Villa Auraliya in Talpe, Sri Lanka

Auraliya is situated in an acre of tropical garden adorned by frangipani trees and coconut palms with breathtaking views over the property. The villa is located in the middle of the idyllic Palatugaha beach enhanced by a stunning, unspoilt coral lagoon – one of only two villas with direct access to the beach on this exceptional reef-protected stretch of coastline. Since it offers some of the safest year-round swimming and snorkeling on the South coast, Auraliya is also an especially good choice for families with children.

Rooms

The house is designed in a courtyard shape featuring a central deep turquoise swimming pool. The floors and walls are light with polished white terrazzo and high ceilings are used extensively. The result is an airy, cool and fresh feel.

Living and accommodation areas are arranged around three large pavilions. The first provides a formal dining area with stunning views over the azure swimming pool in the garden to the glittering Indian Ocean beyond. Seating is flexible – either one large table for everyone or two separate configurations for adults and children. The choice is yours and the staff are more than happy to accommodate your changing requirements.

The middle pavilion provides a central chill-out area which is an ideal location for both socialising and serenity. Invisible by day, at night the fibre optics embedded in the pool mean that the stars twinkle both above and below you. Finally there is an ambalama-style bar overlooking the beach providing the perfect setting for breakfast, lunch or sundowners. Watch the sun set, glass in hand, as your children crab hunt on the beach. The view from here is magical – day or night.

In terms of accommodation Auraliya has six double bedrooms. Beachside there are two family suites, which include two double bedrooms with a conduit bathroom. The front bedrooms on either side have eight foot square family size four-poster beds. The second bedrooms to each of these family suites open on the walkways overlooking the swimming pool. One room has a double bed, the other a double and a single bed. There are two additional suites opposite the dining pavilion; one with twin four-poster beds, the other with a large double four poster bed.

All bedrooms have air-conditioning, cupboards, shelves and a built in window seat. Four of the bedrooms have electronic safes to store valuables and every bedhead is lockable. All bedrooms have spacious en suite bathrooms, tastefully designed with a white terrazzo finish and modern fittings. In every bathroom there are double basins, a bath, a shower and a central fan. Imported towel rails in each bathroom ensure that damp towels and swimsuits are dry and ready to go in no time!

Location

Auraliya is situated in Talpe on the Galle to Matara road approximately 15 minutes south of Galle. The 127km post is a great landmark opposite the Auraliya entrance and it takes about three hours to drive the 127 kilometeres from Colombo along the coastal road. You can head straight down or break your journey at a boutique hotel for lunch, visit a turtle hatchery, or a blue moonstone mine en route. We are happy to advise you on the different options. It is possible to fly down with Deccan Air whose Raytheon beachcraft lands at the nearby Koggala airstrip. This is located just ten minutes from Auraliya flying direct from Katunayake International Airport in Colombo.
