Facing the beachfront, DORMERO Hotel Sri Lanka Hikkaduwa Beach offers 5-star accommodation in Hikkaduwa and features an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre and garden. With a terrace, the property also has a restaurant, as well as a bar. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. It was simply amazing from the beginning to the end! An experience like no other 😃. My friend and I were upgraded and had wonderful sea views and enjoyed watching the surfers. All staff were professional and friendly and went out of their way to provide the best experience ever! We fell in love with the adorable Kiki the local hotel dog. Franzi was incredible and added a personal touch to your stay and always had a smile on her face. I have stayed in many hotels over my years of traveling and this hotel is simply THE BEST!

Villa Rumassala Luxury Chalets Unawatuna features a fitness centre, a garden and a sun terrace with swimming pool and continental breakfast in Unawatuna. The property is around 1.9 km from Jungle Beach, 4.8 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium and 5 km from Galle Fort. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. The stay was planned very last minute but still managed to be absolutely perfect! The team was very helpful, friendly and kind. We were greeted with cold lime soda on arrival. Our room was a dream! Spacious, clean, bed was very comfortable. There is a also kitchen equipped with the basic facilities. The view is beautiful, looking over the pool and so many palm trees. It’s not on the beach, so either you walk to Unawatuna Beach (around 30 min) or you can make arrangements with the tuktuk driver that works for the hotel. The location itself is very peaceful and quiet so if you are looking to relax fully, this is the place to be. The pool area was also lovely and clean. Also, three rabbits hopping around was a pleasant surprise :) A short 4-5 min walk leads to the main street where there is a market, bakery, a bit further down a bank. All in all, it was absolutely wonderful and would have loved to stay longer!

The Sun House has a garden, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Galle. Featuring an outdoor swimming pool, the 5-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The property is non-smoking and is situated 1.9 km from Mahamodara Beach. Stunning colonial house converted to a boutique hotel. Tranquil garden and small pool, but fine to refresh after a hot day out. Beautiful views, we could see the sea from our room and we had monkeys outside our window watching us shower! The breakfast was delicious and there was plenty of it. Service was excellent too.
