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. I liked everything from the friendly lady in the reception and to my checkout. The restaurant is probably the best one in this area.

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. I had a fantastic 7-day stay at Villa Rumassala—and I loved it so much that I extended my visit by another 10 days. I was based there while completing a medical elective at a nearby hospital, and the villa offered the perfect balance of comfort and tranquillity. Tucked away from the main road, it felt like a peaceful retreat, complete with a serene pool and fresh towels provided daily. The Villas are located about 15 min walk from the main Unawatuna beach and shopping/food area or a short tuktuk ride to Jungle beach (unless you're ok with walking up some steep hills!). The rooms were spacious, exceptionally comfortable, and featured modern, spotless bathrooms. I particularly appreciated the communal kitchen area, which included a kettle and a washing machine—small touches that made a big difference during a longer stay. There was 24/7 security, making me feel safe throughout my stay. There was also a small gym that was open 24/7, however it did not have aircon which might put people off using in the Sri Lankan heat! What truly made my time unforgettable was the staff. They were incredibly warm and welcoming, always making sure I had everything I needed. I was even invited to join in the Sinhala New Year celebrations—a beautiful and memorable experience. A special thank you to Sasini, whose kindness and attention to detail ensured I was comfortable throughout my stay.

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.
