Pokkuluwa Estate, Galle, Sri Lanka
Upon a lush hillside 800 feet above sea level, Pokkuluwa Estate is a striking 6 bedroom villa that blends tropical elegance with the serene charm of rural Sri Lanka. Surrounded by a thriving tea plantation and overlooking rolling jungle, rice paddies and the distant Indian Ocean, the estate offers a unique and tranquil setting.
Completed in 2010 and thoughtfully designed by one of Sri Lanka’s leading architects, the villa is a modern interpretation of classical Sri Lankan design. It pays homage to its surroundings with a 'barefoot luxury' aesthetic, incorporating natural materials, polished cement finishes, and dramatic rock features drawn from the very landscape on which it stands. The result is a rich, welcoming home that balances sophistication with a relaxed island lifestyle.
The main house features five spacious bedrooms, including a stunning master suite and four generous double bedrooms. All but one are located on the ground floor, and each is accompanied by its own en suite bathroom, beautifully styled with bold design elements and natural stonework. A sixth bedroom, set slightly apart from the main residence, makes an ideal guest retreat or a more private hideaway for visiting friends or extended family.
Central to the home is a large, open-plan living space with soaring vaulted ceilings. Lush vegetation is planted throughout the building, bringing a sense of organic beauty to the interiors. This expansive space flows effortlessly into a separate dining area and a striking family kitchen. With a polished cement island at its centre and custom storage built into the walls, the kitchen is both practical and beautiful—perfect for casual meals or lively gatherings.
The villa sits within approximately one acre of landscaped gardens that transition gently into the surrounding jungle and plantation. The outdoor space has been carefully curated to complement the natural topography, offering a seamless connection between the home and its environment. A stunning L-shaped infinity pool wraps around the western corner of the house, perfectly placed to take in the evening sunsets while floating above the treetops.
Multiple terraces, sun decks and shaded corners throughout the estate provide a variety of options for outdoor living, whether for entertaining, reading, or simply soaking in the calm of the landscape. Located just inland from Galle and Sri Lanka’s southern beaches, this extraordinary property is both a peaceful sanctuary and a luxurious base from which to explore the island’s coastal beauty.
