Ivory House

Details

Tucked into the vibrant paddy fields of Galle, Ivory House combines cutting edge design with Dutch colonial style to create a villa that is both chic and comfortable. There are two beautiful master suites and two equally impressive queen bedrooms with overhead fans and air con. All are en suite, three with indoor/outdoor bathrooms. Large retractable shutters surround the house and open out onto the paddy, allowing the beautiful rural scene to flow in with the cooling breeze. The enticing 20m pool accommodates all; those looking to relax, refresh and submerge or the more energetic length-types. The pavilion maximizes time spent poolside with a BBQ, shade, shower and bathroom facilities.

Given 5/5 by S and G Thompson from the United Kingdom

Happy New Year! We had a fabulous time ,
the villa and the setting were beautiful and the team were wonderful - faultless , the food delicious - I could go on!

We left with heavy hearts! I am sure I will return before the year is out !

Given 5/5 by A & B Schnabel from Belgium

The villa has everything going for it in terms of design, facilities, location, etc but in our opinion the real success factor is due to the 4 primary staff. They all fulfil what one would expect their job descriptions to require but in our opinion it is they who deliver the real Sri Lankan holiday experience. We came away with such a positive view of the country due, in large measure, to their contributions. Sunil and Sura are, of course, the main players but even the non English-speaking maid and gardner clearly demonstrate that they have fully absorbed the customer satisfaction culture

It is with a longing look back that we left Sri Lanka and its "Ivory House". The past two weeks are something we will remember every single second of - we quite forgot where we came from!
From Sunil the chef's mouth watering, exceptional cooking - which rivals any top London restaurant - to Suranga the house boy's five star service, we have been treated like royalty and can't express the gratitude we have for turning what is usually a dull and dreary January into an exotic feast for the senses. Talking of Sunil's cooking, if you have the chance to get in the kitchen with him, do! He is only too happy to teach you anything you may wish to learn about Sri Lankan cuisine; and don't be shy about asking Suranga to organise things like whale watching, a tuc tuc to the glorious, golden beaches or even a heavenly massage. Nothing is too much of an ask for him.
Special thanks must go to Kelum and Thnuja - the gardner and room lady - for constantly endeavouring our stay was as seamless and paradise-like as possible.
With lizards, monkeys, kingfishers and chipmunks to view in their natural habitat, "Ivory House" has been one of our most memorable holidays and though we were sad to leave, we did so happy, incredibly well rested, with full bellies and full hearts.

Thank You!!

Everything at the house was absolutely perfect.

The villa is beautiful, and the staff is very friendly and helpful, especially Sunil and Soranga. They really made us feel at home. We had a wonderful trip.

We had a wonderful time at Ivory House thank you. Each and every member of staff looked after us quite beautifully. The house was perfectly kept and looked after too, as was the lovely pool and garden.

We loved Sunil’s food – It was exceptionally good and he was very happy to cook lots of different Sri Lankan recipes for us every day. We had some exceptionally delicious breakfasts, and he was kind enough to teach me lots of recipes, which I can’t wait to make here at home. What a delightful, charming man he is. He very kindly bought me a hopper pan and we had egg hoppers and seeni symbol for breakfast this morning!

We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay at Ivory House more, or been looked after better. Thank you!

Ivory House is absolutely superb. We were a group of 5 girls coming in from all over the world for a girls trip. Eden Villas helped us organise all of our logistics, he was super quick with email and other communication. The house is gorgeous! The pictures do not do it justice ! Its so much more beautiful in person. It offers so much privacy. The house is very well maintained by the staff. The in-house chef served us gourmet food. It was some of the best food we had in Sri Lanka. If you are planning a trip to Galle, please consider staying here, you will have a great stay!”

“Ivory House is simply superb. The photo's actually don't do the design and quality of the house justice. It is a beautifully designed space. The staff are fantastic - really professional - we felt wonderfully spoilt, and no request was too difficult. The house is in a lovely secluded location overlooking rice paddies, in a small village. Sipping our G&T's in the evening, listening to the sounds of the village intermingled with the sounds of the tropics was truly memorable. Despite the feeling of seclusion, it is easy to get to many beaches and into Galle via tuk tuk. We stayed for around a week, as two families (4 adults and 4 kids -6,8,10,13), and there was more than enough space for us all. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ivory House. If you are looking for a really special villa in this part of Sri Lanka, you've found it. You will not be disappointed.”

The Ivory Villa was spectacularly beautiful, located in lush green landscape away from the hustle and bustle of the beach roads. The layout and design of the villa has been very well considered and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The decor is modern and clean, allowing the natural setting to be the hero. As most guests have mentioned, the service was outstanding and the food was incredible! Don't miss out on the egg hoppers (I am definitely taking this recipe home). It was a tranquil paradise, and I would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a jewel in the jungle.

We had the privilege to stay at Ivory House in April 2019 for 1 week. From the moment we arrived a sense of calm and tranquility passed over us all. We were welcomed with warmth and love by Sunil and Pradeep who catered to our every need. The house itself it stunning; immaculate with effortless style. The grounds are teeming with animal life that is a joy to watch from the big wide verandas, and the pool is one of the nicest I’ve had in a private villa. It is deep enough for a dive, and long enough for morning laps with the birds. I recommend staying here, and if you do, give our warmest regards to Sunil and Pradeep who felt like family by the end.

Given 5/5 by Ian Wattie from the United Kingdom

This is one of the most wonderful villas we have ever experienced. It is located about a 14 min tuk tuk ride from the beach but to be honest we stayed put in the villa for our stay there because it is just perfect. It’s an incredibly stylish, yet comfortable place set in the most peaceful private surroundings. (It’s not easy to find when you first arrive but they will send someone to the road to meet your taxi if needed). The villa team are there to look after you in a very discreet and professional way. And the food is to die for, you won’t want to eat anywhere else. 5 star experience from beginning to end.
