Doornberg, a historic villa dating back to 1712, offers an unparalleled experience perched atop Richmond Hill in Galle, Sri Lanka. This meticulously preserved estate spans an acre of manicured lawns, commanding stunning 180-degree views of the UNESCO-heritage Galle Fort and the expansive Indian Ocean beyond.
Originally built for a Dutch admiral, Doornberg seamlessly blends its rich heritage with modern comforts. The villa features a central great room with lofty ceilings, adorned with contemporary art from Sri Lankan, Chinese, and Australian artists. Each of the four master suites offers garden access, air conditioning, and elegantly restored Dutch beds with custom-made mattresses.
The villa’s architectural splendor includes Palladio columns, original terracotta roofing, and deep verandahs opening onto a tranquil grassed courtyard shaded by a majestic Rose Apple tree. The expansive grounds lead to a secluded 16-meter swimming pool, surrounded by lush tropical foliage and a towering mango tree.
Doornberg Colonial Villa offers intimate spaces for relaxation and contemplation, including a library stocked with books on art and architecture, complemented by artworks like an acrylic piece by Australian artist Marisa Purcell. Guests can dine in the indoor dining room amidst exquisite design and art, or enjoy al fresco meals in the courtyard with breathtaking views of the villa’s timeless architecture and verdant gardens.
Conveniently located near Galle Fort and just a short drive from Unawatuna Beach, Doornberg provides a serene retreat immersed in history yet accessible to Southern Sri Lanka’s cultural and natural attractions.
