This spectacular place has outstanding ocean views and is the only hotel in Galle with its own stretch of beach for swimming. The more adventurous may want to take a safari in Uda Walawe National Park where they can see an amazing number of animals, including lots of elephants. Designed by Geoffrey Bawa, who is perhaps Sri Lanka's greatest modern architect, this place has two swimming pools, an outstanding spa, and spacious rooms have lovely pine wood floors and open air corridors. Dine at one of the three restaurants, and take meals with breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean. - [Lighthouse Hotel]

Aman Resorts bought and renovated this 400 year old property in 2005 and since then it has been one of the top rated resorts in Sri Lanka. Located within Galle Fort this hotel is a collection of buildings. Amangalla comes from Sanskrit for peace “Aman” and galla which is the Sinhalese name for the town. Originally the buildings were used as headquarters for the Dutch Commander and his officers, and years later it was used by British soldiers but in 1865 it became a hotel. Impressively large four-poster beds and planter's chairs are dwarfed by the towering ceilings. The bedrooms, salons, and bathrooms are all large and immaculate. The spa has been recognized internationally with several awards. - [Amangalla Hotel]

The view from the rooftop bar makes for an unforgettable stay at this charming hotel which is perched on a hill. As it is the highest property in town, enjoying this view requires a climb up a steep hill, although local taxis are available for the trip. The rooftop bar is the place to enjoy a drink or a meal and take in the spectacular views of the town, the countryside, and the Indian Ocean. There is a lovely swimming pool and the colonial style architecture is quite enjoyable. Guest rooms are modest size and all connect through an open corridor that lets in gentle ocean breezes in the hot afternoon. - [Lady Hill Hotel]
