Sri Lanka's glowing reputation as an upmarket holiday destination has much to do with the gorgeous selection of beach villas that stud its coastline. The hub for Sri Lanka beach villas is undoubtedly the Galle Coast, which has become a magnet for wealthy visitors, but you can also find great beach villas on either side of the Galle Coast, to the south and west. Most beach villas in Sri Lanka come with an attentive but discreet staff including housekeeper, cook and gardener. Red Dot strives to include good-value beach villas in our constantly-evolving selection.
