The dream of living in an idyllic, private haven in one of the country’s most prestigious property developments, located just a five-minute drive from the iconic Galle Fort, is fast becoming a reality. The process of obtaining the necessary approvals for Fairway’s Aqua Vista luxury oceanfront apartment project from the Galle Municipal Council and all other statutory authorities – including the Central Environmental Authority, the Coastal Conservation Department and the Urban Development Authority – has been completed within the projected time frame of two years. Now homeowners can anticipate experiencing an exclusive lifestyle in a spectacular location in Galle – the focal point of the Southern Riviera, with its unique blend of charm, culture and oceanfront living. 

Inspired by the magnificent Galle Fort – which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site – Fairway’s Aqua Vista, which is located atop a cliff, offers state-of-the-art living spaces carefully positioned to highlight breathtaking views of the ocean and sunsets that will never lose their appeal.

All efforts have been made to minimise the environmental impact with the use of eco-friendly materials. The apartments will be provided with energy-efficient LED lights and water saving systems. 

Two high speed elevators will serve the homeowners with one being a stretcher elevator with provision for a medical emergency. Telecommunication will be provided through a high speed FTTH internet connection and there will be a television system with provisions for cable TV and local TV channels. There will be provision for electrical vehicle charging at every car port with a limited number of additional car ports available for purchase.
