Set a few steps from Hikkaduwa Beach, The CatiPe Lodge offers a garden, a terrace and air-conditioned accommodation with a patio and free WiFi.

The breakfast offers à la carte, Full English/Irish or Asian options. At the lodge you will find a restaurant serving Asian cuisine. Vegetarian and kosher options can also be requested. I was warmly welcomed by a very friendly family who made me feel right at home. The room was one of the best I stayed in during my month-long trip in Sri Lanka—immaculately clean, spacious, and featuring a modern interior. It was also free of bugs or roaches, which added to my comfort and relaxation. The location is perfect, right in the heart of town, with everything conveniently within reach. The only potential downside is the proximity to train tracks, which can get loud when a train passes. Personally, this didn’t bother me since I’m a deep sleeper, but light sleepers might want to keep this in mind. Overall, an excellent stay that I highly recommend!

THE LODGE by Eco Love is located in Galle, 4.8 km from Galle Fort, 4.9 km from Dutch Church Galle, and 5.3 km from Galle Light house. The air-conditioned accommodation is 4.7 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium, and guests benefit from on-site private parking and complimentary WiFi. We stayed here for three days and felt very comfortable. The cottage built in the garden of the family is very stylishly furnished and has everything you need. Great interior design. It even has a very large refrigerator, dishes, and a sink. Malik and his family take really good care of their guests. The breakfast is delicious and plentiful (so much so that we made ourselves packed lunches). And Malik's brother once brought us some delicious homemade cookies, just because I had told him that I like sweets. You can borrow two bicycles for free, which we did once to explore the surrounding area and ride through the rice fields. Malik is a very good contact when it comes to organizing excursions. He gave us great tips and organized a good driver for a day trip to the rainforest. He also speaks excellent English (which is unfortunately not often the case in Sri Lanka), so it's easy to have a conversation with him. He is an awesome guide himself and spent a morning showing us around the old town and fort of Galle, and we learned lots of new and interesting things. Highly recommend to go on a guided tour with him, if he is around. If we come back to Galle, we will definitely stay here again!

Boasting an outdoor pool, Samalanka Boutique Hotel in Habaraduwa features accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking for guests who drive.

Galle International Cricket Stadium is 16 km from the lodge, while Galle Fort is 16 km away. Koggala Airport is 5 km from the property, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. Hiresha and Sudeera made our stay at the property a delight, looking after our every need. Transportation, food, recommendations, everything. The property itself is stunning and spotless and the true meaning of Boutique. It's a little way from the beach but it's in the jungle with no sounds other than the wild life. There are little extras with this property that are noteworthy, the use of the kitchen if you like or the laundry room.

Offering garden views, Ocean Pearl Cottage in Ahungalla offers accommodation, a garden, a private beach area, a terrace, a restaurant and barbecue facilities. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge. We had a fantastic time at Ocean Pearl Cottage! Room was spacious, comfortable bed and new ac. The host was very caring and lovely man! Once he heard that it was our honeymoon, same evening he left a surprise for us in a room, which I will attach with pictures. Not to mention all additional snacks and drinks during the day and evening. This man really knows what is the highest level of customer service. He also took us to the beach to look for turtles laying eggs at night! He will help you with everything you need. It was a great experience! I would also like to add that Jungle beach bar nearby is a great place to spend time during the day, to eat some food and get a drink with a sunset. The beach itself is also lovely and very peaceful. We had best time out of all places during our 3 week trip in Sri Lanka, thank you so much!

Located 400 metres from Unawatuna Beach, Unawatuna Backpacker Lodge provides accommodation with a garden, a shared lounge and a shared kitchen for your convenience. Both WiFi and private parking are available at the lodge free of charge. The place was very confortable. The host is very kind and helpful. He owns a nice little restaurant and another house just next, so very quiet almost no other neighbours. Very good breakfast, copious and varied. Fews minutes walk from the beach, many shops and restaurants around. The best plus is that it is located on the jungle edge of the village and by the river, so we had iguanas, varans, birds and plenty of monkeys passing so close to us!! Wonderful!! The best rate quality/price of our travel so far, highly recommanded!
