About the Hotel

IF Villa is characterised by space and is very private. Surrounding this magnificent five-bedroomed Dutch Villa in a sweeping sea of green is a two-acre tropical garden characterised by grassy lawns, swaying palms and scented frangipani trees. Bordering the garden is a stunning strip of beach enhanced by a beautiful coral lagoon that the villa has private access to. Since it offers some of the safest year-round swimming and snorkelling on the south coast, IF Villa is also an especially good choice for families with children.

An open courtyard with tranquillity pool marks the entrance to this chic and stylish colonial villa and leads into a spacious living room bordered on three sides by French windows and wrap-around pillared verandahs characteristic of a southern walawe or ancestral home. Sumptuously cushioned sofas within the villa and plentiful planters’ chairs on the tiled verandah offer the ideal location for both socialising and serenity as you gaze over the azure swimming pool in the garden to the glittering Indian Ocean beyond.

At IF, life is easy; the villa staff of six tend to your every need so you can enjoy cooling dips in the pool or ocean followed by long, lazy lunches on the sun-drenched terrace overlooking the lagoon. Come nightfall indulge in delicious dinners in the separate Dining Pavilion and let your personal chef take care of your culinary needs. If too much relaxing gets the better of you, the beach is perfect for a stroll while exploration of the historic city of Galle is only a 20-minute drive away.
