Boasting an outdoor swimming pool, garden and views of pool, The Well is situated in Ahangama, less than 1 km from Kabalana Beach. The property is located 19 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium, 19 km from Galle Fort and 20 km from Dutch Church Galle. The air-conditioned rooms provide a garden view and come with a wardrobe and free WiFi. We stayed in the deluxe room with an outdoor shower—it was clean, comfortable, and smelled lovely. Traveling in the off-season, we were the only guests, which made it feel like our own private villa. The morning yoga just a few steps away was a real highlight. A peaceful and relaxing stay overall!

Offering a terrace and city view, SILVER RAIL is located in Galle, 1.3 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium and 1.9 km from Galle Fort. This homestay provides free private parking and full-day security. The property is 1.8 km from the city centre and 800 metres from Mahamodara Beach. The room was spacious, very clean, and the temperature was great. We also had two fans in the room on top of that. The breakfast in the morning was amazing, definitely the best we've had in Sri Lanka at our hotels. Big and delicious! The mosquito net in the room was very nice as well. The family running the guesthouse were also very lovely and helpful. I would absolutely recommend to stay here.

Ideally set in Galle, Taavetti offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, free private parking and room service. Among the various facilities of this property are a garden, a private beach area and a shared lounge. The hotel has an indoor pool, evening entertainment and a shared kitchen. -We were offered an upgrade to the King's Suite which was a wonderful gesture by the manager. -The room was huge and very well-ventilated and bright. The manager was attentive to all our requirements. -Being a vegetarian, I did not have a lot of options for breakfast or other meals, however, the chef Isuru and other kitchen staff went out of the way to make vegetarian meal options for me. -They arranged for a spa treatment upon request for us and the masseuse knew his work. I would like to conclude by saying that both the property and kitchen staff at Tavetti understand the ethics of the Hospitality industry well!

Ohana Surf Guest House has an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Ahangama. The property is around less than 1 km from Ahangama Beach, 20 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium and 20 km from Galle Fort. The hotel also features free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. Staying at Ohana was such a wonderful and heartwarming experience! Paula, Rodulfo and the complete staff are the best hosts you can imagine. They do everything to make you feel right at home and become part of their Ohana, their Family. The property is the best we have seen during our stay in Sri Lanka. This level of hospitality is hard to find in this country; they clean the rooms everyday, the breakfast menu is amazing and tasty (from overnight-oats to avotoast and chiapudding!), the pool is very clean and well maintained. They help you with everything you need to find your way in Ahangama and experience this town on its best! We had surf classes every day, absolutely the best and most complete classes we have had. You learn everything about the physical movements, coordination on the board and different types of wave patterns, this helped us improve our surf skills quickly. Every class ended with feedback photo analysis to personally improve more and more every day. Definitely worth the money and really recommend taking Rodulfo’s classes, even if your not staying at their hotel. The only hard part was leaving Ohana since extending our stay wasn’t possible, everything was fully booked and we understand why! We booked another hotel in the same street but were still welcomed at Ohana, this shows us how heartoriented these owners are. Very thankful for this experience!

Situated in Bentota, 1.4 km from Bentota Beach, Tree of Life Resort features accommodation with a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. The property is set 1 km from Bentota Lake, 1.3 km from Bentota Railway Station and 2.2 km from Aluthgama Railway Station. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi. We were driving our rented tuktuk from galle to negombo and decided to break the journey up in two days, so we spent one night here. And no regrets because this place was wonderful! The design of the area is peaceful and beautiful, the pool is well-kept without the overwhelming chlorine scent and the staff is friendly and helpful (when it rained they laid out umbrellas at our door!). It all made for a relaxing afternoon of lounging and swimming. The rooms are very clean and spacious, perfect ac and room climate. The bathroom deserves its own mention because there is a waterfall shower which feels luxerious and relaxing! We had dinner and breakfast here and both were very good. I loved the chicken and cheese kottu while my bf found the fish and chips tasty. The fries were thin and crispy! Couldn’t recommend this place enough!
