Boasting a garden, Small House Boutique Guest House is a guest house set in a historic building in the centre of Galle, close to Lighthouse Beach. 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. I had a wonderful stay at Small House Boutique Guest House in Galle. The place is absolutely charming — a cute, cozy house with beautiful décor and such a peaceful vibe. The room was spotless, comfortable, and full of thoughtful touches that made it feel like home. A special thank you to Rumeshika, who was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. Her warmth and care truly made my stay memorable. Breakfast was delicious, and the location is perfect — right in the heart of Galle Fort yet so calm and quiet. Thank you for the hospitality and comfort — it was a lovely experience that I’ll always remember. Highly recommended! 💛

Ideally set in the centre of Galle, Fort de 19 Villa - Galle Fort features air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and free private parking. The property is close to Galle Light house, Galle Fort and Galle Fort National Museum. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk and full-day security for guests. The room was super spacious with high ceilings, making it feel airy and bright. The bathroom was also large and very functional. But it’s not just the room—the entire building was spotless! We even had our own rooftop with an incredible view. We stayed for five days and never even left the Fort area—everything, from top-class restaurants to cozy cafés, was within walking distance, so we didn’t need a tuk-tuk at all. The people were amazing—always kind and smiling. Next time we visit, we won’t even look for another place; we’ll definitely stay here again. 100% recommended!

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. There are not many properties where all points you can give are actually not enough, but the Sergeant House is such a place. We stayed in the 3-Bedroom-Villa with our kids and had a fantastic time. It’s literally impossible to say what we have enjoyed more, the attention given to us by the staff or the amazing property. We are definitely looking forward to repeat this experience again.

Dunes has 10 garden-view ac rooms and a 2 bed room ac cottage in its peaceful and tranquil setting. We stayed at the hotel, in room 12, for 5 days in November 2025. The hotel is wonderful—a quiet oasis on a busy street, with everything nearby, including shops, cafes, and massage parlors. The beach is a 5-minute walk away. The hotel staff is extremely friendly, the room is authentic, there is a lot of greenery around, everything works, the plumbing is new, the beds are comfortable, and there are no mosquitoes. We will be sure to come back again!

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!
