Medusa Bungalow is not just a property; it's a living testament to Sri Lankan heritage. Standing strong for over 200 years, this colonial marvel in Galle is steeped in history and tradition, having witnessed epochs, tales, and legacies. Upon entering, one is instantly captivated by interiors adorned with expensive antiques, each piece echoing stories of grandeur from bygone eras. The craftsmanship of yesteryears meets modern comforts, ensuring a luxurious stay while relishing the allure of the past. Positioned perfectly, Medusa Bungalow offers easy access to the vibrant beaches and nightlife of Unawatuna, just 15 minutes away. Meanwhile, the historic Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a mere 20-minute journey, providing guests with a seamless blend of relaxation and exploration. But the heart and soul of this property lie in its roots. My great-grandfather, the first owner of this enchanting abode, was a revered Ayurvedic doctor, known far and wide for treating patients afflicted by snake bites. This legacy of healing and well-being has been carefully preserved and enhanced. During the recent pandemic, we took the opportunity to fully renovate Medusa Bungalow. The gardens were lovingly nurtured, now radiating healing vibes, offering a sanctuary for guests to rejuvenate both body and spirit. Each room, each corner, and even the gentle breeze whisper tales of love, care, and healing. From the plunge pool surrounded by nature's serenade to the fully-equipped modern kitchen and the dedicated office space, every amenity ensures a stay that's both memorable and comfortable. Amidst the bustle of Galle, Medusa Bungalow stands as an oasis of tranquility, history, and luxury. It's not just a stay; it's an experience—a journey through time, nature, and unparalleled Sri Lankan hospitality.
Hello! I'm Hasitha Dias, a passionate architect with a keen eye for sustainable construction and a heart deeply connected to the pristine waters of Sri Lanka. Growing up between the vibrant coastal towns of Hikkaduwa and Unawatuna, the rhythm of the waves has always been my guiding beat. Diving and water sports aren't just hobbies for me – they're a way of life, an embodiment of my love for the endless blue. At the helm of Medusa Bungalow in Galle, a 200-year-old colonial masterpiece, I've harmoniously woven my passion for history with my commitment to eco-tourism and wellness tourism. Every brick, every beam, and every corner of this abode resonates with stories of yesteryears and a promise of a sustainable future. The gentle hum of the tropical jungle and the historic whispers of the bungalow converge to offer our guests an experience unparalleled in depth and warmth. But Medusa Bungalow is more than just my vision; it's brought to life every day by a young, hardworking team that shares my ethos and enthusiasm. Together, we're dedicated to ensuring every guest not only has a comfortable stay but also a profound journey into Sri Lanka's culture, nature, and well-being. With an upcoming Superhost badge on Airbnb and a profound desire to share the beauty of Galle, I invite you to immerse in an authentic Sri Lankan experience. Whether it's diving deep into the ocean's mysteries, exploring the intricacies of sustainable living, or simply relaxing amidst nature's embrace, we're here to make your dream vacation a reality. Dive in, explore, rejuvenate, and let's create beautiful memories together at Medusa Bungalow.
In the idyllic outskirts of Galle, the neighborhood surrounding Medusa Bungalow offers a beautiful blend of Sri Lankan rural charm and heartwarming community spirit. Here, every path tells a story and every face beams with genuine warmth. Directly next to our bungalow, resides a retired English teacher, embodying the rich educational traditions of Sri Lanka. With years of knowledge and tales to share, our neighbor epitomizes the very soul of our close-knit community, one that values education, history, and the simple joys of life. Step out of the villa's front, and you'll be greeted by the serene expanse of a paddy field. These verdant fields not only paint a picture of tranquility but also represent the deep agricultural roots of the village. As the seasons change, so does the canvas of these fields, showcasing a dance of nature and hard work that yields the staple grain of our nation. Nestled within a farming village, Medusa Bungalow finds itself amidst a community where every day is a testament to the harmonious blend of nature and mankind. Whether it's the rhythmic sounds of farming, the distant laughter of children playing, or the melodious chants from a nearby temple, the air is always thick with a sense of belonging. But what truly sets our neighborhood apart is the genuine love for hospitality. Here, hospitality isn't just a trait; it's a way of life. Every individual, every family, welcomes visitors with open arms and heartfelt smiles. The community takes pride in sharing their culture, traditions, and stories, ensuring that every guest leaves with a piece of our village etched in their hearts. So, as you find solace and luxury within the walls of Medusa Bungalow, step out and immerse yourself in the rhythms of our neighborhood. Experience the authenticity of Sri Lanka, where every moment is a memory, and every face a friend.
