Sergeant H. is a small, unique, premium boutique villa adjacent Unawatuna Beach. It successfully meshes its colonial period style architectural splendour with 21st century luxury in a serene garden setting. The H. and the surrounding pavilions are furnished with an elegant array of antique furniture, comfortable lounges and richly textured fabrics allowing guests to relax in style and comfort. It can be booked as a whole or as individual suites.

The kernel of the H. is formed around the original bungalow, built in the early 1800's for the local police sergeant. It is the oldest remaining building in the village of Ganahena. Both Portuguese and Dutch influences can be seen in its construction, together with its original classic Tuscan style verandah columns.

Over two hundred years later Mark Smoot saw a vision for this place based on its unique attributes and proximity to the beach and Galle. So began the long process of sensitively restoring and expanding the property to form a cluster of pavilions interwoven around the original bungalow, its gardens, ponds, fountains, courtyards and wrap-around swimming pool.

A quick stroll from Sergeant H. to Unawatuna Beach will reveal a white sand half moon beach with its azure blue waters luring both locals and visitors. Here you will find swimmers, sun-seekers, kite flyers, or perhaps a few young cricketers in the late afternoon. Others spend their time enjoying refreshments and light meals at the cafes and restaurants scattered along the beach. At night time the beach side is transformed into a variety of restaurants, cafes, bars and beach side dance clubs for the night owls in your party. All of this is a safe distance away from Sergeant H. to preserve your peace and quite.

With only the bungalow and two suites, our aim is to give guests a pampered, private experience not often found in larger hotels and a memorable journey to the Southern Province of Sri Lanka.
