Villa Saldana, combining comfort with grace, is a perfect base to explore the many beaches, sights and attractions surround Galle. Never find yourself far from luxury and comfort at Saldana.

The villa is built in the colonial Dutch style with towering pillars, an expansive veranda, high archways and soaring timber ceilings. Saldana features two spacious double suites on either side of a luxurious sitting room, which are beautifully decorated with antiques, artwork and furnishings from South Asia and beyond.

Enjoy views of the sea from the comfort of the sitting room, under fans that provide respite from the tropical heat. Local antique paintings carpet the walls as you relish the timelessness of your elegant surroundings. The sea-view veranda at the back of the villa offers a variety of areas to relax during both day and night. In fact, you may never want to leave!

The villa is fully staffed with a cook who can create a delectable menu of dishes ranging from East to West. The kitchen is also available for guests to cook for themselves.You can discuss your meal options with the cook each morning.

Saldana has two kitchens. The first is a modern kitchen that boasts glass and steel cabinets with granite countertops and is fully equipped with appliances, dishware, and utensils. The second is an authentic curry kitchen, where our staff cooks up rice and curries in the traditional Sri Lankan style.

Every morning enjoy a delicious western or Sri Lankan breakfast accompanied by fresh tropical fruits at any one of the many scenic dining spots at the villa. The cook at Saldana is comfortable cooking western dishes, but excels at cooking traditional Sri Lankan cuisine—eat rice and curry to your hearts delight!

Order fresh fish and seafood straight from the local market, or even better from the fishermen who come to the villa to sell their catch in the morning.

You are also free to explore the local restaurants at nearby Unawatuna and Galle. While it is possible to buy imported wine and liquor locally, if you have anything specific in mind, it is best to bring your own with you, or let us know your requirements in advance. Fresh fruit juices, soft drinks, and mineral water are in plentiful supply.
