The property has garden and city views, and is 400 metres from Dutch Church Galle. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. We loved how it was open air but protected at the same time from the rain beautiful house we felt we were on our own as we had both rooms upstairs

This elegant property is 2.8 km from Galle Light house, 2.9 km from the historical Galle Fort and 3.1 km from Dutch Church Galle. The villa is an architectural pearl. The owner and her team do everything to make you feel comfortable. If you expect sound-proof rooms, thick sink-in carpets or whiskey-tasting: this is definitely not your accommodation. If you can appreciate nice, home-made (organic) food, being part of local nature and culture, well-equipped rooms (fan, no a/c) this hide-away could enrich body, soul and positive feelings about Sri Lanka.

Adjacent to Unawatuna Beach, Sergent House is set in a boutique villa showcasing colonial architecture and originating in the 1800's. It is a three minute walk to the Unawatuna Beach and a 15 minute drive away from the historic 16th - 17th century Galle Fort. A little slice of paradise – Sergeant House Boutique Villa Staying at Sergeant House felt like entering a private oasis where every detail is designed for peace, beauty, and complete relaxation. The lush garden is a dream – full of tropical plants, elegant stone paths, and the soothing sound of nature. Monkeys leap playfully between the trees, colorful koi swim lazily in the pond alongside gentle turtles, and the entire atmosphere is one of balance and serenity. The pool is simply perfect – crystal clear and surrounded by greenery that gives you the feeling of being deep in nature, yet with all the comfort of a boutique retreat. The rooms are beautifully decorated, combining elegance with tradition, and offer total privacy and comfort. Breakfast and meals at the restaurant are a delight – fresh, flavorful, and served in a tranquil setting that makes you want to linger just a little longer each time. The staff are kind, discreet, and attentive, always ready to help with a genuine smile. Sergeant House isn’t just a place to stay. It’s a place to breathe deeply, to slow down, and to feel genuinely at home in the most beautiful way. Whatever I write feels too little – this place is an experience in itself.

Sri Lankan architectural master piece Dunes Unawatuna hotel is an eco friendly boutique hotel near the beautiful Unawatuna beach(100 meters/ 5min walk away).

Dunes has 10 garden-view ac rooms and a 2 bed room ac cottage in its peaceful and tranquil setting. Comfortable, clean hotel with great location near to the Unawatuna beach. The staff was polite and helpful. I would say it was one of the best hotels we stayed at in Sri Lanka. We had a room with a king-size bed.

A short 1-minute walk from Bentota Beach, Club Villa provides an outdoor pool and massage treatments. Its air-conditioned rooms are decorated with handwoven batiks and paintings. Free Wi-Fi is available in public areas. It really felt like going back in time; beautifully decorated by Geoffrey Bawa giving the typical tropical movement vibe. Very tranquil place, the garden is stunning, breakfast delicious and you have the luxury of the swimming pool and just a 5 minute walk away also the quiet beach. The train running through the garden only every once in a while makes it extra special. The noise never bothered me while I am a light sleeper (as of midnight until +/- 05:00 the train doesn't pas by anymore anyway). There are many guests who have been coming back for years. That already says enough. The staff is incredibly friendly. Absolutely loved it here, thank you for this special experience and truly hope to come back in the future!
