Accommodation

Just as East meets West at every turn, so too does modern luxury combine with colonial splendor and charm at this accommodation in Galle, Sri Lanka. The walls are adorned with priceless photographs of times gone by, maps that betray the rich and torrid history of the land and its people, and colorful modern art that cheekily reveals the pull of Ceylon's traditional roots and the push of a modern, progressive Sri Lanka. Yet Taru's loyalty to the rich colonial ancestry of this villa in Galle makes no compromise on luxury. When you retire to your room you can rest comfortably in the knowledge that every detail has been considered. The famously plush beds guarantee a restful night's sleep, and the powerful rain showers will beg you to stay another five minutes.
