Ceylon Olive Galle, hotel in Galle

Ceylon Olive is a colonial-style villa located 1.7 mi from Galle Fort and 2.5 mi from Unawatuna Beach. It offers open air bath, free parking and WiFi.

We really enjoyed our stay at Ceylon Olive. We travelled there with our 1 year old and it was a nice changeup from staying at hotels on the beach. The room is beautifully designed and spacious. The host is personable and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. There's a onsite tuk-tuk, which is convenient for getting to Galle and Unawatuna.

    GALLE FORT is great for a one day visit.

    GALLE FORT is great for a one day visit. The town is small and some shops are repetitive, with the same items for sale, but there are a few unique shops and restaurants which make a visit worthwhile. Sunsets are beautiful; walk along the top of fort walls. Take a tuk tuk to the local fish market just outside of town for vibrant local life and walk back. We stayed overnight which made the visit more relaxing.

    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 .

    Best Hostel experience I had so far. The house, garden and food were awesome. Super friendly host. Property is a historical one. Garden is absolutely fascinating with lush greenery and eco friendly. Location is not far from the Galle town and Galle Dutch Fort. Can get the bus in front of the hostel and can go to the main town within few minutes it’s only 27 rupees. Host helped me to find tuk tuk on apps. Walking distance to Rumassala Jungle Beach and Unawatuna Beach. Highly recommend to those who looking for a best hostel experience.

Quiet, great location and only 10mins away from Galle Fort. His staff prepared a delicious meal for us in the evening and it was one of the best ones we’ve had in Sri Lanka. Unfortunately we went during rainy season but I can imagine that in summer it has a super chill vibe 🤙 thanks indika, we really appreciate your help with everything!

Special thanks to Udaya who works in the hotel and also drove us from Colombo in the hotel van, and to a safari in Yala. He made us feel extra special, and is a great asset to the hotel. Breakfast was also lovely, huge selection and portions of Sri Lankan or western food. Location of the hotel is great! Right in Galle Fort center.

You can see monkeys in the morning and evening. (Being your binoculars) The staff was super friendly and helpful whenever needed. The sri lankan breakfast was very yummy. Even though remotely in the nature if you want to go to galle it is still only 20 min by TukTuk or 5 min to the beach.

    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.

There are only four rooms so it's a very personal service. Halcyon is located between Unawatuna Beach and Galle Fort with easy access by tuk tuk. The food is delicious and we really enjoyed our time in the kitchen learning about Sri Lankan cooking methods. Highly recommend.
