Welcome to Seven Pillars Galle Fort – An oasis in the heart of the vibrant Galle fort! Over the past three decades, I’ve lived in more than seven countries. My love for travel and culture has shaped not only who I am, but how I welcome guests. Though I now split my time between Sri Lanka and Australia, it’s Galle Fort that truly feels like home, and I return to it every few months. At Seven Pillars Galle Fort, I’ve poured that global perspective and personal passion into creating a villa experience that’s both unique and unforgettable. This 17th-century Dutch colonial townhouse is more than just a place to stay—it’s a labour of love. I’ve personally curated each detail of the property, from the Dutch-period antique furniture, the Buddhist-inspired art that adorns the walls, lotus flowers in vases, and the sounds of flute music you wake up to each morning, to create an elegant and tranquil space to relax and unwind in. My family’s roots in Galle go back generations, to ancestors involved in the Dutch East India Company and early community development. Today, that spirit lives on not just in the villa, but in our outreach work through “Seven Pillars Gives Back,” supporting local families and small businesses. For over ten years, it’s been our joy to welcome guests into this special corner of the world. Our dedicated team, made up of long-serving staff from Galle itself, brings soul and authenticity to everything they do—from daily breakfasts lovingly prepared and presented beautifully, to helping you discover the best of the Fort. Our motto is simple: surprise and delight by over-delivering on the guest experience. We hope that when you stay with us, you don’t just fall in love with the villa—but with Galle Fort, its people, and the stories that linger in every stone.
