South Point Abbey is a restored colonial property situated by the beachside in a fishing village called Kathaluwa, just south of Koggala. The original building was constructed during the Dutch colonial period almost two centuries ago using coral and limestone. It has now been carefully restored to retain the old architectural features of verandahs, high ceilings, large airy rooms, all of which lets in plenty of fresh air, tropical sun and the ocean breeze. Located next door is the South Point Villa. |

The rooms are furnished with large four-poster beds and in one room there is a recliner that serves comfortably as a child’s bed. The rooms upstairs open out to a large covered timber deck overlooking the sea. The timber flooring upstairs adds to the warm ambience of this villa, whilst the aged terracotta flooring in the ground floor feels cool and relaxing to your feet.
FacilitiesFacilities The living room and the den are furnished comfortably with many places to flop down and relax. The bookshelves are well stocked with interesting titles. There is satellite TV and a DVD player for in-house entertainment. The downstairs terrace opens out to a garden filled with mangroves. There is also an infinity pool with beautiful views of the deep blue sea beyond. If you’re a ardent chef, the well-equipped kitchen is perfect to do your own cooking – or be pampered and just discuss your preferred menus with the in-house chef, who will gladly turn out tasty meals using fresh vegetables and sea food brought on the doorstep from the village’s fishermen. The Abbey is fully staffed including a Guest Relations Manager, who is on duty from 7am to 6.30pm daily and manages both the Abbey and South Point Villa nextdoor. Families with children are welcome here and are ensured that a perfect holiday is had by all. For parents wanting to curl up in a corner and rest, a nanny can be organized to keep the children entertained.
Excursions Excursions Just in front of the villa there is a coral reef protected bay offering safe swimming, snorkeling and diving. A boat can be rented from Mirissa for those interested in day or night fishing. An experienced fisherman will accompany you to ensure safety. Surfing in Unawatuna or a boat ride in Koggala Lake with its many islands and numerous species of birds, are all just a few minutes walk away from the Abbey. A 15-minute drive will take you to the historical city of Galle, with its Dutch Fort, a UNESCO-protected World Heritage site and a melting pot of cultural influences. Explore the ramparts overlooking the cricket stadium, the lighthouse staring into the Indian Ocean, its narrow streets, interesting antique shops, restaurants and boutique hotels full of character.

Visitors Most Rated Property of the Sri Lanka ..
The most picturesque in the world. Soft sound of waves lapping in to the beach, endless strip of white sandy beaches.
Sri Lanka's famous historical sites have become the staple of many a travel programme - Sigiriya.
The Sri Lankan highlands enhance the country's richly-varied landscape. Only a few hours from the coast, here is a land of rushing waterfalls.
