Overview
Just a few kilometres from the historic town of Galle, Sunset Retreat offers a tranquil escape surrounded by the natural beauty of Sri Lanka. Elevated slightly to capture enchanting views of verdant rice fields, the villa is a harmonious blend of Dutch colonial charm and contemporary comfort. Four elegant double-bedroom suites provide a restful retreat, each with en-suite bathrooms. The master suite boasts a freestanding bathtub and shower, while the remaining suites feature delightful indoor-outdoor showers. A dedicated team, including a chef, steward, and housekeeper, ensures your stay is seamless and relaxing.
Set within an acre of manicured gardens; the villa features three dining spaces to savour every meal. Choose from the bench seating near the open-plan kitchen, the round table on the verandah overlooking the pool and gardens, or the shaded pavilion beside the pool. Just 15 minutes by tuk-tuk from the beach, Sunset Retreat is an inviting haven, featured in celebrated "house and garden" collections for its timeless charm.
