Featuring a garden, terrace, bar and free WiFi, Secret Garden Fort is located in Galle in the center of the fort, 1312 feet from Dutch Church Galle.

This hotel is smack in the middle of the Fort area close to all the action. You can walk out the door and immediately start siteseeing, shopping, and enjoying the charming vibe of Galle Fort. Tons of great restaurants and shops all around. The restaurant served a great breakfast that was included in our rate. We had two rooms up a tiny spiral staircase, so this might be difficult with babies, toddlers, or seniors. It was fine for us and we enjoyed having a whole section to ourselves. The rooms faced a wall, so don't pick this hotel for the views, but it was definitely quiet, even tho we were close to lots of restaurants with live music. The staff are kind and helpful and it's overall fantastic value.

City Stay is located in Galle, within a 12-minute walk of Bonavista Beach and 1.5 miles of Jungle Beach. Featuring room service, this property also provides guests with a terrace.

Location is 4-5 km away from downtown & right on the main road (easily accessible), which is good to find peace after a day long stroll around the Dutch Fort. Staff is very nice, however need some guidance in managing guests. Indian Hut located right next to hotel provides opportunity to try Indian/ SriLankan cuisine, however be mindful of spices while selecting from the menu (curries especially).

Located in Galle, a 8-minute walk from Kabalana Beach, Amara Villa provides accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.

This is a beautiful property- so many flowers and well cared for plants in the lovely peaceful garden. The house is well appointed with spacious rooms. A quiet retreat in a small village away from tourists and crowds. Duminda and his team made us so comfortable and happy. Delicious Sri Lankan breakfast as well! A short walk from a small beach, and plenty of nice restaurants within walking/tuktuk distance. It’s a bit of a distance from Galle so ideal if you had a car or you can easily take the local bus.

the peace and quiet I cannot thank Elke (the owner) enough for making my stay amazing .. she is the heart and soul of that place very caring and attentive and supportive in every way possible .. the place is a slice of heaven on earth in the middle of a very calming environment … open space with a magical view .. you are part of nature in a peaceful and beautiful way .. you wake up to the sounds of the birds and beautiful rays of sunlight … I had the most relaxing sleep of my life there .. the breakfast and the food there was soooooo tasty .. my morning yoga and meditation sessions are the perfect way to start the day … I stayed for 8 nights and was so recharged by the time I left xx I loved everything about the place … I had nicely decorated beautiful room with its own theme every room there comes with its own vibe... I was so in love with their bedtime ritual when someone comes to prepare your room for you to go to sleep it felt lovely and like a very cozy addition... I can’t put into words how happy I was there and for sure I’ll come back to visit and recommend it to anyone who wants to detox and disconnect that’s the place for you .. love you Ilka and thank you for everything you’ve done to make my time there super special and for all the lovely staff at the property .. this was the perfect getaway ❤️🌹

    An interesting little town full of things to see and do. Good boutiques, restaurants and bars. From our balcony, we watched monkeys scampering over the rooftops while a 2 meter Monitor Lizard walked down the street, while listening to jazz from the piano bar next door.

    Galle is an old fortress town on the coast.

    Galle is an old fortress town on the coast. The historical architecture is well preserved - you can walk all the way around the town on the walls. Many of the old buildings in the town still exist and are in use. You can also sit on the fortress wall and watch the cricket. So overall great atmosphere. Galle is also close to several nature destinations.

    The Galle fort area has good choice of shops and restaurants and there are many kinds of foods available like pizza and burgers. We enjoyed eating more salads and stir fries dishes. There are a number of beaches you can visit along the coastline - some are recommended for surfing, others for swimming etc. It is easy to get around . There are many tuk tuk available to explore the region and surrounding coastline.

    Perfect for relaxing. The view from the hotel was amazing. We had the suite, and it was the right choice. Exceptional with the pool and the view. Nature all around you. You can see monkeys in the morning and evening. (Being your binoculars) The staff was super friendly and helpful whenever needed. The sri lankan breakfast was very yummy. Even though remotely in the nature if you want to go to galle it is still only 20 min by TukTuk or 5 min to the beach.

    Lovely little hotel with a perfect location in Galle Fort. We booked for one night without planning on sleeping here, instead storing our bags and using the room to rest/freshen up ahead of a late evening transfer up to Colombo for our flight home. The wonderful owner made this a memorable last stop in Sri Lanka with warm hospitality and great recommendations. We would highly recommend staying here!

    Our time at the Sun House was a great experience. We stayed in the Dumas Suite, which was very comfortable and quiet. The staff are very attentive and friendly and try very hard to look after guests. The location is perfect, in a peaceful location surrounded by nature but close to the sites in Galle Fort. We had a lovely time at the hotel and will definitely stay again when we return to Sri Lanka.

    Great stay at Windy Garden. Spacious, very clean room, modern bathroom, and a great balcony overlooking the lovely pool. Breakfast was good, a choice between continental and Sri Lankan. One evening, sitting on the balcony, we had a sunset watching monkeys in the trees behind the hotel, which was special. Only a short ride 5-10 minutes)to Galle in a tuk tuk. Staff were very good, happy and polite.
