Tamarind Hill's exquisite dining, signature treatments at the spa, a secluded infinity pool and the Gini Ganga river that flows by, are all part of fine pleasures here.

    Beautiful & peaceful oasis
    Thanks to Roger and the team (Chef Lakmal, Sangeeth & Senura) for so much personal attention and exceptional service. Very peaceful surroundings and great to have such a nice pool to deal with the Sri Lankan heat. Thanks also to Gihan at Housekeeping for the extra effort with…

    Beautiful place, marred by inexperienced management.
    The location is quiet and the rooms are great. Staff were courteous, although we sometimes wondered who was the boss, there did not seem to be a manager around that we could converse with. Food was mediocre, so we only ate breakfast, which was included. And a lunch when we…

    Hi, I heard that the government implemented a curfew in the northern districts of Galle due to violence between two religious groups (the news is reporting that 62 homes and business were burned). Is your hotel located in an area subject to the curfew? Is it safe to leave the hotel?
    Hi Robert, the curfew is over now. And the hotel is not located close to the area where the dispute happened. It's perfectly safe around the hotel.
