Designed with sustainability in mind Malabar Hill houses 12 luxurious villas showcasing the best of Sri Lankan charm coupled with elegant contemporary architecture. Romance lovers will fall head over heels for this magical offering of luxury right in the heart of Galle. Malabar Hill is a southern Sri Lankan contemporary architectural masterpiece that combines elegance and luxury with sound environmental practices. Prestigiously named as one of the “Top 30 Best New Hotels of the World for 2022” in British Vogue magazine, the villas are located just 45 minutes away from the Galle Fort.
Often called the best luxury private villas in Galle, Malabar Hill sits inland, just off the coastal hotspot of Weligama. Rising above the surrounding terrain, encounter languid rivers, lush paddy fields and grazing water buffaloes as you travel towards this secluded sanctuary.
Malabar Spaces have been built for two. Perfectly designed around a feel of romance and intimacy they are set amidst a world of tropical enchantment. All the Villas have their own private al fresco dining pavilions, along with their own private saltwater chlorinated infinity plunge pools. With floor-to-ceiling glass doors, the views are magically endless.
Our recommendation is the ocean-facing villas for the best all-round views. Additionally, the romantic al fresco room encourages in-suite dining, while the Hill House Bar provides amazing views and tantalising sundowners.
The variance of architectural features throughout Malabar Hill echoes magical inspiration. With minimal obstruction to the surrounding environment and the use of sustainable, locally sourced materials combined with antique interiors and bespoke furniture, the hotel is luxuriously enhanced by a bohemian sense of style.
With only 12 exclusive villas, displaying either Ocean or wetland, each villa feels like its very own sanctuary - a slice of heaven crafted just for you and yours.
If romance coupled with adventure is on the agenda, there's so much to do including a Spa sanctuary, guided bike tours with whale watching, surfing lessons and beach days out, all accessible a short distance from this haven.
Hill House dining is always fresh, local, and environmentally conscious without compromising taste or innovation.
