Skye House

Skye House – Modern Beach Front Villa

Skye House is a grand boutique fun family villa, only 10km from the historic Galle Fort, Sri Lanka. There are four luxury en-suite suites, plus a child’s bunk room. Seconds from the luscious L-shaped pool adjoining the house you walk out through swaying coconut trees and onto the spectacular, super soft sand of Habaraduwa beach. The clever and generous design of the house boasts an extensive and very accommodating range of living space. Courtesy of the open plan sitting room, poolside games room, various adjoining balconies and terraces, everyone has the option to retreat to their own peaceful corner or share the ample communal areas together. A team of six staff of Skye House will cater to your every need, as well as challenge guests to a game of beach cricket!

Arriving through large wooden gates, you are instantly greeted by two lion fountains and a fantastic purple lotus pond. On your left, French doors lead you into the immaculate and well-equipped kitchen. Marbled stone worktops, whitewashed walls and stripy breakfast stools, make this a very striking and inviting breakfast or children’s dining area. Stepping stones across a small lawn lead to the en-suite poolside games room, complete with TV/DVD Player/WIFI, table football and pool table. Elegant glass doors open out onto the stylish sundeck, equipped with sun loungers and umbrellas overlooking the infinity terrazzo tiled pool. The Pond Room terrace, situated immediately on the right as you enter the property has twin beds and an en-suite with shower. Above the twin, up the wooden stairway, is a children’s bunk room with six beds and a cot. Head south along the decking, elevated over the inner courtyard pond below to an alluring wicker sofa with a sensational sea view. This balcony continues through to the veranda that stretches for the entirety and either side are the two main bedrooms both with inviting ocean views. Head south along the decking, elevated over the inner courtyard pond below to an alluring wicker sofa with a sensational sea view.

The long wooden table seating up to 14 is at one end whilst at the other are two sofas and a blue daybed. A small study leads off the living space with a desk and WI-FI access. Accessed via the inner courtyard, opposite the Pond room, is the Garden Suite, with a king-sized bed and en-suite, with shower and French glass windows that lead out to the garden. A unique Jungle Gym of Skye House is discreetly situated to the side of the house, guided by two turquoise antique shutters that stylishly accent the crisp white wall. The immaculate lawn, laid across the back of the house shares the spectacular sea view. Hosted by palm trees, a volleyball net awaits, perhaps followed by an afternoon snooze in the hammock and an evening stroll along the beach.
