Overview

Apa Villa has been totally refurbished and is looking lovelier than ever. It remains to be one of our Premier properties continuing to offer you total luxury and a service unmatched by others....

Apa Villa's charm lies in its mature coconut grove, and stunning swimming pool overlooking the Indian Ocean, only 8 km south from historic Galle Fort in southern Sri Lanka. The mood at the villa is leisurely as you ease into swimwear or sarong. Whether with family or friends, and children are welcome. The style of the villas befits a gentle tropical existence of monsoon rains, surf and splendid sunsets.

Apa Villa was featured on the Front cover of Conde Nast Traveler (July 2004 U.S edition)

Bedrooms

There are three colonial villas set within the Apa estate. Guests may rent an entire villa or a suite within the villa.

Larger groups (up to 16) can book all three villas together.

Living Areas

The three villas in the estate appeal differently. The stainless steel and wood furniture is contemporary and elegant. All soft furnishings are local weaves with attractive collectibles from other Asian countries. The Main House was built in 1995, and has a large central living room filled with books. A long terrace leads you to the two suites. Here, you can have breakfast or tea or anything you wish. Dining in the main house living room if you wish is for 12, though guests may choose to have breakfast or dine in the shade of the coconut palms, the beach deck or their own verandah.

Villa staff & Meals

Breakfast is included in the price and consists of an array of choices from tropical fruit, toast and eggs, pancakes, muesli as well as Sri Lankan dishes. Ask your chef to explain the Sri Lankan dishes, as they are a must. The staff will serve breakfast on the terrace at your time, any time. Light lunches are available at a mere $6 per person and can include salads, toasted sandwiches and a choice of local desserts. The evening meals are spiced according to your individual tastes and cost around $18 per person. For your meals, you will have your choice - Sri Lankan curries, or fresh seafood of lobsters, tiger prawns and yellow-fin tuna cooked to recipes of the world. Local fruits of pineapple, mango, jackfruit, watermelon and passion fruit are simply delicious. Come late afternoon, sit back with a coconut juice, sip a cocktail of fruit juice and "arrack" made from palm wine. Anticipate the ravishing sight of a setting sun.
