Villa Amma Erna welcomes its guests with an outdoor pool and free internet access. It features contemporary interiors and stylish fan-cooled guestrooms.

The staff went above and beyond. The food is amazing - they pride themselves on the brunch and it was a full spread, community vibe, and it was the most memorable meal I had in Sri Lanka. The staff are so lovely and accommodating, giving me recommendations far beyond my stay. The room was massive and so nice

Adjacent to Unawatuna Beach, Sergent House is set in a boutique villa showcasing colonial architecture and originating in the 1800's.

Beautiful decor and an amazing collection of treasures from adventures around the world. We celebrated our son’s birthday and all the staff went out of their way to give us a memorable time. We had the most tasty cake and festive decorations to make the day special. Thank you for that experience 🙏

Apa Villa offers a peaceful retreat in Galle, featuring spacious suites that overlook the tropical gardens. This property has an outdoor swimming pool, bar and provides free Wi-Fi.

Air conditioning very bad and noisy, poor breakfast. Location and swimming pool are great, but, in our opinion, the hotel is extremely overpriced for what you get.

Roman Beach offers spacious air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi, high ceilings and views of the sea. Located on Hikkaduwa Beach, it presents an outdoor pool and a private beachfront.

Right from entering this hotel till the time we checked out all we experienced is endless warm hospitality. The staff here is so warm throughout the day. They will never say No to any of your requests. The next best thing is the view from the hotel and the location. The beach is directly connected to this hotel and if walk in the beach you will find many beach shacks and restaurants near by. The WiFi connection was far better than other stays that I had in Sri Lanka. Also, the food here was good. The chef here also served customized out of the menu items. We just have to tell him what we like and what we are looking for and also he has his suggestions. Over and all it was a very good experience.

Suite Lanka sits on the sands of Hikkaduwa Beach, one of the widest beaches on Sri Lanka’s west coast. Offering spacious accommodation, it has an outdoor pool and restaurant.

The staff were excellent, led by the outstanding Siri. The property is quirky and ideally placed on the sandy beach. We loved having our meals overlooking the sea. The food was great with a very wide choice at reasonable rates.

    Beautiful old colonial building. The interior design and nooks to just sit and relax in were stunning. Breakfast was really excellent. Location in Galle Fort was perfect for wandering around the town and the shops. The staff at the front desk were keen to go over and above to make our stay comfortable. Highly recommend.

    What a stunning hotel! They have really designed the hotel beautifully, with high quality and finishing. All the staff were lovely, especially the front desk reception and we also met the lovely owner. They looked after us and accommodated us very well. The room was just beautiful and comfortable, with a tasty Sri Lankan breakfast.

    What an incredible, luxurious, boutique hotel. The design is beautiful and very thoughtful and you feel like you’re in your own slice of peaceful paradise in the jungle. The owner and staff were so helpful, friendly, accomodating and attentive. The breakfast and dinner were so delicious and high quality. If you would like to visit Galle Fort or the beaches they arrange a private tuk tuk for you for a good price there and back. Would definitely reccomend!

    We really loved our one night stay here on the day before Xmas eve. The villa is stunning, such beautiful architectural design inside and the pool. We were also really moved by the reason the property was built - what a lovely idea. We ate dinner and breakfast here. We loved the Sri Lankan breakfast where we met others guests- the food was delicious.

    A lovely boutique hotel which is well designed and has a special feel. The staff were attentive and super helpful, looking after our bags as we had an evening flight. The breakfast was absolutely delicious (make sure to get the Sri Lankan breakfast). Great location, right in the centre of the old fort.

    The little hotel was just gorgeous, super quiet, clean and green and the interior design was very special. The rooms were pretty so pretty, we right away extended for another night. Above all, the staff was so lovely and helpful, it was a real pleasure to stay there! There are various options for breakfast, we got each a large plate of fresh and delicious fruit and then went for the Sri Lankan option. I can only recommend!
