5 star hotels in Sri Lanka

Excellent location, just a short walk to the city, Sri Dalada Maligawa, and most of the key attractions. The biggest highlight is undoubtedly the breathtaking view from the hotel room balconies, the upper-floor restaurant, and the rooftop swimming pool. From these vantage points, you get a stunning bird’s-eye view of the city, the temple, and the lake. Service was commendable. The staff were...

Oak Ray Kandy offers a truly delightful experience. The food is absolutely delicious, with some of the best flavors you can find, and the quality is consistently excellent. The rooms are very comfortable and well-maintained, making the stay relaxing and enjoyable. Overall, it’s a great place for both amazing food and a comfy stay. Highly recommended!

Modern hotel with great views. Kandy lookout view point is 50 meters so room balcony view is the same. Aircon good ( which has been hit and miss on our tour)Great hospitality from attentive staff. Breakfast very good. Only downside was no dedicated bar as such. Stayed 3 nights for England v Sri Lanka cricket. Good restand bar over the road with live music and same views.

Oak Ray Heritage Hotel – Kandy We had a great stay at Oak Ray Heritage Hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff was very kind and helpful, and the food was excellent with a great variety. Everything was perfect, and we were very satisfied. Highly for anyone visiting Kandy! Recommended Danushka F.O.M

Nice clean hotel. The rooms are spatious the food is good and the hotel has a pool and good laundry service. The hotel also has a nice view.

Hilltop location with stunning views over Kandy, lake and golden roof of Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic. Rooftop pool was beautiful ( even though it was raining it was warm rain and water!)

We stayed at W15 Hanthana Estate during our tour around Sri Lanka, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable stays of our trip . This is a small boutique property set high in the hills with truly incredible views. The gardens and outdoor spaces are stunning and beautifully maintained, and the pool and terrace areas are breathtaking places to relax and take in the scenery. The hotel itself...

What an absolutely amazing experience, this hotel is not a hotel but a very stylish “home away from home”. The staff is all so polite, serviceminded and ready to go out of their way to make you feel perfect. The W15 Hantana Estate gives you so much more than you dream of, and it is such a beautiful place. We can’t wait to be back again sometime.

We stayed at W15 Hanthana in a bungalow suite in the main house for three nights. We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. The hotel is situated high up in the hills outside Kandy in a very tranquil location with amazing views. Our room was very spacious with a lovely sitting area and small but private outdoor space. Housekeeping kept everything beautifully clean and tidy. ...

Difficult to fault. Beautiful location in the hills above Kandy. Faultless service and food. Wonderful ambience.

Stylish accommodation and surroundings. The room was beautiful, well-equipped, and clean. The food was delicious with a wide selection, and throughout the entire stay, the service provided by the butlers was perfect. If I were to stay in Kandy or the surrounding area again, I would definitely choose W15 Hanthana Estate.

This boutique hotel was our favourite place on our first holiday in Sri Lanka. We stayed at 7 luxury hotels but this stood out. The friendliness of the staff was amazing. They couldn’t do enough for us. The rooms and views were stunning.

We stayed here with friends the staff were extremely helpful nothing was too much trouble We had a lovely evening meal served in the garden I would fully recommend this hotel

Beautiful small hotel, with very friendly staff. Food was spectacular and beautifully presented. Location on beach wonderful

We spent 4 nights at the boutique hotel Cez Ceylon. It was the most beautiful hotel we have ever stayed in. The owners of the hotel have carefully decorated it down to the last detail. The hotel is located right on the beach, the walk along the beach is magical, you feel like you are in paradise. Every day we received immense care from the friendly staff. And not to mention the food, which was fantastic...

We spent a few lovely days in this little paradise. It was the perfect place for us to relax after our trip through Sri Lanka. Beautiful villa, very comfortable room, peaceful garden, very attentive staff, delicious food, dinner under the palm trees with the sound of the waves. We absolutely recommend this place, and we hope to come back some day. Thank you all, for this unforgettable experience!

We had a wonderful few days at Ceu Ceylon. A beautiful, tranquil spot with delightful gardens and pool. Room and facilities extremely comfortable. The staff and service were second to none. They looked after us so well and nothing was too much trouble.

Beautiful location right on the white sandy beach. Lovely friendly staff who set up our cooked to order breakfast table every morning overlooking the sea! Thanks for a lovely stay!

This is such a special place; we stayed for 3 nights and loved every minute we were there. The Villa is lovely, the service is phenomenal and the food is fantastic. Our room and bathroom were really spacious and we had a lovely outside jacuzzi. Our thanks to Dino for looking after us so well, to Ashanka for preparing the most amazing meals and to all the other staff who help create such a wonderful...

What a wonderful old world hotel a real Jem the service you get probably hasn’t been seen since Victorian times the rooms are amazing and the gardens are truly spectacular you will not be disappointed. The food is excellent but it is a little pricey our evening meal was £114 pounds so beware. Having said that nip next door to the beach shack and the food is delicious.

I'd give Reef Villa 6 stars if I could. First the service, what can I say, it was just exceptional, thank you Malith, Dino, Rohan, Asanka, Sandy, gardeners and security (including Fred and Wilma the friendly but vigilant golden retriever security team!) for making our stay the most relaxing and enjoyable I've ever had (and we have travelled all over the world). Special mention to Sandy for showing...

We stayed 3 nights at the end of our 12 nights in Sri Lanka & all we wanted to do was relax & this place certainly ticked the box. What we weren’t prepared for was that we had the whole place to ourselves! At first this was a little uncomfortable to grasp but then it hit us - you have an amazing villa with your own private chef & staff to look after you. & boy did they. Dino was amazing, always on...

We stayed in a private villa with huge, vaulted ceilings filled with colonial antique furniture. There was an inside and outside shower as well as a huge tub. A private patio crossed our own Koi pond. Ten steps to a restaurant. huge pool, and access to the beach. Relaxing while wandering in the tropically landscaped grounds, gazing at the sunset, we felt transported to a different era. Only about...

We had a 3 night stay at the Reef Villas & Spa, it’s worth noting there is no spa and we probably would not have booked had we known (though in fairness the website doesn’t feature it). We were in Sri Lanka and stayed in 10 hotels, the Villas at the Reef are really nice, really large colonial style, with lovely furniture and comfortable beds with mosquito nets. Worth the price of the of the rooms...

The welcome we received from Gayan and his team when we arrived, the location which is so tranquil. The surrounding countryside is breathtaking. Our room was perfect, everything catered for and it looked out over the garden. We had a tour of the tea plantation, everything explained about the process, which was fascinating. Each meal we had was delicious and portions perfect. Overall wonderful experience

Right from the atmosphere, restored details and attentive service to the beautiful property and the plantation walk everything about Warwick Gardens was a delight. We felt so at peace during our 2 day stay here and Viji was so amazing and helpful.

What a fantastic location! This restored old colonial bungalow, with its beautiful landscaped garden, looks out over surrounding luscious hillsides in the heart of Sri Lanka's tea growing region. Although the hotel is isolated we found that the peace and tranquility it offered just added to its charm. We especially enjoyed eating our breakfast in the sunshine on the front patio accompanied by a chorus...

My family and I had a truly amazing time staying at this lovely hotel. Wiji, Ruba, and Jaykumar did an fantastic job of creating a peaceful stay and also teaching us about every step in the tea making process. Plus, Chef Yoga's food was a true highlight of the trip. I highly recommend seeing Warwick Gardens for yourself!

We stayed at Warwick Gardens as a 3 family group during our recent visit to Sri Lanka. From the time we checked in, Viji and Ruba took care of all our needs with a smile. They were kind, polite and efficient in all their dealings with us. Chef Yoga was magical and produced delicacy after delicacy for each meal. No request was turned down or nothing was too big for this team. The Tea Experience was...

A beautiful small hotel high up in the mountains. Incredible views and really amazing staff: The team was so friendly and made our stay very special

The place itself was exquisite! Well maintained and an elegant ambience. The highlight however was not the décor or the pool (which has a built in jacuzzi!), it was the hospitality of the staff! Kavindu who was assisting our group was on spot to take down our meals and took us on an evening walk on the beach! Samantha the life guard was always vigilant while our twins and children were thoroughly enjoying...

This is the second visit to this Property. I enjoyed the service then so I returned. The service was better than expected and came to relax, was able to do that with no Disturbance. Champika and the team did a superb job from the moment we entered the hotel !! Please keep it up

Since the refurbishment and re-branding of the hotel, we were one of the first people to stay in it. The villa we stayed in was wonderful with a sea view. The service from start to finish, from the reception to the waiters to the Manager was exceptional. I must specially mention the manager Rajeev, who made sure that our every need was met. Finally the food, which was excellent and specially curated...

Steiner College selected Clove Beach as the venue for our recent staff training and day out. The agenda combined outbound training, networking, relaxation, and “Teachers Got Talent”, and the hotel provided the perfect setting for all of it. From the moment we arrived, the hotel staff welcomed us warmly with a special ceremony. Throughout the program, they were attentive and supportive, making sure...

Wow what a hotel, nothing is too much at this amazing hotel. The staff are incredible and so friendly and attentive. Manjula was our butler and wow what a fantastic butler he was. He will go a long way in this industry ❤️ this hotel is definitely one to go too and not to missed out on. Our villa was clean, had our very own little pool on the patio which led onto the beach. Super spacious and upstairs...

This property is designed to take care of your every need. You have a personal butler who you work with for everything—dining, outside excursions, a drink by the pool—and they do an excellent job. Our butler was Menuka and he was wonderful, helpful, and kind. We stayed on the property for the most part and chose to do all of our meals there because we liked the food and the convenience. It is a very...

A wonderful stay at Sunrise Pasikuda We had a fantastic time at this hotel and honestly enjoyed everything about it. The staff are incredibly attentive and kind — you can tell they genuinely care about their guests. The food is delicious, with plenty of variety, and one afternoon I ordered from the in-room dining menu — the service was excellent and the food arrived hot and tasty. Security at the hotel...

Service brilliant by Mr.Buddhika at sunrise today we got the service full body with great experience. Thanks a lot Mr.Buddhika

We had a wonderful stay. It is located on a very beautiful and quiet beach where you can easily enter the sea. The staff was fantastic; they are very friendly and help with everything you can think of. The restaurant also had a very good and varied menu. Breakfast was excellent and had very generous portions. The room was very clean and the beds were wonderful. Truly a huge recommendation if you are...

Lovely experience. The hotel itself, the rooms were super lovely and the beach front. Special shoutout to Dumida for given us the best time and service! Would definitely recommend to stay here.

We had a very comfortable and enjoyable two days. The food and drinks were excellent. The friendly and efficient staff were dedicated to meeting our needs quickly. The beautiful beach and large swimming pool. Relieved our fatigue. Thank you very much for having us for two comfortable days. Thank you very much to Mr. Dammika, you are an excellent manager. He takes great care of the hospitality and directs...

The location is top notch for a beach getaway. The atmosphere is very peaceful as you awake to the sounds of the birds and waves crashing ashore. The room is spacious and bright with a lovely shower and outdoor terrace to spend early morning and late evenings. Value for money can’t be beaten either. Housekeeping was superb as the daily room clean was done efficiently and to the highest standard...

Ugh Bay is a great place ... from the very first view (spectacular) as they open the gates, to everything else in the 24 hours we were there (too short!). The location is lovely, the beach is just outstanding, the service and people are smiling and always helpful, the food is tasty ... what else to ask for? :-) We'll be back for sure, and you should go too

Loved our visit to this gorgeous hotel, from arrival to our leaving Uga Bay the team made us feel welcome and special everyday. The location is stunning with a fantastic beach and sea for swimming and beach walks. Swimming pool with infinity setting is spotless. Lots to do locally with trips locally or father afield with nature and history enchanting. The people really made the difference and will...

We stayed at Uga Bay in January. The monsoon weather cut our outdoor plans short, but the stay itself was still fun and relaxing. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and well maintained. The breakfast buffet was good with a nice variety, while lunch and dinner were à la carte and enjoyable. Facilities like the swimming pool and gym helped us make the most of our time despite the weather. The staff...

Wonderful place. Super Service all round. The hotel has an executive chef from Galle, who creates incredibly delicious dishes!! Great beach . However, sad to say although they have a lovely pool which they say is 38 meters in length one can swim only 19 meters after that it’s super shallow!! That is the only architectural disaster we encountered.

Our stay at Uga Bay was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, we received a very warm and genuine welcome. The staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and truly take care of you throughout your stay. The food was excellent, especially for fish lovers. The seafood options were fresh, clean, and very well prepared, with great variety and quality. Every meal felt thoughtfully...

We had a wonderful stay at Uga Bay Hotel in Sri Lanka. The hotel was excellent and our holiday was very relaxing. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well organized. A special highlight was the excursion with our guide Nimal. It was an exciting day, and Nimal told us a lot about the country, the culture, and daily life in Sri Lanka. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip unforgettable...

Great beach and hotel Stayed this weekend with some friends Best location and beach in Hikkaduwa Back again Room had everything a 3star should have and more. Room was clean and friendly staff. Food was excellent with both srilankan curries and Western food for buffet with action station both for dinner and breakfast. Will definitely come back

I stayed at this hotel alone for a week in July, and it was a wonderful experience. The staff were friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived. My room was cozy and clean, featuring a comfortable bed and a stunning ocean view that made waking up each morning truly special. I loved hearing the gentle waves while enjoying my coffee on the balcony. The quiet atmosphere helped me relax after busy...

Great hotel and stay We stayed also during 9th and 10th and our experience was totally different our room was very clean and had all amenities coffee tea good selection of channels and fast WiFi. Staff from reception,restaurant and roomboys so friendly. Food was excellent tasty and good selection for breakfast and dinner. Yes it needs some upgrading but it was clean. We spoke to the foreign...

the hotel is good the accomadation is comfortable and the food is good also. The information desk its okay and respectable to the guest.

nice rooms and view of seaside beach generous frontdesk.nice staff.

I'm happy and ❤️❤️❤️ and beautiful place also reception is very nice and fantastic.

Clean and spacious room. Friendly service.

The room was large but rather basic; the floors and bathtub were all concrete and unglazed. The outdoor view was beautiful; the balcony door opened directly onto the sea, with vast expanses of land beyond. The children even saw lizards and monkeys. The price was cheaper than other hotels, making it good value for money.

We had a lovely stay at this hotel, the rooms were big and clean and our room had an outdoor shower which was really nice. The hotel itself was well well kept with maintained lawns and gardens and the staff were very helpful particularly Fareed (hope i spell correctly) who really looked after us.

The room is big and I am quite satisfied with the price. The bed is clean and the food tastes good. We felt very comfortable on the second morning here. However, I need to give a suggestion to the hotel. It is better to install glass in the bathroom window, otherwise the blinds alone cannot prevent mosquitoes from entering. Fortunately, the air conditioner was cold enough that night and it was equipped...

This hotel is our first stop when we arrived in Sri Lanka. It's a pity that our flight arrived at night, so we felt the attentive service when we arrived at the hotel. When we got up the next morning to have breakfast, we were amazed by the large lawn and swimming pool. The environment is really good. It's a pity that we have to leave, otherwise swimming would definitely be a very happy thing 😄

The room was spotless and tidy, facing the ocean. The hotel also has its own private beach. If you're unsure what to eat for dinner, I highly recommend trying the hotel restaurant. We ordered the tuna and black tiger prawns for our main courses, and both were absolutely delicious. The best part is the dining experience right by the sea – it really gives you that holiday vibe. The staff were also very...

The hotel environment is great, and you can see the sea directly from the lobby.

Breakfast was great; we ordered from the menu, and the taste was very palatable to Chinese tastes! As for the other facilities and environment, they were just average.

We’ve had a wonderful 3-days stay at Moments hotel. It’s in a good location in the main road running along the beach. Within 2’ you have the best restaurants, shops and bars of Hikkadwua, and most peaceful and beautiful beaches in the area. Gihán, the manager of the hotel is very welcoming, kind, attentive and helpful. He did great breakfasts with eggs, fruits and very good dark coffee from sri-lanka...

The facilities and environment are first-class, with the standard of gold diamonds. I ordered a seafood platter for dinner for 330 yuan, which included lobsters and crabs. The service was also very good, and it was great value!

The hotel is nice, right on the beach. After dinner, you can stroll along the sand and play in the water. Dinner is ordered from the restaurant, and the quality is good. The steak is delicious. You can dine outdoors by the pool, which is a great experience. However, the hotel room design is a little flawed. The bathroom curtain is a bit unnatural and has a slight smell. I hope this will be improved...

Temple Tree Resort and Spa is a comfortable property. Rooms are large and spacious and we were in an ocean view room. Breakfast variety is good and the coffee is excellent. There is direct access to the beach. Staff is very courteous and helpful. However, certain essentials were not in the room and had to be asked for. Even blankets had to be requested for. No welcome drink is offered but there were...

The hotel was great the breakfast was good but could have been better. Great value for money. Nice big rooms lovely huge bathroom great view.

Decent hotel, but certainly not 4 or 5*. Max this can be a 2.5*. While staff are courteous and tries to be helpful, they are working with limitations and inadequate training. Building is old styled but broadly clean, especially lobby and pool side. Food is average. Buffet area is not very hygienic, we could see insects and ants in fruits and desert section. Direct access to the beach is a big plus...

Went here last-minute as the other hotel was overbooked and I was surprised how nice it was. Russian tourist mainly but no problem. They also just want to have a good sunny holiday. Great pools and almost feels a bit like tropical modernist design when looking to the garden and pool area. Room is good, nothing to complain about. Right at the beach. Breakfast was OK. Staff as usual in Sri Lanka very...

Beautiful Hotel directly at the beach with very nice staff! They all tried to make our trip really special! The breakfast and dinner was amazing. The rooms were big and really clean! We will definitely recommend this hotel to our friends and family.

I wouldn’t strongly recommend staying at temple tree. Temple tree has a great/ideal location right on the beach. It’s very picturesque and beautiful. However when I ordered food as the only customer in the dining room it took well over an hour to bring a simple appetizer. They explained to me by saying they were very busy but they had 6 staff in the kitchen that I could see and I was the only customer...

Had a wonderful stay at The Merchant Galle Fort. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the service was excellent, and the food was absolutely delicious. The room was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. Everything felt easy and welcoming from start to finish. Truly a great experience, Thank you to Chamika and the team—would definitely visit again and highly recommend!

Went to have dinner with my family. Beautiful outdoor area with indoor A/C facility. It was a pretty hot night so decided to stay indoor. Food was curved without any delay. Grilled prawn ,olive oil and garlic dipper was the best dish I had. Food was so good and the potion was pretty big. Service was amazing. Food is a bit expensive than the other restaurant but it’s a worth of trying

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Galle. The decoration is absolutely stunning — every detail is thoughtfully designed and beautifully executed. The atmosphere is incredibly peaceful, with a lovely vibe that makes you relax. The menu and food are very well curated, adding even more to the overall experience. The staff really make the difference: professional, attentive, and extremely polite...

The Merchant is located in a beautiful spot inside Galle Fort, and the location is definitely its strongest point. The surroundings are charming and well placed, making it a nice place to sit and enjoy the atmosphere of the fort. However, the service was below expectations during our visit. There was a noticeable lack of attentiveness, and the overall experience could have been much better with more...

We went to Merchant for a dinner out. Had their curry pasta, chicken burger and blue ocean virgin mojito which was soo yum. Portion sizes were so big although prices are bit on the higher side.Great vibe with the nicest staff. 😁

A gorgeous elegant spot to grab breakfast or dinner. Set in a beautiful lush courtyard, amazing live singer the first night I went down. Great coffee and breakfast options , service was impeccable, WiFi super fast which was a god send for working. A little oasis the perfect place to get some r&r after sight seeing. Highly recommend

My wife and I recently stayed at Haritha for our honeymoon. It was absolutely beautiful! Every touch of detail from the moment we arrived (and even before), until our checkout was so nice. The location is beautiful, and the villas are extremely comfortable and private. Each guest / villa gets their own personal "Villa Master", who is there to assist you, personally, throughout your stay. Ishanka, our...

I don’t really know where to start. This has honestly been one of the best hotels we’ve been to. On arrival we were met by Axel the manager and Asela who was our butler assigned to us for our stay. Asela took us to our beautiful room with a plunge pool and beautiful garden, and gave us each a foot massage. You can eat all your meals outside on your own terrace if you wish. We did a mix of both. There...

Before we arrived here, we were discussing what is the nicest hotel we have ever stayed in. I’m so fortunate to now say Haritha Villa is by far the most lovely hotel I have ever stayed. The food, the drink, the staff, the location, all perfect! Our Villa Master Nilanka took such good care of us. Axel also made sure we always had everything we needed. The highlight was the movie night that the...

After 54 days travelling Sri Lanka (a journey that became 20 days longer than planned due to the Middle East flight disruptions), we made a conscious choice about how to end it. Not a functional airport hotel. Not limping home. Something that would outlast the chaos in memory. Haritha Villas & Spa, perched on a hilltop five minutes from Hikkaduwa, delivered exactly that. We actually discovered it...

Absolutely amazing resort, service, food, rooms, swimming pool give everything 10/10. Including our Butler Ishanka. He was perfect didn’t miss a beat and ever so kind and friendly. Would highly recommend.

Flawless experience — Beautiful villas, an amazing team, and unforgettable serenity that made every moment special.

Visit with my family and stayed there for one night. location is separate from the busy roads, guarantee you calm environment and has very clean beach. Small hotel. Easy access to the beach. Rooms are clean. All basic Amenities were there. staff promptly attend to your needs. There were some BBQ dish at the dinner, and when we arrive, it was finished. they didn't refill it and some guests also missed...

We had a beautiful stay at Habitat Kosgoda. The team arranged a lovely surprise for my husband’s new job promotion with amazing room decorations and a delicious cake. It was such a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture. Special thanks to Mr. Priyantha( house keeping manager) and the chef for their kindness, friendly service, and wonderful hospitality. Truly unforgettable experience! Highly recommended

We had an excellent time at The Habitat by Leisure, Kosgoda. The General Manager, Mr. Ranil Delagoda and his team was extremely accommodating and attentive to all our needs. We are especially grateful to the kitchen staff, who ensured we had our preferred poolside seating. The chef personally checked on the guests to make sure everyone was satisfied, which was a lovely touch. Good spread of food...

We stayed as a family of 4 at the Habitat Hotel for 9 days during Christmas. Kosgoda is a wonderful quiet and relaxing place. The hotel was clean, great food and service at the restaurant. We stayed in a suite. The room was spacious & of good standard. I would definitely say a 4 star hotel. Hotel staff were always happy, attentive and knowledgeable. Dylan tour guide at the hotel was great! I would...

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, surrounded by nature with a beautiful beach nearby—perfect for peaceful walks and relaxation. The ambience was calm, refreshing, and truly rejuvenating. The staff was extremely kind and helpful. A special mention to Ramesha at the reception—she was very sweet, welcoming, and made the stay even more pleasant. The food was delicious,...

My stay at Maya Tangalle was nothing short of exceptional. The location itself is breathtaking serene, picturesque, and deeply calming. What truly sets this place apart is how beautifully they have preserved the old architecture. It’s not just charming it’s timeless. You feel like you’re stepping into history, but with all the comfort of modern luxury. Exceptional rooms with amazing interior. The...

Absolutely exceptional from start to finish. The manager and staff were friendly and made check-in easy. The Presidential Suite was stunning. A phenomenal restaurant, great food and great service throughout. The best boutique hotel we have found in Sri Lanka. We couldn't have asked for a better stay and vacation.

Beautiful place in the middle lush greens. Incredible pool. Every part of the hotel is tastefully decorated. The restaurant is really elegant. Will definitely be back again!

We stayed at Taru at Tangalle for only one night, booked at short notice. The hotel is beautiful and a wonderful location overlooking the ocean. The staff could not be more helpful and such great service. Pramodya Herath was so friendly, always smiling and a great example of the professionalism provided by everyone at Taru. Thankyou.

During our three-week trip to Sri Lanka, our best accommodation experience was at Taru Villas Mawella. The exceptional support and professionalism of Lahiru, the hotel manager, made a huge difference and helped us in many ways throughout our stay. In the restaurant, Sam—who is originally from Galle—was also incredibly kind and attentive, always going out of his way to assist us. Thanks to the wonderful...

A truly lovely hotel and experience. Great location right on a very quiet and clean beach. Lovely hotel with very accommodating staff. Spacious room with plenty of outdoor space.

The location is fantastic as it's right on a lovely beach, with lots of sun loungers and bodyboards available. I would recommend the Pool house as it has 2 ensuite bedrooms, a large lounge/dining/kitchen area and private veranda where you can have breakfast served + the large pool is effectively all yours. The breakfast options are very good, however, there are better and much cheaper and romantic...

This hotel is absolutely brilliant, the setting , the food (incredible), the staff - Lahiru, Sam, Donald, Shehan, Pasindu - EVERYONE, are just the best. So accommodating, so friendly, so brilliant with our baby - they could sort everything. I would completely recommend this hotel and to stay for a few days so you can really relax there. We loved playing on the grass with our baby and swimming in the...

What a fabulous hotel in a beautiful location on the beach. We stayed in the pool house which is very luxurious and comfortable. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, particularly Lakshitha who looked after us extremely well. Great food and cocktails too!

This was an amazing villa with attentive and kind staff. The location was excellent and it was a great haven to escape the hot streets of Galle. The service was excellent throughout and the rooms were spacious and beautifully designed. The pool table and outdoor pool were a great addition. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and hope to return one day. Thank you for helping finish our family holiday...

Highly recommendable, Small and cozy colonial hotel with super good service, and a good cook that makes the food you wish, we had a great dinner with the most amazing lobster

Absolutely fantastic place! We felt like we had the villa to ourselves as the only other guest staying at the property too left after the first day. The staff are amazing and very hospitable. Food is fantastic and made with love. A must visit when in galle

Extremely well decorated, small, boutique hotel in a fancy area of Colombo. Rooms are big, well appointed and charming. The food in the restaurant is delicious. Probably, the best bisque I have ever had. Decent breakfast.

Wonderful hotel with a lot of history. Very colonnial so one dhould expect the suites to look like they need renovating which is a criticism I have seen in other reviews. It does not! The room was large, airy and had good lighting. Cleanliness all round the hotel was excellent. The outside courtyard is a very pleasant area to sit in whether it is just to relax, have a drink or dine. The food was excellent...

Wow!! This is our first time to Sri Lanka and we began our trip here at the Tintagel. We loved this hotel so much and cannot recommend it enough!!!! The staff were absolutely fantastic, so kind and friendly, always ready to lend a hand and make suggestions. They made our stay wonderful. The food was also incredible, we had lunch and breakfast here and both were 10/10. Beautiful pool and bar. Great...

An incredible stay couldn’t fault them in any way. Highly recommend.

Because of the work of architect Bawa, we chose this place as our first stop in Sri Lanka. It is a niche light luxury hotel with great rooms in the style of Bawa. It is said to be the former private residence of the Prime Minister, specializing in entertaining heads of state and the British royal family. The service is very good, and the breakfast and dinner are also delicious (the dinner is said to...

We really liked this hotel for the location and the history. The staff was amazing and we didn’t feel like we were in the city.
