Location
Set just outside Galle, Armitage Hill is a 20-acre 19th century tea & rubber planters' estate that has been transformed into a secluded luxury holiday compound by world-renowned Aman Resorts architect Kerry Hill.
Armitage Hill has a 200 year history and has featured in numerous guide books to Sri Lanka. The original plantation home has had a number of notable occupants. For a period (1840-1880) it was owned by the Ephraim family who were the proprietors of the New Oriental Hotel, now Amangalla, situated in Galle Fort. The property's subsequent development over the past 30 years by architect Kerry Hill forms part of an important architectural legacy. It has been written about extensively in architectural books and publications, and regularly hosts visiting architects and university students.
A serene secluded sanctuary set on 20 acres, Armitage Hill is only 7.5kms from the UNESCO listed Galle Fort and just a short drive to beautiful white sand beaches.
Built as a collection of separate pavilion buildings centered around the original plantation house built in 1820 - forming a compound of five very separate bedrooms with en-suites, numerous large living and communal areas, courtyards, a dining pavilion designed to comfortably seat 20 guests, a 70ft pool and large pool pavilion plus kitchen and separate staff buildings. All buildings are set high up on a hill, over looking vast flood plains with views to Adam's Peak from the verandah of the main house to the North and the winding river Gin to the South.
