Teardrop Enters Luxury Villa Market with Two Properties in Galle Fort, Sri Lanka

Dark/Light Mode (14/06/23)  Teardrop Hotels’, a Sri Lanka-based hospitality company, has entered the luxury villa rental market with Teardrop Villas.

The first villas in the portfolio are the iconic 41 and 42 Lighthouse Street villas, located in the heart of UNESCO World Heritage Site Galle Fort.

Once voted by UK Tatler as Galle’s ‘sexiest’ villa, 41 Lighthouse Street is a three-bedroom villa which can accommodate a maximum of 7 guests.

Having undergone a 3-year renovation, the two-floor villa features one of the largest swimming pools in the area, and an intimate base from which to explore Asia’s only living fort.

Originally the home of an 18th century Dutch merchant, 42 Lighthouse Street is a grand four-bedroom villa complete with elegant living spaces curated for an intimate and stylish holiday which can accommodate a maximum of 10 guests.

Highlights include watching the world go by on the veranda, or heading upstairs to the sky terrace for sunset views over the Galle Fort ramparts and Indian Ocean.

Like the rest of the Teardrop Hotels portfolio, both the villas showcase the best of historic Sri Lankan architecture, modern interior design and the unobtrusive service one would expect with a luxury private villa rental.

“We are thrilled to have launched Teardrop Villas with two stunning properties which are close to our hearts,” said Henry Fitch, CEO of Teardrop. “We've seen a growing trend in families that are looking for exclusive use villas in the south, and 41 and 42 Lighthouse Street fit the bill perfectly. These two villas are just the beginning of a collection of holiday homes that will stand out and elevate the luxury villa experience in Sri Lanka. We believe that this collection will also bring the most unique and memorable experiences to friends or families travelling through Sri Lanka together.”

Teardrop Hotels' portfolio includes Lunuganga, the country estate of Geoffrey Bawa, Wallawwa, a centuries-old manor house converted to a stylish, boutique hotel near the island’s international airport, the magical Fort Bazaar in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Galle Fort.

Kumu Beach, a 10-bedroom beach hotel 20km North of Galle and a collection of ‘Tea Planters’ bungalows near Dickoya, Nuwara Eliya, Ella and Kandy.

Acclaimed for their contemporary take on centuries-old heritage buildings and vintage tea bungalows with views in distinct regions across the island, Teardrop’s luxury hotels in Sri Lanka are defined by each destination and encourage guests to explore, experience and shape your own Sri Lanka story.
