CEYLON COLONIAL BUNGALOW
Best Eco-Luxurious Bungalow Retreat
Medusa Bungalow is a three-bedroom colonial villa in Akmeemana, a quiet village just outside Galle and the Indian Ocean. Original features — high ceilings, aged walls, and shaded verandas — are paired with minimalist design and a close connection to nature. Large windows open to coconut trees, birdsong, and the soft rhythm of rain in the garden.
Only one booking is accepted at a time, so the entire villa is yours: two king bedrooms, an additional single room, indoor and outdoor living spaces, a fully equipped kitchen, and a stone plunge pool surrounded by tropical plants. An in-house chef prepares your meals, while a small team quietly looks after housekeeping, garden, and pool care.
Medusa is created for guests who want to slow down — couples, close friends, or solo travelers seeking privacy, calm luxury, and a gentle connection to Sri Lanka’s countryside.

We loved staying at your property from the minute we walked through the door and were greeted with fresh coconut to drink, the pool, decor, and overall stay was lovely. It was exactly what we hoped for. Thank you

An amazing house 20 min. from Galle. Great staff to communicate with and help. Great breakfast served by the staff. Have driven tuk tuk to unawantuna and talawelle beach. 1500 to 2000 rupees approx. Both beaches great, with more action and turtles of the talawella. To the place again, really great with great staff and great location. Amazing garden with lots of fauna .
