Chandolu

Chandolu is a three-bedroom house inside the walls of Galle Fort with one of the best sunset views in the Fort: a private roof terrace looking west over the ramparts to the ocean. Close the front door and you step into a cool, open-plan home built around a courtyard and plunge pool, with the Fort’s cafés, galleries and restaurants a short walk away.

Living spaces and pool

The open-plan house faces the ocean, so sea breezes move through the rooms. The courtyard plunge pool is the place to cool off by day, and the roof terrace is the place for sundowners.

Staff and services

A housekeeper cleans and makes breakfast, which is included. For other meals you can cook in the fully equipped kitchen or walk out to the Fort’s many restaurants.

Location: Galle Fort
