A Hidden Gem of Hospitality – Villa Ema From the moment we arrived at Villa Ema, we felt something truly special. This is not just a place to stay – it’s a thoughtfully designed retreat where every detail reflects the immense effort, passion, and love poured into its creation. The villa itself is stunning, blending elegance with comfort, making it the perfect sanctuary for relaxation. The hosts have gone above and beyond in every possible way. Their warm and genuine hospitality made us feel not like guests, but like dear friends. They provided invaluable recommendations for exploring the area, assisted us in every way imaginable, and created an atmosphere that felt both welcoming and exclusive. The villa’s interiors are beautifully crafted, combining style with a sense of homey comfort. The surrounding property is meticulously maintained, with further enhancements in the works, promising an even more spectacular experience in the future. One of the lovely perks of staying here is the breakfast – small yet hearty, ensuring that no guest ever leaves the table hungry. And for the price, there is simply no better place to stay in the Galle area. The combination of quality, hospitality, and affordability is unbeatable. If you’re considering booking – do it now, while rooms are still available! This place is a true find, and we can’t wait to return with friends. Thank you, Villa Ema, for an unforgettable stay!

It was a fantastic experience staying in Sunset Cabana! You feel welcome from the first moment on. The whole family is very nice and helpful but especially the lady of the house is truly a sunshine. Not only the real sri lankan food she prepares is delicious but also the travel information she gives you, her helping hand in whatever you need, personal advice and talks. The rooms are very clean, the bed comfortable and the view from the terrace is amazing. If there was a rank of 20, we would definetely give it!! Petra & Xavi

Very clean and comfortable. The location is great if you’re arriving by train or bus, just a few meters from the stations and also super close to the beach and many restaurants and markets. The host is super friendly and helpful with everything you need, although he is not in the accommodation he’s always checking in via what’s app to make sure everything’s ok and we have everything we need. We couldn’t ask for anything more to be honest.

I really enjoyed staying at this place, the view is just amazing and you can hear the waves while sleeping. Indika is a great host, he gave me recommendations about nearby places and arranged a pickup from the airport as well.

The photos don’t do this place justice. It’s so comfortable and beautifully decorated. Our room was very spacious with a walk-in shower. We loved Pirate, the owner’s dog, who kept us company morning and night. The rooftop area is perfect for watching sunset over the fort and watching locals play games of cricket. The location is in walking distance from everything in the fort. Wish we could have stayed longer!
