A home unlike any other

Nestled within the UNESCO Galle Fort, one of the oldest living forts in the world, No. 77 Leyn Baan is situated just a 2-hour drive away from Bandaranaike International Airport. For those seeking a more scenic route, guests have the option to embark on a seaplane transfer to Koggala, or indulge in a picturesque hour-long helicopter ride.

Behind the doors of No. 77 Leyn Baan lies a residence shaped by more than 120 years of life, architecture, and quiet grandeur. Its arched interiors, open courtyards, traditional masonry, and carefully preserved details reflect the layered character of Galle Fort, where cultures, craftsmanship, and coastal history have met over generations.

Thoughtfully restored as a luxury boutique residence, the villa offers a rare sense of privacy within one of Sri Lanka’s most atmospheric historic settings. Here, every corner carries a sense of place, from the stillness of its courtyards to the elegance of its living spaces, creating a stay that feels intimate, refined, and deeply connected to the Fort’s enduring story.
