A Peaceful Hillside Sanctuary Above Historic Galle.
Secluded hillside breezes, handcrafted teak suites, and five-minute effortless access to the UNESCO Galle Fort and ocean ramparts.
Where Colonial Heritage Meets Quiet Hillside Serenity.
Historic Galle Fort is vibrant, sunlit, and alive with centuries of maritime history. Yet, when the day draws to a close, true luxury is having a quiet sanctuary to retreat to — where you can listen to the rustling of tropical trees rather than street traffic.
Situated along elevated Upper Dickson Road, Villa Hima Arana was created as a peaceful boutique haven for travelers who appreciate thoughtful architecture, genuine Sri Lankan warmth, and calm open spaces.
Each suite features its own dedicated entrance, high ceilings, modern air conditioning, and a private terrace or balcony. Whether enjoying morning Ceylon tea overlooking the frangipani garden or taking a midday dip in our courtyard plunge pool, every corner is designed for deep rest.
