Featuring an outdoor swimming pool, a garden as well as a terrace, Asiri Yoga Retreat is located in the centre of Galle, a few steps from Boossa Beach.

Incredible views directly to the ocean. It couldn’t have been better. The sound of the waves was like a meditation to me- I slept really well. The space downstairs was perfect for the yoga session- really calming, with relaxing views and I truly enjoyed the yoga class. The owner is very friendly and helpful and advised us about beach and where we could park. In the hotel there’s a parking for 1 car only, so book in advance.

The staff compliments the story behind this Colonial Masterpiece and they were Excellent. Service, Quality, Food and Drinks.

    Galle is a city with a combination of a Dutch period fort and beach with all modern facilities. Dutch Fort is a very live well, reserved place with excellent attractions and choices. Walking over the museums and art galleries located in preserved ancient buildings is an excellent experience. fairly good nightlife available with ample choices of fine dining. within Fort, they charge higher prices due to high tourist demand. yet affordable eateries, supermarkets and facilities are available out of Fort within walking distance. Also people in Galle are very friendly, professional and helpful .

    Coming from a young Country (New Zealand circa 1840), but aware of Sri Lanka's varietal Dutch, Portuguese, British, Colonial Histories, I found the Buildings left behind by the long ago passing presence of these Nations, amongst the reality of present day life within the confines of the Galle Fort, an alluring, appealing and enticing cocktail of fortuitous personal experience, and would encourage all who might be so disposed and contemplating a visit, to definitely list Galle as a Priority, Not to be Missed...

    We loved this small cozy hotel which was really worth the money. The pool was clean and wonderfully framed by vegetation. The monkeys jumped around in the trees and we got wonderful pictures of them. The 5 minute tuktuk ride to Galle fort, a beautiful area with lots of sights, eateries and shopping was free. At the hotel they had an unusual number of breakfast options. Everything from Sri Lankan breakfast to different pancakes and waffles and fresh fruits. The beds were comfortable and the area around the hotel was very quiet!

    The accommodation clearly exceeded our expectations. There are only two rooms in the complex, which makes it pleasantly quiet. Despite the small complex, there is always a janitor who is there for every request and serves breakfast very lovingly. In general, both the owner and the janitor were extremely friendly. Last but not least, the room and the pool were very modern, clean and inviting. The bed was also the most comfortable of the Sri Lanka trip so far. We liked the hotel so much that we extended our stay.

    The lovely welcome from the owners Sri Lankan and Italian, and their staff, They were all so friendly. perfect breakfast. we loved the Italian cappuccino, fresh fruit juice, omelettes, fresh mixed fruit and delicious waffle. The accommodation is new and very stylish. The location was also perfect, within 10 minutes walk of Galle fort or a short tuk tuk ride to anawatuna delawella and jungle beaches, which are all worth a visit, but best to get there early ax they can get busy.

    This is a beautiful historic building. The room was excellent, and the lobby and dining areas were very comfortable and tastefully decorated. The quality of the service and the attention to detail from the three men managing this hotel was absolutely perfect. The breakfasts we were served, which were included in the room price, were the best we've ever had. This hotel was perfect in every way, and we will definitely stay there again the next time we are in Galle Fort.

    We had a wonderful stay at Villa White Queen that still is one of our best stays in Sri Lanka during our 3 month travel. Chamara’s attentiveness, together with the facilities really made for a personal and luxurious boutique experience. Even though the hotel is situated outside of the old town the stylish 5 min TukTuk ride just added to the experience. we have already booked our next stay here together with family and friends.

    We had a wonderful stay at Ceylon Olive. Initially we had booked one night, but booked one night extra because we liked it so much! If you’re looking for a beautiful boutique hotel in Galle away from the crowded fort, but still well located (10 minutes by tuktuk, then this the best place to stay. Kumudu is literally the best host we had in Sri Lanka. Very warm and welcoming.
