Nestled by the golden sandy beaches of Habaraduwa, just a few kilometers away from the more touristic Galle town, Villa Nilaya is aptly named in the ancient Indian language as a peaceful “abode” for any traveler to relax and enjoy the beauty of the Indian Ocean. The cosy two bedroom Villa Nilaya is an ideal getaway for a small family or a couple looking for a private beach holiday.
Villa Nilaya boasts two large bedrooms on its first floor with four poster beds and colourful turquoise and white furnishings with even more colourful ensuite bathrooms.
10 x 5m
Just beyond the dining area is the pool with its blue mosaics tiles overlooking the ocean. The garden is landscaped in a manner which invites its guests to move from Villa Nilaya to the sandy beaches beyond the little brown door at the edge of the garden which opens to the ocean.
The entire ground floor of Villa Nilaya is dedicated to an open living space. With a sitting area well equipped with comfortable cushions and large couches leading the way to the dining area which is overlooking the pool and the ocean. The blue and white furnishings and decor in the living spaces is a tasteful mélange of typical Greek colours with an Asian style.
Fully staffed with daily housekeeping, bellboy, concierge and a dedicated chef, everyone at Villa Nilaya is ready and waiting to welcome its guests for a perfect holiday experience. The chef is ready to create any dish to suite your taste, but if guests wish to cook something for themselves, they can do so in the fully equipped gourmet kitchen.
Just a 15 minute drive from the historic World Heritage Site of Galle fort, Villa Nilaya provides the perfect location for a private beach getaway with easy access to many sight-seeing opportunities including the sea-turtle hatchery in Koggala, boat rides on the Koggala lagoon and snorkeling in the Unawatuna bay, all just a few kilometers away.
10/10What a magical place. We have loved our stay at Villa Nilaya. First holiday for our daughter Lara and she loved swimming every day and evening walks along the beach. The location and setting of the villa is perfect. We are going to miss hearing the waves and the amazing view out to sea. Staff are fantastic, especially the chef - a great mix of Sri Lankan and western cuisine. Thank you team for a fantastic holiday - we will be back!
10/10We've just sent 4 relaxing days at Nilaya, a perfect way to end our holiday in Sri Lanka. The villa was perfect and the pool and beach were beautiful and so much fun. The staff were wonderful and very accomodating.
10/10Thank you Vidura & Vishal for looking after us so well! All the food has been delicious and we really appreciate you fulfilling all our menu requests. Thank you also for keeping us so well. You have both been very attentive to our needs & the girls have really enjoyed tasting so many delights! We love this location - the beach here is beautiful & it's great to have such easy access. It holds a special place in our heart as we got married in Talpe 10 years ago so we were excited to bring our 3 girls here to show them and we know they will share our love for Galle. Vidura has kept the villa incredibly clean for us so we really appreciate it! Thank you for a lovely time and the best rice and curry!
10/10Fantastic stay! Food was delicious. The villa was clean, beautifully decorated and just steps from the ocean. Perfect location and superb service.
10/10From the moment we walked in the villa, we were stunned by the view. Villa is beautiful, open and airy, and our kids Noa and Lucca (3 yo) loved spending their time at the pool and the beachfront. The turtle hatchery next door also contributed the entire experience. Villa staff is extraordinary and Chef Lahiru is an absolute rock star. His meals made half of the experience. Kids have already asked when will we be back :)
10/10Thank you for the amazing hospitality during our stay. This was the second part of our wedding trip to Sri Lanka. We truly felt so welcomed + enjoyed every second spent here.
10/10Fabulous, A splendid vacation, Excellent service, Wonderful guys. They always take care about us and cooking very well. We will be back!
9.8/10We came to the villa for a family holiday with our 2 year old, everything about the villa, the location and the surrounding area were perfect. The open plan villa leading to the pool and grass area, straight down on to a beautiful beach. The area is out of the main touristy spots which was perfect for us and meant we were often the only people on the beach. Lahiru and Sujeewa who looked after us at the family were outstanding- the warmest friendliest Sri Lankan hospitality you could ask for. They went out of their way to make sure we had every comfort, the Sri Lankan meals Lahiru prepared were so delicious and varied, the house was always spotless, they did the shopping, and made useful suggestions for things to do or what to eat that day and the whole family enjoyed their company. You are just short tuk tuk rides from all the more touristy spots in the area, we swam with giant turtles nearby, went to galle fort and hit a couple of the local surf spots. Couldn’t have asked for a better holiday - thankyou!
10/10Villa Nilaya was absolutely perfect in every way, I couldn’t find a single fault. The house was perfect, the location was perfect, the service was perfect and Ayesh, Prabath and Wilmut were so friendly and helpful. I can’t wait to return. Thanks to everyone. TOM
10/10We loved everything about the house. The pool and living room spaces were amazing, the staff and cleanliness spectacular, it was probably our best family holiday! We would highly recommend this villa to everyone.
10/10We had an amazing family holiday. Prabath, Ayesh and Wilmut were all fantastic and looked after us from home made yummy Sri Lankan curries to playing UNO with our daughter, keeping the villa in tip top shape to just telling us about the culture and local places to see and experience. Great location, amazing villa, totally recommend, thank you so much, wouldn't have changed a thing and will certainly be back :)
10/10A perfect stay at Villa Nilaya! We came to Sri Lanka not knowing what we expect. We leave Sri Lanka with smiles on our faces and knowing we will be back. Much thanks to our stay here at Villa Nilaya. The house, food, beach and phenomenon staff made it a trip that won't be forgotten. A big thanks to Prabath +Co. The food and service was some of the best service we've experienced, not just in Sri Lanka but in all our travel of the world. Until next time... Peace, Love, Happiness
10/10We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Nilaya- The Villa is comfortable, well-organized. tastefully decorated. The service was attentive and hospitable. The beach is fantastic! We hope to be back soon.
10/10After travelling through Sri Lanka with lots of fantastic impressions and experiences, we really enjoyed the very relaxing and homely atmosphere of Villa Nilaya. The villa was not less than a dream with its view on the beach and the ocean, and a perfect end of our trip to speed. Prabath and his team looked after us so well that we rather felt as part of family than being guests. The tasty food Prabath prepared for us was superb and the time, support, and spectacular service of the team made our stay unforgettable. It let us feel very very comfortable and at home among fields- We loved it! Christie, Andrea, Henry K & Hannah
