RAMPART STREET
GALLE FORT
WELCOME TO RAMPART STREET
Step into Romance & History

Long before the Galle Fort was universally acknowledged as a national treasure, there were some properties within these storied ramparts that were special enough to spark the imagination and birth a vision. This villa in Galle is one such catalyst, the first to be bought by a foreigner in the post-colonial era and one of the very first to be styled and restored into the sort of intimate, luxurious villa that Sri Lanka’s most discerning travellers have come to expect from hotels in Galle Fort.
Most recently restored by Taru Villas, this exotic location is an elegant combination of antique charm and modern amenities. A powerful design aesthetic weaves together the spirit of the old world, the magic of nature and the comforts of today.
‘Taru Villas – Rampart Street’ is also one of the few properties within the entirety of the Galle Fort that provides the luxury of a private swimming pool. Another highlight of this small hotel is undoubtedly our delectable cuisine.
As always at Taru Villas, the staff at this Galle villa are unobtrusive but attentive, paying attention to the little things that are bound to make an enjoyable stay, truly memorable.

Taru Villas’ Breakfasts, BBQs and Sri Lankan dishes are always favourites, and we have plenty of contemporary international fare to tempt you. After a hot, adventurous day sightseeing in this historic Fort, return to Taru Villas to cool off in the pool and treat yourself to a ‘sundowner’ cocktail, followed by a delicious dinner.
Our chef is keen to satisfy a range of taste preferences, so if you don’t find what you want on the menu, please let him know and he will adapt accordingly. If you chose to book out the whole villa, your entire menu can be pre-set before your arrival. As we are a Full Service hotel, we appreciate that food bought outside is not consumed within our villa.
