk up to the Japanese Peace Pagoda and enjoy the spectacular views, as well as the beautiful building. This is another great place to watch the sunset.
Top travel tips for Galle, Sri Lanka
Street vendors sell an exciting variety of treats and snacks. One of our favorites is fresh papaya with a kick of chili powder. Yum!
Tuk-tuks are the way to travel in Galle. You can just sit back and relax, taking in the sights and smells of Sri Lanka while winding through the streets to your destination. There really is no better way.
If you get tired of wandering around the city, head to the beach. Unawatuna has a lovely spacious beach with plenty of spots to eat, drink and take a dip. The sun may not shine as brightly here, but it's still a great spot to relax.
Start your Sri Lankan journey off with a bang by booking your perfect FlipKey vacation rental. From luxury villas and stylish apartments to old-style houses, we have everything that could suit your vacation needs. Enjoy!
