    We had a great time at Apa villa. Small place with only 7 rooms. Excellent food. Very hospitable staff. Walking distance to a couple of nice eateries for a change. Rooms are very spacious

Apa Villa Thalpe is simply stunning. Just 8km east of Sri Lanka's historic UNESCO-listed fortress port of Galle, Apa Thalpe is at once elegant, discreet and a retreat by some of the world's most gorgeous beaches. Three distinctive villas house seven sumptuous suites, where the mood is stylish and leisurely as you ease into swimwear or a sarong to enjoy the seaside garden, our superb cuisine and our famous infinity pool by the Indian Ocean. Apa Thalpe evokes a gentler time, a tropical time of sun or monsoon rains, surf and splendid sunsets.
We are near Unawatuna beach which is a well famous beach for sun bathing & near by ocean is ready for surfing, swimming , fishing ,snorkling are only few things you can do & lot more things to do.
