The Sun House, Sri Lanka

Original boutique elegance and style in Sri Lanka

High above Galle, with views of the harbour and the sea, this unique boutique hotel offers the chance to truly recuperate amidst wonderfully serene surroundings.

The pioneer in boutique hotels in Sri Lanka, the Sun House continues to set standards while its sister hotel, ‘The Dutch House’ has taken them to a whole new level. Think ‘Colonial Planter’ and you will have some idea: wide verandas, ample gardens, cocktails at sunset and world class food.

All six rooms are decorated beautifully with crisp whites and subtle shades and the furniture is polished wood. The service is discreet and efficient and the whole feel, a world away from the manufactured surroundings of the large resorts further up the coast.

Galle is a wonderful old historical town, with the World Heritage listed Galle Fort, of particular interest. There are also some great excursions such as river boat trips, cultural sites and nature trails. The range of crafts in the area is also outstanding, with several nearby villages dedicated to different crafts.
