About this property
The Well House Galle offers a peaceful tropical villa stay in Unawatuna.
You are invited to join the queue at The Well House gate and participate in a little known piece of the history of Galle. The traditional architecture of the Dutch Colonial time, contained a secret only known to the local village.
Situated overlooking Bonavista bay with its very own private beach, the puzzle of the well remains a mystery. It is the only fresh drinking water well that has never run dry or developed a salt content in the local area. Over a century of service began with the creation of a fresh water well by a merchant family who produced coconut oil in a factory that became one of the largest in Galle.
Don’t rush by to find another outstanding villa. Pause and drink, stay and chat, as the locals and an ex-pat community of artists, actors, musicians, singers and internationally acclaimed architects namely Knut Husebø, Duran Duran, Anne Grete Preus have done before you. The Well House stream of living water is here to connect you into the relaxing renewal of tropical paradise.
