Boasting a garden, Small House Boutique Guest House is a guest house set in a historic building in the centre of Galle, close to Lighthouse Beach. The property has garden and city views, and is 400 metres from Dutch Church Galle. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. I had a wonderful stay at Small House Boutique Guest House in Galle. The place is absolutely charming — a cute, cozy house with beautiful décor and such a peaceful vibe. The room was spotless, comfortable, and full of thoughtful touches that made it feel like home. A special thank you to Rumeshika, who was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. Her warmth and care truly made my stay memorable. Breakfast was delicious, and the location is perfect — right in the heart of Galle Fort yet so calm and quiet. Thank you for the hospitality and comfort — it was a lovely experience that I’ll always remember. Highly recommended! 💛

This 11-suite boutique hotel has since gained an impeccable reputation for the highest levels of service, along with many accolades from the ‘Asia Pacific Heritage Award of Destination’ by UNESCO to being awarded ‘Leading Boutique Hotel in Sri Lanka’ by the World Travel Awards for three consecutive years. We had the best experience! Hotel staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable. The bar was a highlight for us and they made special drinks to appease my husband’s curiosity about the Arrack. Definitely a highlight of our entire trip!

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. A very lovely homestay! The location is perfect, only a few minutes walk you can go to the turtle beach, railway station and bus stand. And there are many restaurants and markets nearby, it’s easy to get meals and buy some daily necessities. The house is a single story colonial style ranch with beautiful garden. It is meticulously maintained by the owner. We even spotted some peacocks and lizards in the garden. The owner is SUPER nice and friendly. He spoke fluent English and introduced us every facilities how to use in the room after we checked in. He offered us free drinking water everyday. What moved us most was that after we had already checked out the homestay to catch our train, the host himself came to the railway station to see us off. He even tried his best to help us find a seat on the train, to make sure we could sit comfortably all the way to Colombo.

Sri Lankan architectural master piece Dunes Unawatuna hotel is an eco friendly boutique hotel near the beautiful Unawatuna beach(100 meters/ 5min walk away).

Dunes has 10 garden-view ac rooms and a 2 bed room ac cottage in its peaceful and tranquil setting. We stayed at the hotel, in room 12, for 5 days in November 2025. The hotel is wonderful—a quiet oasis on a busy street, with everything nearby, including shops, cafes, and massage parlors. The beach is a 5-minute walk away. The hotel staff is extremely friendly, the room is authentic, there is a lot of greenery around, everything works, the plumbing is new, the beds are comfortable, and there are no mosquitoes. We will be sure to come back again!
