The villa
A boutique villa on the water
Villa Inlet Galle sits right on the bayfront at Galle, looking out over both the Indian Ocean and the calm of the Gin River estuary behind it — the inlet the villa is named for. Four family deluxe rooms with sea views and one triple budget room, all fully air conditioned and quiet, each with a hot water shower and a private balcony.
Downstairs there is a living room, dining room and kitchen, a secluded courtyard with a swimming pool, and a garden that runs down toward the sand. Galle Dutch Fort is a short drive south.
