Located in Hikkaduwa, Camellia Dwelling offers tranquil and comfortable accommodation with free WiFi access throughout the property. Featuring lush green gardens, it operates a 24-hour front desk and provides complimentary parking on site. Don't miss Camellia if you visit Hikkaduwa. We spent a week in the charming mansion Camellia, centrally and quietly located, a few minutes walk away from the beach and center. The building is a little hidden from the street and is surrounded by a blooming garden. The room with all amenities was spacious and quiet. Our host Paddy spoiled us with a delicious and varied breakfast, he showed us the eating habits of the country with the respective national dishes. His humor and knowledge of the country and its people was unique, he helped his guests and also us with reservations, excursions and transfers. We highly recommend this property and will book this accommodation again on our visit.

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

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. Wow! I was able to spend 2 nights in the beautiful accommodation and can only recommend it with all my heart! The staff are very accommodating and warm with great attention to detail. The breakfast was incredible and there were great food and activity recommendations from the hosts that you could take advantage of. I also had a great Ayurveda treatment, which was the cherry on top of the stay - it was really great and I felt very comfortable at all times. You can tell that the hosts care a lot about the safety and well-being of their guests - a really great experience and a really great team. The location gave you great opportunities to see the wildlife around the accommodation and recharge your batteries - the perfect getaway spot.

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 tiny, but this place exceeded our expectations. The bed was comfortable and we did not miss a thing. There is a rooftop terrace with sea views for enjoying the sunset. The location inside the fort is good for exploring the old town. The old town and the fort is well walkable from this location. The bus and train stations are also within walking distance. There is a restaurant next door (called Seagreen) that is opened both for breakfast and dinner (the food was outstanding!).

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. Stunning!!! Extremely beautiful place to stay as long as you can!!! It feels like home although I doubt that a lot of us have such a beautiful house. Everything has the owner’s personal touch, elegant, cosy, zen, you name it!
