Our stay at Merchant House was truly amazing. We were blown away when we first arrived to the property. The house is tucked away in a quiet area but is a short walk or bike ride to beaches, cafes and surf breaks.

We loved the indoor to outdoor flow of the house. The fabulous decor and attentive flourishes kept us captivated. The beautiful outdoor pool was perfect to cool off in on the warm afternoons.

The Staff were the best part of our stay. They were always friendly and attentive, and we felt at home right away. Jazmin the house manager gave us local tips on what to do and what to see and was always there to help us with information. The other staff did a meticulous job looking after the property and we enjoyed getting to know them.

The chef was fantastic! The food was outstanding, and the meals reflected the vibrant local culture. We even got a little insight into how the meals were prepared with an impromptu cooking class.

Each day we loved when the late afternoon sun filtered through the palms, the bird life visited and the G&Ts came out. It really felt like we had travelled to a distant oasis.

We will definitely be booking a trip back here the next time we’re in SL and would highly recommend staying at this gem of a villa

I had such a comfortable and luxurious stay at Merchant house, the staff were incredible ,the food delicious and the rooms so well designed, every detail has been thought of,t he location is set in the most beautiful and peaceful lush village.When inside you feel like you are in a private oasis.

Beautifully decorated and so tastefully put together. The villa has great spaces both inside and out in the garden. Thea areas to hang out around the pool feel spacious and private.
We’ve had a few meals here and the chef is very willing to please as well as talented. A special mention for the manager and host Min. She was always attentive, friendly and happy to help with anything.

Thank you Merchant House team!

This villa has it all, tasteful design, great comfort, good food, friendly and professional staff and management!
Located in Ahangama, a stretch not far from Galle which is popping with great restaurants and cafes, beautiful beaches, and this awesome villa.  Large luxury rooms and a beautiful garden allow for a private and comfortable stay.

We made the trip to Merchant House in July this year after reading the fantastic reviews on trip advisor and it did not disappoint!
As soon as we walked into the house it was a haven of pure relaxation and luxury. Min the house manager and the team of staff made us feel very welcome and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and for ease they helped us organise day trips to Galle Fort and the surrounding areas so we could explore.
The villa has everything you need and it is close proximity to a number of interesting places if you want to stretch your legs.
The highlight for us though was that we actually got engaged in Merchant House, so it is a place that will forever be etched in our happy memories! We can’t wait to return next year and continue our Sri Lanka experience.

Just returned from three fab weeks at Merchant House and haven’t felt so relaxed in years! Everything there to make your stay a memorable one with absolutely no stress or worries. Great staff and so very comfortable. Flop into the pool after a game of boules, drinks around the pool and tuk tuks to take you anywhere you fancy. Well done David and Jamie. A great success.

Merchant House is a truly beautiful place as well as being wonderfully luxurious. You won’t want to leave! You can relax by the pool, go for walks by the paddy fields, head to the idyllic beach 5 minutes’ walk away or go further afield. The staff are very professional and the chef is fabulous. A top-class time is guaranteed.

We stayed at merchant house over Christmas and new year. The place was amazing, so relaxing and staff were extremely good at looking after all your needs. Located 5 minutes from a small quiet cove beach if you can drag yourself from the stunning pool, tuk tuk’s available to take us wherever we fancied. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Thank you guys we will definitely be returning

We stayed at Merchant House for a week and didn’t want to leave. Peaceful and effortlessly luxurious, it’s positioned between beautiful beaches, village life and lush forest. We loved that they have rescued two dogs who make you feel so at home! The MH team are incredibly friendly, professional, knowledgeable on the area and super helpful. We can’t wait to go back!

We spent Christmas at Merchant House and loved every minute of it! The eye to detail was fantastic! The bedding, toiletries, furniture – everything was stunning! Every meal was deliscious and the staff were always at hand for drinks or to arrange tours/taxis. Would definitely recommend staying here and we can’t wait to return. Thanks so much for your amazing hospitality Jamie and David.
