From the moment I arrived the staff did an amazing job, nothing was any trouble and always a smile.. add to this an amazing building and decor you have an amazing hotel. I made the mistake of booking a place in the fort for the social aspect that was more expensive and half as nice in every department, probably forgo the 3 nights in the new place and return to Taavetti, you won't regret booking i promise you.

We loved our stay at the Mer.Chant. The flawlessly designed hotel is built around an old market place and staff is happy to tell visitors about the history of the place. Everyone was very welcoming, our room was beautiful and the food delicious. We will definitely miss the coconut water and local fruit for breakfast just as much as hopper night on Wednesday!

Ginganga Lodge

Hotel in Galle

Ginganga Lodge in Galle features an outdoor swimming pool and a garden. This 4-star hotel features free WiFi and a terrace. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk.

X
Xavier
From
South Africa
Tucked away from the hum of the main road, Ginganga Lodge is not merely a retreat—it is an immersion into the poetry of Sri Lanka’s forest. Here, nature composes its own symphony; the rustling leaves, the chatter of squirrels, and the call of distant birds weave an atmosphere both tranquil and alive. Dappled light filters through the trees, casting ever-changing patterns upon exquisitely curated interiors, where every element seems chosen with a deliberate, almost intuitive sense of harmony. From the moment you arrive, a warmth envelops you—not just from the tropical air but from the staff, who welcome you with the kind of attentiveness that feels more familial than formal. They hear your car long before you reach the entrance, waiting to greet you as though you are returning home. This level of care extends through every facet of the lodge, most notably in the details: the artistry with which the fruit at breakfast is cut, the thoughtful placement of a single, perfect flower, the way each piece of furniture seems to belong to both time and place. The rooms are sanctuaries of refinement—spacious, tastefully adorned, and seamlessly integrated with their surroundings. The bathroom, a masterpiece in itself, features an outdoor shower where one bathes under a canopy of leaves, enveloped in the intoxicating scent of the forest. It is the kind of space that makes departure a reluctant affair, for leaving Ginganga Lodge is not just leaving a hotel; it is stepping away from an experience, a feeling, a reverie made real. For those who seek beauty, serenity, and a place where nature and design exist in perfect dialogue, Ginganga Lodge is nothing short of extraordinary.

    The Galle Fort in Galle is my absolute favorite place — it has a vibe of its own. It’s completely safe at any time of the day, even for solo travelers. There’s so much history within the Fort walls to learn about and beautiful architecture to explore. The hosts at the restaurants and hotels inside the Fort are amazing, and the service is truly of international standard. The view of the Indian Ocean from the Ramparts is simply breathtaking. There are plenty of restaurants offering a wide variety of cuisines and dishes to try. Outside the Fort, I highly recommend visiting the beaches at Unawatuna, just a few kilometers from Galle City Centre. While you’re there, don’t miss the Japanese Peace Pagoda at Rumassala — you won’t regret it! Yaddehimulla Road in Unawatuna has everything from surf schools and restaurants to gem shops, gelato spots, international cuisines, and everything in between. For quick bites and essentials, SPAR Supermarket at Galle City Centre is your go-to place. You’ll find tasty rice and curry meals, ready-to-eat options, mosquito repellent, basic medical supplies, snacks, good-quality fruits, and other everyday necessities.

    If you're going to Galle, stay inside the Fort. Lots of charming little villas and boutique hotels where you can drop your bags and go walkabout, soaking in the colonial charm and enjoying the relaxed vibe. Great food options, live music and incredible sunsets.

    The vibe that Galle fort shares during anytime of the day is marvelous. It is a super child friendly place with amazing shops and places at every corner. It has the ambience of a unique blend between antiquity and modernity filled with aesthetic taste of rich culture and art. Seems its potential is still untapped fully. Loved the eateries and little cafes designed with elegance and charm. It showcases the serenity of a typical European port city with Dutch colonial architecture.

    We originally had one full day planned at Galle but we ended up being there for longer. We didn't need to be there any longer than one day. The walk around the Fort was lovely but there were not really many good shops to see and it was a little touristy in the Fort. Unfortunately they still let cars and motorbikes and Tuk Tuks in the street of the Fort which was difficult to navigate. Not really much to do in Galle except for the Fort.

    We spent 18 days in Sri Lanka and probably we had around 10 accommodations all over the country. The accommodation was very comfortable, the location was good but… I have no doubt that at De Moda boutique hotel we met the most friendly hosts from this vacation. Thank you, guys , for all the attention & kindness and advice that you showed us!

    Hotel and the staff especially the two ladies working were just lovely. Very friendly, and our little boy was sad to leave them as they took the time to play with him. The breakfast was a Sri Lankan breakfast which was good. Highly recommend the hotel, it definitely has the Galle fort charm. Room great size.
