Ambalama is a family-friendly beach villa located just 10 mins from the Historical Galle Fort. The entrance is across stepping stones over a water pond into the open plan sitting/dining area. The large teak doors open out to the garden, the Balinese tiled pool, and stunning views over the Indian Ocean. High ceilings and white terrazzo floors encourage cool airflow and louver windows can be adjusted to capture the wonderful views.

There are three doubles and one twin with all sea views. All have stylish en-suite bathrooms with power showers. Two of the double bedrooms also have additional outdoor showers. All are well furnished, in contemporary villa style, with elegant four-poster beds and mosquito nets.

The sitting room is large, wide, and comfortably furnished. Hanging ceiling fans complement the sea breeze. There is also a water garden in the living area. The atmosphere is friendly and inviting, and the experienced staff takes great care of guests. Meals are served to a high standard by the resident chef, who will prepare what you like and even take you shopping at the market.

The infinity pool is the center-piece of the garden. Surrounded by swaying coconut palms, sun-loungers, and a grassy lawn, it commands excellent views of the ocean and coastline. The local area itself has plenty to offer. Unawatuna beach is close by, as is the popular Galle Fort. There are some excellent restaurants within easy walking distance of the villa.
