Saman and his family are amazing, it’s a beautiful place in front of the beach. They are so welcoming, treating us with candor, the room is so clean! The breakfast is delicious and big!! At night you sleep with the noise of the waves, during the day you can relax seeing the sea just in front of your room. The place is just 7’ away by car from the fort and the old city. We totally recommend to stay in this place!!

Indika’s beach villa felt like a home away from home. Our room was great, directly overlooking the sea which was wonderful to wake up to. The food was delicious and authentic, and Indika was an amazing host who made us feel like family. We’ve made friends for life! Highly recommend this beautiful beach side paradise!

    Orchard House is a gem in Galle Fort. It has a beautiful, lush garden courtyard and breakfast/seating area, and a pool with loungers for when the heat becomes too much. The staff are absolutely excellent - nothing is too much trouble, at any time of day. The place is furnished like a private home and we felt extremely relaxed and at home here.
