Getting here.
Twenty minutes from Galle Fort, two hours from the airport — and the whole way arranged for you.
In garden country.
The bungalow stands in Akmeemana — a twenty-minute drive inland from Galle Fort, where the coast road gives way to paddy, jack trees and birdsong. Far enough that the nights are quiet; near enough that the Fort, the beaches and the whale boats are all within easy reach.
From Colombo Airport it is a two-hour run south on the Southern Expressway. You will not need to navigate any of it — tell us your flight, and your driver will be waiting.
Everything guests ask.
Is the whole bungalow really ours?
Yes. Three bedrooms, one booking at a time — the whole bungalow and garden are always exclusively yours. We never host two parties at once.
What is included in a stay?
The bungalow and garden in their entirety, your own host and daily housekeeping, and breakfast each morning. Retreat stays add the resident Ayurvedic doctor and daily treatments.
What is the Ayurveda retreat, in one paragraph?
A private, doctor-led programme in the tradition of the house: a consultation and a reading of your constitution, then a course prepared for your body and the season — warmed oils, herbs from the garden, twice-daily treatments and a daily rhythm of rest, usually over seven nights, with the whole bungalow kept for one guest or one couple.
How do we get here from the airport?
Two hours from Colombo Airport by the Southern Expressway. We arrange your transfer — message Alfred on WhatsApp and your driver will be waiting at arrivals.
How do we pay?
By bank transfer when you book direct today; card payment options are coming soon. Booking direct always carries the best rate.
When is the best season?
Galle is warm all year, around 27–30°. December to April brings the driest, brightest days; May to November is greener, with tropical showers that pass. The bungalow is made for both.
Are children welcome — and is staff around?
Children are very welcome: there is only ever one booking, so the bungalow is entirely your family’s. A small household staff comes and goes quietly during the day; the house remains yours.
