15 minutes from Galle (the home of the ancient Dutch fort), across rice paddies the Idle Retreat is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Tucked away on a hill looking over Sri Lanka’s gorgeous landscape, it allows you to really appreciate that you are somewhere special. Some of the best beaches in the south are within 15 minutes tuk tuk drive. |

The two double ensuite bedrooms open up revealing gorgeous views of the gardens. Lying in the four poster master bed, you can look through the archway, out over the planted tea down to rice paddies. The tea surrounds the villa, as well as coffee bushes, mango trees and pepper vines – if you have soft spot for freshly grown pepper this is the house for you. |
