79 Leyn Baan is a colonial-style villa set within the historic walls of Galle Fort, in Galle City. It offers an intimate, heritage-led stay for travellers who want to be inside the Fort itself rather than looking in from outside it.
The villa sits on Leyn Baan Street, a short walk from the lighthouse, the ramparts and the Fort's quieter lanes, with museums, galleries and cafés close by. Rooms are offered in Standard, Superior and Deluxe categories, each with air conditioning and an en-suite bathroom.
Guests have use of a rooftop terrace looking towards the lighthouse and the Indian Ocean, and an enclosed courtyard with a decorative pond that doubles as a dining space. Indoors there are lounges with satellite TV and a kitchen, and a housekeeper on hand to help with breakfast, cleaning and laundry.
Meals can be taken as Room Only, Bed and Breakfast, Half Board or Full Board, leaving guests free to plan their days around the Fort's ramparts, its small beaches, and the museums and workshops within walking distance of the villa.
Bookable activities, tours, and tickets within a 25 km radius.
Pre-book a private vehicle for arrival, departure, or onward travel.
