Pool villa · Unawatuna · Galle
A villa in the spirit of old Ceylon
Turquoise shutters, a terracotta roof and a lamp-lit pool — between Unawatuna’s beaches and Galle Fort.
Welcome to Sekku House
Sekku House is a two-storey villa on Heenatigala Road in Unawatuna, in the style of the old Ceylon bungalows: timber balconies with turquoise railings, a steep terracotta roof, and white arches opening onto a garden pool.
Inside, it is cool and unhurried — white walls, polished cement floors, antique timber wardrobes and local paintings. Three air-conditioned bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, a living room, a fitted kitchen and a long veranda for slow breakfasts and late suppers.

Good to know
How far is Sekku House from Galle Fort?
Galle Fort is about 4.2 km from the villa as the crow flies, a short tuk-tuk or taxi ride along the coast road. That makes Sekku House a quiet, green base for days in the Fort's lanes, ramparts, lighthouse and museums, with the pool to come back to in the afternoon heat.
