Villa
A gorgeous modern beach house with 5 bedrooms built on the largest beach, good for swimming and boogie boarding, in the Galle area about 10km from the historic Fort town and its international cricket pitch.
Three of the bedrooms (2 dbls and the kids room with 6 bunk beds) are upstairs whilst another dbl and a twin are on the ground floor. All bedrooms have air con and are ensuite.
There is a large open plan sitting / dining room at the front of the villa with views of the pool and over the garden out to sea. Off this large room is a small study with desk and WiFi. The kitchen is very much a family affair with a central ‘bar’ table for bkfast and casual meals.
There is a further air conditioned room with comfortable seating that overlooks the pool.

A stunning villa with the most amazing amenities!
Absolutely jaw dropping Villa and we all had the time of our lives enjoying it. The quality of the beds, the cleanliness, the helpfulness of the staff and the divine food were just the highlights. The pool, garden and beach were incredible and we truly had the most enjoyable stay possible! Thank you to the team :)

Skye House - Eden Villas
This house did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in we felt safe, relaxed and at home. The villa is beautifully designed, spacious, airy and well kept. The bedrooms were all well sized and beautifully decorated so we were spoilt for choice. We were 3 families with young kids so the pool, garden and beach option kept everyone entertained. The beach felt very private and you cannot beat the sound of those waved while you eat your meals. The staff were attentive and professional and our meal options were fantastic every time. We cannot wait to go back and I can honestly say we all fell in love with the place from the get go. Thoroughly recommend Skye House. Five stars.

Wonderful holiday at Skye House
Three families from 3 generations holidayed at Skye House. The beds were divine, rooms spacious and the furniture plentiful and comfortable. The staff were professional, diligent and accommodating. Sam, the chef and house manager arranged transportation, visits and provided delicious food for children and adults. Everyone agreed it was the best house ever!

Home away from home
Very rare for a place to be EXACTLY (in this case better than) like it is in the professional pictures that are uploaded on travel/hotel websites. Stunned by the beauty of the villa and its surroundings. The rooms are spacious and clean with a beautiful view of the ocean.
Bathrooms are spotless aswell. If I have to nitpick - maybe adding a health faucet/bidet in the bathrooms would be a good idea since it's in Asia and sees many footfalls from this region but this is in no way a deal breaker.
All rooms (except ofcourse the children's rooms with bunk beds) have high four poster beds that are extremely comfortable to sleep on and also equipped with a mosquito mesh (that you most likely will not need).
The team was exceptional in all regards - service, kindness and professionalism. Food was fantastic and Chef Sam keeps all the bills and is very forthcoming with costs and accounts. Sameera was very handy with the vodka based cocktails. The kitchen and housekeeping support staff are extremely accommodating with requests and they do it with a smile :)
Do visit Sky House - you will only be happier for it!

Sri Lankan Paradise
We visited Skye House as part of a larger family gathering in February and our expectations were far exceeded.
It is a beautiful villa with ample space for 4 families, the highlights are - great communal areas, excellent pool, lovely playground and large garden, it’s right on the beach, has a snooker table on the upstairs balcony and a tv room downstairs to let the kids wind down after a long day playing in the surf.
The villa comes with full staff, the villa manager and head chef Sam, could not have been more accommodating or flexible in our requests. With the help of Chandana, their food was outstanding, from Sri Lankan specialities to international cuisine.
His staff were always on hand and able to help, Menaka and Eranga were excellent stewards and available throughout the day whilst Disna, Kalyani and Saman looked after the upkeep of the house and the garden daily.
Sam is able to arrange any excursions and has a fleet of tuk-tuk drivers on hand to ferry you to or from various places. There is a turtle hatchery 3 doors down from the villa that was very interesting and Pearl Divers was an excellent dive centre 15 minutes away.
There is a security guard 24/7 and at night an extra one patrols the grounds, which made us feel very safe.
My family would not hesitate to recommend this villa and will definitely be making a return trip.

The most exquisite catered villa you could dream of!
We booked Skye House for a family reunion to celebrate my 70th and two of the grandkid’s birthdays in the same week. Kids live in Oz/UAE/UK.
We had high expectations from the brochure but they were far exceeded in reality! You will not be disappointed if you book.
We were 4 couples, 4 4+ children and a 2 year old. The 4 double rooms are all similar so no spats over allocation. One has a separate room that can be curtained off for a child/baby. The 7 bed dormitory is ideal for 4+ to teenage kids.
The 8 staff led by Chef Sam are all excellent. Professional, friendly and always go above and beyond to satisfy your needs. Sam is both an exceptional team leader and chef. His food is scrumptious and varied. Anything you want is never too much trouble. The suggested daily menus are all excellent and he varied them to cater for those that suffer from allergies/fussyness!
The position on the coast is perfect and the pool/playground/gardens are very spacious with good privacy. They are maintained to a very high standard daily by Saman.
The owners,Eden Properties, were most helpful. Initially we dealt with Jack Eden who then passed us onto the ubiquitous Udeshika who made our planning very smooth in an efficient and friendly manner.
It was exceptional value for money and one I have no hesitation in recommending.

Amazing time at Skye House
We are just back from a fantastic two weeks in Sri Lanka over new year. It is an incredible county and a wonderful time to visit. A brilliant experience for our children who are 9 and 6. There is so much to do from surfing to safaris. Stunning countryside and beaches, insane food and lovely people. We spent the final week at Skye House with two other families with similar aged children. What a place to stay. Beautiful villa, so much space, wonderful pool and garden going on to the beach. The rooms are all big and we had 6 kids in the dorm no prob. Sam and his team looked after us brilliantly. The food was delicious. We had an England vs Sri Lanka cricket match on the lawn where the home team were very generous in their bowling to the kids. You can body board in the sea right in front of the villa and there are great beaches for swimming and surfing close by. Amazing. We will be back!

Stunning beach location - perfect for large families and friends.
I just wanted to write and thank you so much for all your hospitality and support whilst we were at Sky House. We had the most wonderful time; the staff were fantastic, very ably led by Sam and Dai and the villa was absolutely perfect for a large group like ourselves. Please do pass our thanks on to them all. We had lots of room to spread out and were all very comfortable and I thought the location was perfect. The beach was very quiet, and the waves on the beach calmed perfectly and so we were also able to surf and swim in the sea for the latter half of the week as well as enjoying the villa as the perfect base to explore the area. A beautiful country and we will hopefully be back soon.

If Carlsberg did villas... beachside and beautiful
This place is INSANE!!! Skye House is quite frankly the ultimate. Situated on the best beach in Sri Lanka the house is utterly breathtaking. Fully staffed (you will want for nothing) - beachside and beautiful. On arrival you will be greeted by a full complement of staff who will literally look after your every need. An excellent villa for young ones too with a beautiful bunk room and a menu that can be adapted to suit all. You're also only 20 minutes from Galle, near the surf centre of Welligama and have a host of activities on your doorstep. Highly recommend an early morning bike ride with Idle Bikes, a tuk-tuk to Galle Fort, an in-house massage, a trip to the temple and swimming with turtles at Wijaya. Skye House really is the best of its kind. Book through the very excellent Eden Villas (Jack) - who will ensure all your needs/transfers etc are met. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Skye House.. does it get any better?
What an amazing, beautiful place to stay for a family vacation. The villa itself is heaven, the rooms are air-conditioned and bathrooms are very spacious, and the decor is beautiful. It is a perfect location on one of the best beaches on the south coast.
The staff were absolutely fantastic, if there were any problems with anything it was attended to immediately with the wonderful Sri Lankan smile. With a family of 5 we had no issues at all in Sri Lanka, transfers worked well, food was excellent, surf was solid and we will be back soon!
