Sri Lanka expert Eden Villas adds two new properties
Eden Villas, the leading luxury villa expert in Sri Lanka, has introduced two new properties to its portfolio of rentals along the island’s southern coast.
Chandolu, Galle Fort
A delightful three bedroom oasis with spectacular views over the historic ramparts of Unesco World Heritage Site, Galle Fort. The view from Chandolu’s private roof terrace is one of the ultimate views in Galle, to be enjoyed whilst dining al fresco or relaxing with a sundowner.
Inside the house itself, a chequerboard entryway leads to the airy main open-plan living space with its high ceilings, courtyard and cooling plunge pool. There’s a housekeeper who will make a delicious breakfast, and Galle Fort is awash with restaurants and cafes for all budgets, or for those keen to cook, the kitchen is fully equipped.
Tip! The house is perfectly positioned to attend the internationally-acclaimed Galle Literary Festival which returns next year, 24th - 28th January 2024.
Eden Villas (www.edenvillas.com) offers nightly rates at Chandolu from £290. Sleeps six.
Myla Beach Villa, Rathgama - brand new beach villa
It’s all about the beach here. Myla Beach Villa is a gorgeous beach front villa in the small coastal town of Rathgama, facing a wide, long tropical sandy beach a few kilometres from historic Galle Fort.
The interiors have features made from locally sourced materials, with custom-made furniture using local teak wood and handmade tiles. In addition, many antique pieces have been lovingly restored to bring them back to their old glory, juxtaposing majestic old items with contemporary design. Every pocket of space has been thoughtfully designed with interesting elements to invite gentle relaxation.
The four bedrooms, all ensuite and all with floor-to-ceiling windows that lead onto the ocean facing balcony, are located on the first floor. The largest bedroom has a bath tub with ocean views and all other bedrooms have lovely light bathrooms with walk-in showers. There’s also a library, TV games room and a dedicated workstation.
The palm-fringed pool, running the width of the property and facing the beach, is overlooked by an outdoor dining pavilion and bar area for sundowners.
Eden Villas (www.edenvillas.com) offers nightly rates at Myla Beach Villa from £525. Sleeps eight.
