Armitage Hill is a breathtaking five-bedroom villa perched atop a 20-acre private hill estate just minutes from Galle Fort, sleeping ten guests across five serene king-bed suites. Designed as a compound of separate pavilions, each air-conditioned suite opens onto polished concrete floors, teak accents & antique furnishings, all surrounded by lush tropical gardens and verdant jungle — a perfect balance of privacy & natural beauty.
Central to the property is a stunning 70-foot private pool set against manicured lawns and framed by native hedges & tall palms, with a shady pool pavilion for private reading or siesta.
The villa’s layout encourages seamless indoor-outdoor living, with expansive verandahs, central courtyards & open-air lounges blending effortlessly into the surrounding canopy.
