Above the old port of Galle, The Sun House Galle is a colonial house from the 1860s that was once the home of a Scottish spice merchant. It is now a small, elegant hotel with two tropical gardens, a swimming pool, and views over the town and the fort. For travellers who want luxury boutique hotels in Sri Lanka with real history and a quiet, personal feel, it is one of the most atmospheric addresses in Galle.
The bedrooms are individually styled, with the character of a private house rather than a hotel block. Breakfast is served on the verandah, and the Sun House hotel Galle is known for its food, which ranges from traditional Sri Lankan dishes to contemporary cooking. Evenings start with cocktails at the bar at sunset. For anyone comparing Sri Lanka luxury resorts and hotels, this is the one to choose for atmosphere rather than size.
The pool sits among the tropical greenery, and the grounds are a peaceful retreat after a day of walking the fort ramparts. The rooms have air conditioning and free Wi-Fi, and the hotel can provide baby cots for families.
The location is easy to place on a southern route. Sun House Galle Sri Lanka looks across to Galle Fort, and it is about two hours from the airport. We often include it in our Sri Lanka tour packages at the start or end of a south coast stay. From here the shops, cafés, and ramparts of the fort, as well as the best things to do in Galle, are close by. That makes it a natural base for luxury travel in Sri Lanka.
Rates vary by room, season, and length of stay, so we prepare a personalized quote based on your dates and party size.
