Chalcedony

Built over five floors, Chalcedony is a lovely hilltop villa nestled along Sri Lanka's pristine south coast, offering a picturesque retreat, perfect for families and groups of friends seeking a blend of comfort and natural beauty. This five-bedroom haven is one of three properties on a small private estate, each boasting breathtaking panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. With spacious rooms, an infinity pool, and direct access to a swim-friendly beach, Chalcedony provides an idyllic setting for a memorable holiday. The villa's standout features include a dedicated cook service, excellent staff, and easy access to superb local restaurants.

Inside, the villa boasts chic, airy interiors that seamlessly fuse Sri Lankan antiques with Indian fabrics and local handwoven jute rugs. The design, inspired by traditional Swahili architecture, creates a harmonious atmosphere throughout. Each of the five en-suite bedrooms is generously sized and tastefully styled, complete with its own verandah offering extraordinary ocean views. The formal living room exudes laid-back elegance, providing the perfect backdrop for relaxed socialising. For further relaxation, a poolside massage room is complete with candles, incense, and the services of the island's best massage therapist.

Outside, the majestic infinity pool takes centre stage, flanked by graceful columns and bordered by a low, cushion-clad seating area. The rooftop serves as a breezy lounge area, ideal for yoga, meditation, or simply enjoying morning coffee with a view. Guests can savour delicious meals prepared by the villa's chef in the garden dining pavilion or on the dining deck under the stars. Just a short walk away, the idyllic 'Jungle Beach' offers opportunities for snorkelling, intermediate surfing, or simply lounging on the sandy shore. For any keen explorers, the villa's concierge can arrange various activities, from whale watching to safaris, and visits to local attractions in Galle, Weligama, or even further afield.
