Built in the late 1860s by a Scottish spice merchant this hilltop mansion that overlooks Galle harbour would have allowed the owner to see clippers arriving from his native Scotland. Continuing to enjoy the same views The Sun House has recently undergone extensive restoration and now unquestionably heads the boutique hotel scene in Sri Lanka. "A 6 room jewel of a hotel which feels like the home of impeccably stylish, charming friends" Traveller Magazine. The discerning traveller will find this unique colonial stop a peaceful retreat and an elegant house with discreet surroundings and efficient service. "Such taste and tranquillity with warm hosts, all I have to do is find someone who deserves a honeymoon here".  |  |
All rooms are furnished with antique 4-poster beds, have en suite bathrooms with showers and overhead fans that combined with the cool air flowing up from the Indian Ocean keep the rooms cool. There are 6 rooms in all, gracefully led by The Cinnamon Suite that comprises the whole of the first floor with private sitting room / library. The sitting room looks east and offers the early riser with a spectacular sunrise over the distant hills and jungle. At the west end of the suite a private balcony provides the perfect place for sundowners. The suite has been described as one of the most beautiful rooms in the world by Conde Nast Traveller Magazine. The Sun House is managed by food enthusiasts who have lived in Europe and Asia and with a daily changing menu all meals are made using fresh produce. The managers will discuss with you each morning what will be your pleasure for lunch and dinner. The Sun House is a joy to all the senses so whether you are seeking a rest from the roads whilst travelling the island or you want to only stay in one hotel for your whole holiday, this must be it.
