Town: Sri Lanka, Galle, KathaluwaFrom the 300-year old UNESCO listed Galle Fort to the beaches of Unawatuna to the National Park at Yala, you can experience the diverse landscape that only Sri Lanka offers in such short distances.The sheer number of places to eat, trendy boutique shops and amazing unique sites to visit, demands attention by the most discerning of travellers. We have listed but a few of the most memorable. Galle, 116km south of Colombo The Fort, as it is known, is fast becoming one of the most fascinating places to visit in the world. The enveloping calm that surrounds you upon entering the Fort is a welcome respite from the busy streets outside the perimeter of Galle town. Newly purchased properties are rapidly being renovated in the traditional style with a colonial air about them. Large verandahs look onto narrow streets, fans whir away the warm breezes, shuttered windows keep out the midday sun. The Fort is an experience that is changing each time you visit. My advice would be to get there sooner than later. Places to eat around Galle The Lighthouse Hotel is a magnificent structure designed by the late, well-known Geoffrey Bawa and well worth a visit if only for the style and architecture. In the walls of Galle Fort you can taste the more up-market delights of the Galle Fort Hotel, the old Oriental Hotel now part of the Aman group, or head for the Rampart Hotel with a view over the Fort wall for a great selection of fish, or Sri Lankan curry. Unawatuna and Hikkaduwa both have a number of places to eat. Along Galle road you can also stop at some of the newer spots to have opened in the past couple of years and taste their wares. The villa is located near to Koggala Lake, a beautiful area abundant with birds and perfect for canoe rides around the different islands, the most popular being Bird Island. The village of Kathaluwa is a lovely, friendly village approximately 20 minutes drive (10 km) from the famous 300-year old UNESCO World heritage site of Galle Fort. A number of well-known beaches can be found between Koggala and Galle Fort: Koggala beach (1km), Talpe beach (3km), and of course the better known Unawatuna beach (6km). The great location of the villa makes it handy to stroll to the Lake, nip to the beach in a tuk-tuk or go a bit further to Galle Fort. When taking longer trips to see elephants or visit tea estates, we can help with organising your transport and guide.

Clients staying Nov 07 'I just wanted to write you a long overdue note of thanks for the wonderful time we enjoyed at Malgedara, all the staff were very helpful and were particularly kind to our son Arthur. We loved the beautiful garden and pool and you were right about it being a bird watcher’s paradise, each day brought a new visitor to admire and identify. We are planning another trip to Sri Lanka in the summer after the birth of our new baby, so I will be in touch then to see if you have anywhere free.' Clients staying Nov 2007 'Thank you for giving us such a wonderful place to stay. We are still talking about it! Our family also visited from Colombo and thought it was fantastic. You have made it such a welcoming and comfortable home in the most stunning of surroundings. We can see how much thought and work has gone into making it so simply enchanting and, of course, the pool was a truly welcome bonus.' Clients staying at Malgedara in August 2007 |
