Located 16 km from Dutch Church Galle, the property provides an outdoor swimming pool and free private parking. Guests can enjoy garden views. Seems really the best location for staying in Hikkaduwa. Best beach 3min walk. DreamTime is total relaxation. No noise or light pollution only nature. Railway is near but not so close that it would affect sleeping.

Featuring a patio with garden views, a garden and a bar, MAKAI Surf House can be found in Ahangama, close to Ahangama Beach and 21 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium. Private parking is available on site at this recently renovated property. The accommodation offers free WiFi throughout the property, as well as a terrace and a family-friendly restaurant. The place is pretty, well maintained, and clean. Nice vibe to chill. All the staff is super friendly and welcoming. I appreciate the guide for a quick intro to the town, restaurants, and surf spots. I also appreciate the board with upcoming events around. Makai is at a ~6 min walk from the main street and in front of a bus stop in this main street, convenient to go to downtown or surf spots. Even more convenient if you have a motorbike. Some of the restaurants nearby are good so you can just walk to get good food. Would recommend!

Set a few steps from Mahamodara Beach and 2.3 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium in the centre of Galle, The Tide's Tale offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. The property was built in 2022 and features air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace. The property is non-smoking and is situated 2.8 km from Dutch Church Galle. Very neat, clean and comfortable accommodation. The host is a very friendly and knowledgeable person, he has spent years driving tourists around so has good knowledge of what to do and what not to do, while being completely honest and not pushing anything on to you - which is very unique here. The breakfast was incredibly generous, luckily we fast from 4pm each day so we could fit it in by the morning. There was a large variety of food he kept bringing us so it certainly won't leave you wanting! The location is close to Galle so it makes access to the Fort quick and easy - which we loved. It's also situated across from a beach which we found very nice for chilled sunsets - there were only about

At the homestay, all units come with a desk. With a private bathroom equipped with a bidet and free toiletries, units at the homestay also have free WiFi, while some rooms come with a terrace. At the homestay, the units come with bed linen and towels. We were guests at Villa Ema for a week and it was difficult to leave. The villa is beautiful and gives you the feeling of being on holiday but at the same time a bit of home. We don't need to talk about the cleanliness - everything 10/10 and the service too. Every morning there is an insanely great authentic breakfast prepared by the grandmother. The family that manages this accommodation is just great, lovely and they turn every wish into reality. I even got a birthday present at the end. It was a wonderful holiday that I won't forget, we are very grateful for this hospitality and will definitely be back!

At the homestay, units are equipped with a desk. A balcony with an outdoor dining area and sea views is offered in all units. All units feature a private bathroom with a shower and slippers.

At the homestay, the family-friendly restaurant is open for dinner, lunch and high tea and specialises in local cuisine. You get a stunning Sea view and a wide open balcony that you could relax and enjoy some drinks. They share the same beach with Radisson Blue so, the security is great too. Fireworks at night by the Luuma beach restaurant is a bonus. The host is super welcoming and you will love her immediately. It feels like she wants to offer her best possible services. We had to catch a train at early 7 and she, even in the dazzling early hours, managed a TukTuk for us standing in the rain. Even a good friend wouldn’t do that for you at 6 in the morning.
