Found in a prime spot in Sri Lanka, close to beaches and surf spots in Kathaluwa and Ahangama, South Point Surf House is a resplendent, old-world Sri Lankan home that provides a retreat where you can relax, reset, and recharge. With expansive gardens, an open veranda, and surrounding tropical jungle makes for a pristine environment that is fresh and breezy. The five-bedroom, two-storey house is quintessentially a home away from home built like a colonial-era Sri Lankan bungalow.
Sounds from a neighbouring train station and passing vehicles may be heard at the veranda and garden.
With five bedrooms, South Point Surf House is the right place for a long-awaited family vacation. Four of the bedrooms are located on the main garden level while the fifth bedroom enjoys its own private space upstairs. It is adjoined to a balcony that serves as an excellent vantage point to view the garden and forests that stretch for miles ahead.
All five bedrooms are air-conditioned and come with ensuite bathrooms. They have rain-showers, hot/cold water, and other amenities for your convenience. The four-poster beds are plush and comfortable so you can retreat to your bedrooms for sound sleep. The villa even provides three bunk beds additionally in case you’re travelling with more guests.
The lush gardens at South Point Surf House are home to a lavish swimming pool that resides snugly amid luscious flora and tall palm trees that can be spotted over the roof of the house. The dense greenery is the perfect refreshment you need to let loose and leave behind the chaos of busy city lives. There are sun chairs for you to sunbathe and nap on, outdoor seating ideal for a morning/evening tea, and views of neighbouring jungles that will your mind at ease.
The main living areas at South Point Surf House begin where the garden ends with an expansive veranda which has been furnished with hand-crafted wooden furniture that sits facing a panorama of the villa garden. The veranda is where you will also find the dining area which may as well be alfresco-style since it is open to the outdoors. Thus, relish a piping hot, freshly-concocted feast amid the fresh air. Step inside through the antique doorway to reach the inner, living salon that provides a comfortable and cosy nook furnished with stone-platform, cushioned sofas. The walls are decorated with rich artwork while the ceiling slants and has wooden trusses giving you a gorgeous, colonial feel.
A spacious kitchen with stainless steel fittings, modern appliances, and amenities for your use is available right at the villa. Everyone can hang out together to prepare decadent meal as there is a lot of room to move around. The large windows allow an unobstructed view of the manicured gardens and can be left open to the tropical breeze.
For your ease, the villa is staffed to serve your requests and needs. Housekeeping service is available to guests as well and upon request a chef can be called in to delight you with local delicacies.
The villa is located in a spot that is close to some of the major beaches, surf spots, and sights in Sri Lanka. Two-minutes walking would lead you to the closest beach whereas, head to Ahangama to hit the surf breaks. Yala National Park is another memorable adventure waiting to happen only a short drive from the villa.
Head to the historical city of Galle to take a tour of the UNESCO Heritage Galle Fort. Another life-changing experience in Sri Lanka has to be the turtle hatcheries where you might be lucky enough to see the newly hatched turtles being released back into the ocean.
10/10This house was airy and very pleasant. The bedrooms were comfortable with good quality linen. They are private from the social areas of the house which was lovely. The pool is large and very clean - a great place for the children to play and for us to take a dip. The property is staffed and so we enjoyed breakfasts being cooked and served for us. We had friendly help when we needed it.
10/10We had a wonderful stay at South Point Surf House. Lovely enclosed garden with pool which was ideal for small children. Good location within easy distance of Weligama and Unawatuna for trips out. Excellent house staff who were always very accommodating and the food was fantastic. Seafood platter was a particular favourite. Sonali was an excellent host who as always available and very kindly sent cakes for the children. Can’t recommend this villa enough
10/10I would like to thank Sonali & everybody in the house for the great stay. The house and the garden are really nice, the location is fine and the staff were so friendly, helpful and kind. Thank you, guys. I will recommend your place to my friends. Hope to see you soon.
10/10Had a wonderful 3 nights in the villa. We were coolly greeted, everything was clean, the villa is really cozy and beautiful, cool for gatherings in the evening with friends. The staff is super, you could ask for drinks at any time, and we ordered a delicious English breakfast, which we did not regret. We were also allowed to relax during the day at the neighboring beach villa, the view on the ocean is amazing. It is important to note that there are only a couple of restaurants nearby, but there was no problem to take a tuk tuk 3km to the cactus and other places. Nearby was also a cool surf spot with a sand. I wanted to sincerely thank the team for such a pleasant experience, I would definitely recommend.
10/10The place is great for a big group. The staff is very helpful and courteous, we enjoyed our stay.
10/10We loved our stay at South Point Surf House. The flat grass area at the front was great for the very young children in our large party and the pool stayed nice and cool. The staff were really attentive and lovely - particular mention to Sahan the chef, whose cooking was amazing, Anji, who was always so helpful and Anil. Sonali was very kind to allow us to use a larger villa on the beachfront when it was available and for our Christmas celebrations. The beach directly over the road from the villa is very beautiful and peaceful but quite rocky for swimming but there is the wonderful Kabalana beach 2 minutes Tuk Tuk away for surfing, body boarding and better swimming. The train to Galle is a 5 minute walk away. The area is very quiet but Ahangama is very close and has beach bars and restaurants. The road to cross to get to the beach is very busy but it is manageable and the villa team will help you to cross whenever they can.
10/10I was looking for a property that would be able to accommodate over 30 people flying in from all over the world for our company gathering and came across the South Point Villas and booked the Surf Lodge as part of the booking. From the initial communication Sonali was always very responsive and proactive. The Lodge is very private and the grounds are constantly maintained and were immaculate at all times. The star of the show are the staff at the villas, they are the kindest group of people who were a joy to get to know. We had an amazing week and a large part of this was down to the team and the beautiful surroundings, I wouldn't hesitate to book again
10/10One of the best experiences! We went with 8 adults and 1 infant to South Point Surf House Staff: From the very first call to inquire about to location we were greeted with utmost professionalism. They understand their customers so well. They even went to the extent of providing a cot for the baby. Gamini (the manager) greeted us at the gate ( he was also worried when we got a bit late to arrive) and constantly checked if we needed anything. Anil who was handling maintenance ensured we were comfortable in every way! Even helped us with the BBQ. Mali the cook and her daughters were also friendly and ever so helpful. In our many years of traveling we have not come across such helpful staff - They are the the definition of true Sri Lankan Hospitality. Facilities: The location was clean and well maintained. The pool was a blessing on a hot April afternoon. Location: We were allowed to spend the evenings at the beach front villa. The almost private beach and the settled sea was an amazing experience. My favorite attraction was Randy and Niko, the resident Dobermanns! For a few pets they will pay fetch and accompany you where ever you go.
