A pool ringed by palms, mornings with a generous breakfast, and hosts who take care of every detail — a short tuk-tuk ride from Galle Fort.
A small, family-run retreat on the quiet edge of Galle — peaceful, spotless, and made with care.
Deltora Villa sits on Bope Cross Road, just a short tuk-tuk ride from the ramparts of Galle Fort. Bright, air-conditioned rooms open onto a pool set in tropical garden; mornings begin with a generous Sri Lankan breakfast, and the family who run it are, as guests put it, always available to help. The kind of place people call a very pleasant surprise.
Guests use the same words across nearly every review: attentive, friendly, helpful. The team here go well beyond what is expected — arranging late checkouts, letting guests order dinner in, and making you feel at home.
Sri Lankan spreads, pancakes, waffles, eggs, and fresh fruit — generous and freshly prepared, included with your stay. Vegetarian guests find plenty to love; the presentation, as one guest put it, was chef's kiss.
A clean pool set in lush greenery — guests describe it as a haven after a hot day of sightseeing, with the palms and garden adding to the calm, peaceful atmosphere.
A complimentary tuk-tuk into the historic Fort, included for guests. The Fort is a short ride away — so you can enjoy the ramparts, restaurants, and shops whenever you want, then return to the quiet of the garden.
“Deltora Villa is made with love, like most things Sri Lankan. The pool nestled in the greenery is just beautiful.”

Three individually furnished rooms, each air-conditioned and opening onto the garden — with a private kitchenette and en-suite bathroom in every room.
A calm, spacious room with an extra-large king bed and its own patio opening onto the garden. Step out in the morning and feel the greenery — then sit down to breakfast.
Wake to garden views from your private balcony. An extra-large double bed, a kitchenette for slow mornings in, and the peace of the garden just below — a favourite for couples.
A little more space for families — a generous king bed plus a sofa bed, with a balcony looking out over the garden and pool. Comfortable for two adults travelling with a younger guest.
A very pleasant surprise discovering this hotel. The place is charming, quiet, and well maintained. The staff are particularly attentive and truly take great care of their guests. The Sri Lankan breakfast prepared on request is generous and absolutely delicious. The pool is clean and the overall atmosphere of the hotel is peaceful and relaxing. A very good place that I would recommend without hesitation.

Google reviewDeltora Villa is made with love, like most things Sri Lankan. The pool nestled in the greenery is just beautiful. The breakfast was lovely -- being vegetarian did not hamper our experience as there were pancakes, waffles etc, all delicious. All in all, you cannot go wrong with this one. Book without hesitation.
Google reviewWhat a gem! We loved our stay in this hotel -- I have not had such a good and peaceful sleep in a while being in Sri Lanka. The bed is very comfortable, the room and bathroom were spacious enough, freshly renovated and very clean. The staff is super friendly, helpful and non-intrusive. Breakfast was delicious too.
Google reviewLoved the weekend stay I had with my friends at this wonderful boutique villa. The staff were super helpful and nothing we would request was too much of a trouble for them. The breakfast was exceptional too. The villa itself was beautifully and artfully decorated and clean. Would 100% recommend.
