Boasting an outdoor swimming pool, garden and views of pool, The Well is situated in Ahangama, less than 1 km from Kabalana Beach. The property is located 19 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium, 19 km from Galle Fort and 20 km from Dutch Church Galle. The air-conditioned rooms provide a garden view and come with a wardrobe and free WiFi. We stayed in the deluxe room with an outdoor shower—it was clean, comfortable, and smelled lovely. Traveling in the off-season, we were the only guests, which made it feel like our own private villa. The morning yoga just a few steps away was a real highlight. A peaceful and relaxing stay overall!

Offering a terrace and city view, SILVER RAIL is located in Galle, 1.3 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium and 1.9 km from Galle Fort. This homestay provides free private parking and full-day security. The property is 1.8 km from the city centre and 800 metres from Mahamodara Beach. The room was spacious, very clean, and the temperature was great. We also had two fans in the room on top of that. The breakfast in the morning was amazing, definitely the best we've had in Sri Lanka at our hotels. Big and delicious! The mosquito net in the room was very nice as well. The family running the guesthouse were also very lovely and helpful. I would absolutely recommend to stay here.

Ideally set in Galle, Taavetti offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, free private parking and room service. Among the various facilities of this property are a garden, a private beach area and a shared lounge. The hotel has an indoor pool, evening entertainment and a shared kitchen. My stay at Taavetti was nothing short of magical! Roshan and the Team made me feel incredibly welcome and taken care of: from the first moment I arrived they made sure I had everything I needed. They organised dinner even though the restaurant wasn’t open (and it was fantastic), got me breakfast at 6am, and even made me a sandwich as I arrived very late. I also got an amazing massage 2 nights in a row despite changing schedules. Hospitality pure. The Hotel is tastefully decorated, a calm oasis with beautiful details and a very comfy bed. I’d give this place an 11/10.

Less than 1 km from Kabalana Beach, Sri Lanka Surf Villa Domus Graziella is a recently renovated property situated in Ahangama and features air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and private parking. With inner courtyard views, this accommodation provides a balcony and a swimming pool. The bed and breakfast offers garden views, a sun terrace and a 24-hour front desk. It was a really nice stay with a very friendly service. There is no kitchen or kettle in the room but you can use the kitchen upstairs which is great. Nice view on the terrace and plenty of space to relax. Breakfast was really good. It's a short walk to the closest beach but the beach with more bars and shops are a bit longer walk away or tuk tuk away it wasn't an issue for us but keep that in mind.

We stayed in one of the 2 rooms at the frist floor. Our room was very accommodating and spacious, with a kettle for making tea and coffee. Here also a refined choice of teas. The bathroom was huge with every possible comfort and nicely decorated. The value for money was really good. Do not hesitate one second!
