On arrival we were met by the friendly staff, who made us feel very welcome. The house was clean, modern & comfortably furnished, and all the bedrooms, which were very roomy, looked out onto the pool. If you needed the shops you could pop into Galle (by car), which was only a few minutes drive away.
The beach, located at the end of the garden, was amazing. It was so deserted, almost like having your own private beach. The sea was turquoise & the sand golden. If you didn’t wish to venture onto the beach you could sit at the breakfast bar & enjoy the view, or in the evening enjoy a drink watching the sun go down on the horizon.
Overall it was a very relaxing holiday, and a great destination to go to with friends and/or family.

A perfect luxury beach house in a paradise island. This gorgeous villa comes with numerous friendly staff to cater to all your needs. The villa is fabulously and styled, with all the necessary modcons including wireless. This would be a fantastic villa in any location but is truely paradise being located on one of the best beaches near Galle, with a coral reef protecting the beach, so safe for swimming even for young children, and great snorkling on the door step. On the doorstep there are miles of pristine beaches, and inland lush greenery for bike rides or scenic tours. The historic town of Galle is a few kilometers away.
Paradise for anyone but a perfect family villa as plenty of space, pool, large grass area and a child-friendly beach – and a great restaurant 2 mins down the beach.
No faults at all.

This home had been described to us by friends but nothing prepared us for the absolute beauty of the place. The rooms are simple but exquisitely decorated. They are bright and airy with a breeze blowing from the ocean which is literally on the doorstep. Every room has a huge bathroom with large ceiling fans keeping them cool.
Really nothing seems to have been forgotten with regard to comfort and being made to feel ‘at home’ The sea is clear, warm and a delight for children. The pool is an integral part of the area which is also a huge bonus with children. There is also a tv room should it be needed.
Every whim was attended to, quickly and very cheerfully by the fabulous staff there. The chef provided us with wonderful, tasty meals made from locally bought produce. Galle, a fascinating small historic town is close by and there are great cycle rides through the surrounding countryside.
For us the greatest thing about the place was being able to totally relax in such a beautiful environment with no hassles, but friendly faces there when you needed them. The worst thing about the place is leaving it!!!

Our stay at Auraliya could not have been more perfect: the house is a brilliant design, it’s comfortable, simple, tasteful, extremely quiet and the setting, a few feet away from the ocean, is an image from Paradise.
The staff was extraordinarily helpful, discrete and kind, and the food was simply sublime. It felt as familiar and warm as does one’s idea of the perfect place to be.
Galle is a lovely town to explore. And it was such a delight to go “home” after a few hours, to be greeting by Ganesh protecting the serene walls of one of the loveliest houses we had ever stayed in.
The owners have worked so hard to make everything seamless, accessible and easy, to anticipate any problem (we encountered none), and to ensure Auraliya is as much of a haven for visitors as it is for them.

We have stayed many times at Auraliya now and each time it exceeds our expectations. The property, the views, the staff, the food … just magic.
Being so close to the beach, having a beautiful pool and wonderful gardens make staying at Auraliya such a pleasure. The rooms are modern and spacious. The beds are big and comfortable and the bathrooms are magnificient.
Not only Auraliya but also the wonderful environment of Fort Galle with its stylish colonial architecture, Dutch-English history, boutique hotels and restaurants, surf beaches and inland rice paddies makes this a place where we always want to come back to.
Sri Lanka and certainly Galle and its surroundings offer so much more than places like Phuket or Bali and is still so undiscovered…
