Set within 20 acres of peaceful countryside, Sanctuary Pavilion is a rare retreat just 7.5 km from the UNESCO-listed Galle Fort. Once a plantation house built in 1820, the estate has been thoughtfully reimagined into a collection of private pavilions that balance historic charm with contemporary style. At its centre lies the beautifully restored main house, surrounded by lush courtyards, airy living spaces, and a dining pavilion designed for gathering together in comfort. With five spacious bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, the property offers a sense of seclusion and tranquillity ideal for families or groups.
Perched on a hilltop, Sanctuary Pavilion enjoys sweeping views over the Gin River and the expansive floodplains beyond, with Adam’s Peak rising in the distance. A 70-foot swimming pool and a dedicated pool pavilion create the perfect setting for lazy afternoons, while the surrounding landscape invites quiet reflection and exploration. Blending nature, heritage, and refined design, Sanctuary Pavilion promises an unforgettable stay on Sri Lanka’s southern coast.
