Armitage Hill Private

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.
Inside, the living areas are bright & airy. Large windows & sculptural details create a tranquil, art-filled atmosphere perfect for gathering, reflection, or relaxation. A covered outdoor dining pavilion accommodates up to 20 guests, ideal for group dinners under the stars.
Armitage Hill’s hilltop setting offers sweeping views over flood plains with distant glimpses of Adam’s Peak to the north & the winding Gin River valley to the west. The surrounding property, once a tea & rubber estate, retains original coconut groves, jungle trails & abundant wildlife — from peacocks to monkeys — adding to its secluded allure.
A dedicated household team, including a private chef, housekeeping staff, pool & grounds crew, ensures your stay is effortless & personalized. The chef prepares custom meals using fresh local produce, while the house staff maintain immaculate standards throughout the villa.
Just 7.5 km from UNESCO listed Galle Fort & white sand beaches, the villa is a prime base for exploring southern Sri Lanka.
