Exotic and Welcoming

Talpe, Sri Lanka

Our view

"Colonial character meets modern interior design and exceptional service at Braganza House in Talpe on Sri Lanka’s southwest coast, not far from the UNESCO-protected Galle Fort. Braganza House is serenely stylish with a contemporary aesthetic, set back from the beach with a continual soundtrack of birdsong. The curvy pool with its adjoining bar is an idyllic place to stay awhile or you can head out for a bike ride through the paddy fields or surf the breaks of the Indian Ocean."

The Villa Experience

One of Sri Lanka’s most stylish villas, Braganza House is a beautiful home that simultaneously celebrates Dutch Sri Lankan architecture with the artistry of tropical modernism. Above all, Braganza simply creates a wonderful place to stay, surrounded by exotic greenery and a team of friendly staff well-equipped to deal with your every need. Dining is a highlight here, and a chance to sample a variety of Sri Lankan dishes. Breakfast is a delicious selection of tropical fruit, local curd yoghurt and egg hoppers (bowl-shaped pancakes) and a traditional spread of ‘rice and curry’ for dinner is a must – allow the chef to show his range with countless dishes that all taste different. As lovely as your home is, you will want to explore – temples, tea estates, surf-crested waves and visits to Galle are all reachable. Come home for massages, cookery classes or a memorable cultural performance of Kandyan folk dance.
