Exceptional staff. Gorgeous sea view from amongst trees, 5 min from beach. | Villa in Galle
4 Bedroom Villa in Unawatuna, Galle
The Space
‘Unakanda' (a shortening of the location Unawatuna Kanda; “kanda” = hill), is the creative passion project of an Australian architect. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms are spread between two unique buildings either side of an infinity pool. Laid back, fresh spaces celebrate amazing sea views, climate, gardens and wildlife. Unakanda is a short walk above Unawatuna beach and less than 15 minutes from Galle Fort by tuktuk. A mix of mature trees give the sloping site a jungle garden feel which wraps around an old stone quarry, full of water, fish and turtles. It is a magnet for bird life and playground for monkeys and squirrels.
The "White House", originally a modest villager’s home, contains two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The living space opens onto the pool terrace and a cantilevered, polished concrete dining pavilion.
Opposite is a two-level contemporary building nestled into the slope and trees. On each level is a generous suite with king size bed, sitting area and bathroom. The Lower Garden Suite has a small private terrace shaded by passionfruit vine with plunge pool and garden outlook. The Upper has a balcony overlooking Unawatuna bay. There is also a delightful roof terrace accessible to all guests via an external staircase which has a tree house feel and a stunning 270 degree view.
Our greatest asset is Team Unakanda. From first contact we endeavor to provide local information, assist with travel arrangements and accommodate individual needs. We have hosted honeymooners, birthdays, family Christmas gatherings and a rooftop wedding. Manoj, Chi and Sujeeva care for the property and have been delighting guests with gentle attention and beautiful food since 2015. Vegan no problem. Our aim and pleasure are to create an inspiring, relaxed and beautiful setting for visitors to enjoy their Sri Lankan adventure.
