This sprawling manor, built in the 1800s by a prominent family in the Galle district, was first occupied by a British Admiral and later by a High Court judge of the colonial era. Tamarind Hill was refurbished preserving the intricate details and style of a by-gone era - all the extensions and alterations to the property have been beautifully blended with the original main house, in keeping with the architecture and restoring it to its grand origins.

Location: Situated on a 3 acre hill with huge courtyards, sun-dappled verandahs and tropical gardens, Tamarind Hill offers the ultimate in comfort, stylish design and modern amenities, juxtaposed with the charm of a bygone era. It has arguably set a challenging new benchmark for private hotel properties in the south of Sri Lanka.

Accommodation: Tamarind Hill has 10 rooms and 2 suites, replete with twenty-first-century facilities that never obtrude on the traditional elegance and charm of your surroundings.

Facilities: The food and drink is modern rather than traditional, and of the finest quality.
