Kings Palm Villa  

In Talpe on Sri Lanka’s south coast, a short hop from Unawatuna in the Galle District. Walking distance to Unawatuna Beach and Mihiripenna Beach, and close to Yatagala Raja Maha Viharaya and the Japanese Peace Pagoda. Easy access to the town center.

A small, intimate villa with six guestrooms that feels more like a private hideaway. Rooms include shower/tub combinations, desks and ceiling fans, with limited housekeeping. The property mixes chill communal spots — a bar, restaurant, massage room, library and BBQ area — with activity options like a diving club and bike rentals.

Onsite massages and a diving club, plus a bar and restaurant for easy evenings. Library, BBQ and picnic areas, bicycles to rent and tour assistance for local excursions. Practical extras: free self-parking, an ATM, laundry and dry-cleaning, car rental and safe-deposit boxes; staff can arrange transfers and an airport shuttle for a surcharge.

Complimentary wireless internet and private check-in/check-out. Front desk and shuttle services operate on limited hours or by request.

An on-site restaurant and bar serve meals and drinks, with room service available during limited hours. Perfect for relaxed pre- or post-beach dining.
