"Superb stay at the Jetwing. Every single staff member was unfailingly courteous and kind, helping make our stay really memorable. A special shout out to Chef Chintaka and Chef Induni for accommodating all our food requests and even concocting special meals for us. Absolutely amazing people and delicious food. The rooms were spacious, beautiful and very comfortable. It was great to be able to walk out to the beach and enjoy the environment. We have nothing negative to note and if you're...

"Beautiful property, the rooms were spacious and uniquely decorated and fit the jungle aesthetic. Due to its proximity to Yala National Park, we saw many wild Peacocks roaming around in the backyard. This also meant that the Safari jeep was able to pick us up on the main road easily on the way to the park. On the downside, the property was located at the end of a dirt path off the main road and was not properly marked on the map. This made it very difficult was taxi drivers to find the hotel....

Yala Safari Camping

8/10 Good

"Amazing food ! The young cook is an excellent ! Lovely views from the dining area . We saw giant squirrels , black faced langurs, a tiny deer , monitor lizard, hares etc. on the property grounds. Only down side is that the rooms feel a bit isolated from the staff/dining area . we had a power cut in the middle of the night for quite a few hours and nobody came to help. Otherwise, staff were kind and very helpful"

Laya Safari

10/10 Excellent

"Literally a paradise, the view from the room or actually anywhere in the hotel is amazing. Great food, good gym and pool. Very relaxing, since you can hear the ocean 24/7. Location is amazing cause it’s very convenient to the national Park. If you are doing a safari it’s a great option, it makes everything way easier. The room, was recently renovated and it was perfect. Very comfortable and luxurious. This place has some extra magic with elephants occasionally roaming the property. And every staff member being super friendly going above and beyond making sure you have the best time. Already planning to come back."

DoubleTree by Hilton Weerawila Rajawarna Resort

10/10 Excellent

"My parents were there to celebrate my dad’s birthday, and although we celebrated a little late, they had such a wonderful experience. Quoting my dad “The birthday arrangement was beautiful, the cake was lovely, and the famous DoubleTree cookie was the best. The breakfast and dinner buffets were both excellent, and the amenities were exceptional.” What really stood out to them was the warmth and attention to detail throughout their stay. My mum still can’t stop complimenting the food; my parents have travelled all around Sri Lanka and tried many different cuisines, so coming from them, that is actually really huge to hear! Next time I’m in Lanka, I already know where my first stop will be. 10/10 for such a great stay!"

Big Game Yala by Eco Team

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great stay. Different experience but great. Near to the Yala National Park and very nice place in contact with nature and the best... they offered evening and night walks which was amazing. Lovely PLace. It is a MUST!!! They also offer the safari tour to Yala National Park and it was AMAZING!!!"

Leopard Nest in Yala

10/10 Excellent

"We were the only guests in this sprawling property within the buffer zone of the Yala National park. The BBQ dinner under the stars was worth remembering. The whole property kept the entire electric generation system running for only 2 guests. The air conditioning was perfect and the view from above the canopy was very good. Mention must be made of Patisa and his team. The chef was wonderful with his breakfast and dinner. A great stay. Never felt unsafe as were the only guest on the day."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Galkaduwa?

The best area to stay in Galkaduwa is along the main coastal strip, particularly around the stretch known as Galkaduwa Beach.

This area is the primary choice for visitors, offering direct access to the Indian Ocean. It's characterised by a series of hotels and villas located among palm trees, all facing the sea. The main road, Galle Road (A2), runs parallel to the coast, making it easy to travel between properties and nearby attractions.

Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will find this area perfect. Many hotels here offer private beach access, spa facilities, and ocean-view dining. You can enjoy strolls along the sand, watch the local fishermen, or simply unwind by the water.

For families, staying along Galkaduwa Beach is also an excellent option. Properties often feature swimming pools, spacious grounds, and easy access to the calm waters suitable for swimming.

When is the best time to go to Galkaduwa?

The best time to visit Galkaduwa is during the dry season, which typically runs from December to March.

During these months, you'll experience warm, sunny weather with minimal rainfall, making it ideal for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities. The sea is generally calmer, superb for swimming and water sports. This period is particularly good for couples seeking a relaxing beach holiday.

Another good time to visit is from July to September. While there might be occasional short showers, these often pass quickly, leaving plenty of sunshine. This period is also popular for whale watching off the southern coast, which could be a memorable experience for families with older children.
