Sergeant House Boutique Villa & Private Beach

Unawatuna

Adjacent to Unawatuna Beach, Sergent House is set in a boutique villa showcasing colonial architecture and originating in the 1800's.

R
Reinhard
From
Germany
The Sergeant House is an ensemble of buildings built in classical Sri Lankan architecture, with high-quality furniture typical of the country and lovingly designed, very appealing decoration in all areas of the complex. Although the original building is very old, it leaves nothing to be desired in terms of modern, contemporary comfort. The rooms are furnished and equipped down to the smallest detail. The lush tropical garden is well maintained and offers a sheltered Jacuzzi area and other quiet seating areas. The pool is elegantly blended into the grounds and offers a sort of jungle feeling when swimming. The really private small but nice beach offers sunny and shady spots on a nice lawn. As the hotel does not have many rooms, there was always a very private, quiet and relaxed atmosphere. The staff are personable, friendly and well trained. The very nice, competent manager of the hotel Chanthuri is always available for her guests and was always a good help with any questions. The tuktuk drivers and masseurs she arranges are also highly recommended. There was nothing to complain about. I would happily come back anytime.

Villa Ishq is a wonderfully luxurious villa set on a beachfront location in Talpe on the southern coast of Sri Lanka. The 5 bedroom suites are very well appointed and the bathrooms are huge and beautifully designed. What sets Villa Ishq above others is the staff. Led by the villa manager Nimal the staff are both many in number and super attentive. The cuisine is superb with all the local curries cooked fresh every day. We could order almost anything which was sourced locally and cooked to perfection. We had a most wonderful time! Many thanks for hosting us!

A great stay! Perfect service with Aruna and Asanka. Aruna is a great chef and prepared everything what we desired for. Asanka take care for the rooms and everything around without even noticing him - like a wizard. They were always there for us but still we had our privacy. Pool was a pleasure. Also a nice location. A bit away from the Main Street, but still close to everything what you need.

This will be a very difficult review to write as I’m afraid I won’t find the words to describe the amazing stay we had. This is the most beautiful boutique hotel you will find around Galle. Beautiful decor, art, vibe, feel. We were meant to stay 4 nights, ended up staying 7 nights. We preferred to lose the money at a hotel in Bentota, just to come back here for three more nights. We understand this sounds pretentious, however, this place is so good, we felt was the right move to really finish the holiday on a high note. Perhaps the highlight is the service. A one on one superb service. Vishan surely is the most helpful and kind soul out there. Nothing was impossible for him. The chef, the cleaning staff and even the gate staff were amazing. The rooms are gorgeous, clean and very, very spacious. Beautifully decorated. We stayed two nights at a pool room and the rest of the nights at a beach view room (also with pool access). Both were equally amazing, with direct access to the gorgeous infinity pool, handy outdoor shower, comfortable mattress and pillows. The food was amazing, breakfast was superb and abundant. Although the beautiful beach in front of the hotel is not swimmable (lots of coral reef) there are swimmable beaches a few meters away. And the presence of coral reef means seeing the fishermen early in the morning do their special Sri Lankan fishing technique. We would spend all morning and afternoon at the hotel (not wanting to leave) and around 4pm get ready for our Galle fort daily stroll (about 15-20min away by car). Visiting the old Galle city during day time is torturous as the temperatures are super high and super humid. So Galle old town for sunset and dinner every night was a great plan. Plenty of places to go for dinner, plenty of shopping and plenty to walk. We felt secluded, private, cared for, pampered, comfortable…. Such a great stay!
