Victoria Villa Living
Victoria Villa is the ultimate Sri Lankan beach house. The setting is absolutely incredible: nothing beats enjoying your breakfast in your beachfront gardens with the sound of the waves as your soundtrack. The décor also feels irresistibly beachy and unmistakably Sri Lankan, relying on light colours and beautiful vintage furnishings. The ample lounges mean there’s plenty of opportunity to enjoy the villa and each other to the fullest.
Living Room
True to Sri Lanka’s relaxed lifestyle, the villa features several lounges designed to bring people together. The main living room features a large plush sofa and rattan armchairs, with glass doors opening to the sea view patio waiting right outside. Another great place to hang is the villa’s over-sized veranda with its large built-in sofas which invite you to indulge in the indoor-outdoor lifestyle of the tropics.
Dining Room
The villa has a few gorgeous dining areas for guests to choose from. The indoor dining area features a long table that can easily seat all 10 guests, with evocative art adorning the walls. Alternatively, you can dine outside on the poolside patio while enjoying splendid sea views. There’s also a smaller dining area on the veranda – perfect for a lazy breakfast or a casual lunch. The villa’s Jamie Oliver-brand pizza oven is a really special treat!
Media Room
When you feel like cosying up with a good movie, head to the villa’s media room where you can kick back on a plush sofa in air-conditioned comfort while enjoying some silver screen magic.
Garden & Pool
Victoria Villa offers an absolutely blissful setting right on the coastline. The villa is hugged by green lawns dotted with palm trees, with a beautiful stretch of beach just a few steps away. Another highlight is the swimming pool positioned at the centre of the property – the ideal spot for cooling off amid the tropical weather while enjoying amazing ocean views. There’s an array of sun beds by the pool, while the dreamy cabana by the beach offers the perfect setting for taking in a glorious tropical sunset.

Beautiful and swimmable Dalawella Beach is a quick two-minute drive away – you can even spot some turtles here if you’re lucky!

Sri Lanka Travel Guide
A teardrop shaped island riddled with lush tea plantations and ancient temple ruins; framed by golden sand beaches and palm trees swaying in the breeze. It might sound like a fairy tale, but in Sri Lanka, the fantasy comes to life. Add to this the scenic train rides, exotic safaris, pumping surf breaks and above all, the warm smiles of the locals – and you have the unique magic of Sri Lanka.

Savitar Jagtiani
I first visited Sri Lanka in July 2004 but only had time for Colombo. It was always a dream to explore and enjoy Galle, its famous beach life, and our stay at Victoria Villa in October 2023, only 19 years later, finally made this dream come true. I have to thank my dear friend Karan Gokani for recommending this place but the owners — Lena and Vinod Hirdaramani — need to take a bow for building such a beautiful home.
Stunning doesn’t begin to describe it. Designed by renown Australian designer Bruce Fell-Smith, Victoria Villa is the definition of serenity featuring old world charm, a beautiful pool and garden, surrounded by gorgeous palm trees and a view of the Indian Ocean that is a privilege to behold. Guests in this 5-bedroom villa are looked after by six amazing staff led by the incredible Anil Hunukumbura. They are all friendly, kind and helpful and their cooking skills, especially for Sri Lankan specialities like hoppers, sambol, curries and various seafood dishes, are top notch.
Adding to the charm are serendipitous events like a local fishermen walking on the beach selling their latest catches to anyone willing in adjacent villas. We were lucky to make friends with one of them – Dula – who delighted our children by showing them at least 6 fresh lobsters, two giant crabs and a huge snapper. After learning how to hold live lobsters, without getting shredded, we ended up buying 3.5 kgs of them and ate a scrumptious meal at night cooked by the one and only Anil and his wonderful team.
On Lena’s recommendation, we organized massages at the villa. Three for our children and three for us adults from Deergayu Wellness Center. Their masseuses – Deepthi, Varsana and Randika – gave each of us one-hour Relaxing Full Body massages and we were touched by how friendly, kind and humble they all were. I would gladly recommend them to anyone visiting but this really elevated our experience. Affordable too. Each massage cost LKR 8,000 or USD 24. So worth the money.
Victoria Villa gets at least 5-stars from us. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone considering. Can’t think of a better way to enjoy beautiful Galle and this incredible country.

My absolute favourite place ever.
Been visiting here since 2010 and it’s only gotten better.
Anil and the staff are loyal and caring and will go out of their way to accommodate your needs.
Amazing food, simple and spacious property. Large dining area to accommodate an entire family or group.
Modernised antique rooms with all the comforts.
One level house, easy to navigate. Ample parking for 3 to 4 vehicles, a tranquil pond as you enter, a large outdoor seating area to lounge in, a massive indoor but airy dining room/hall, a dining porch and 5 bedrooms : 1 master king, 1 twin, 2 Queens, and one room connecting to stunning media room. All rooms have their own bathrooms and most have natural lighting in the day, often with curated mini courtyards or skylights.
Enough space for at least 10 to stay, maybe more.
All beds are 4 post high set wood, with nets in fully air conditioned rooms.
In the center of the garden is a beautiful pool under palm trees, with sun beds.
There’s a hammock by the edge of the ocean and a stunning sturdy and comfortable concrete gazebo just next to it overlooking the crashing waves to enjoy a breeze and a cup of tea or simply hang out and have an evening cocktail.
Attention to detail is amazing. From cutlery, to cleanliness.
Note that while this is beach front, and there is a good stretch of beach to walk on, the immediate beach in Talpe is fairly rocky. You can ask the staff about where it’s good to go swimming though.
What also makes the location fantastic is its proximity to Unawatuna and Galle Fort and about 30 mins drive in the opposite direction to Weligama/Mirissa for excellent surfing.
So just 10 to 15 mins drive away from some awesome restaurants if you want a change of scenery… But honestly you probably won’t.
This is the kind of place where you just park for a holiday and don’t go anywhere. Everything is brought to you.
Just magical.
