As one of the only stand alone resorts in Galle, the Aditya Hotel Resort has a personality that is a charming balance of Sri Lankan culture and Balinese influences. On a secluded beach in Rathgama it is a dedication to Sri Lanka’s Sun God as a representation of a slice of heaven here on earth that the select few get to experience. Stand-alone suites and two villas are the places where you will make memories. Decorated with both Sri-lankan charm and with antiques from Sri Lanka and Bali, they are homes away from home whilst you are in Galle. Opening up to spacious verandas, there are pockets of privacy that are a welcome refuge after a day of exploring. Likened to an opera, the dining is a symphony of flavours delivered by passionate chefs. Whilst the food nourishes the body, allow the spa to nourish the mind. Enveloping the senses the experts have hands that will ease aching muscles and quieten the mind with techniques that have roots in Thai and Balinese practices. As a place of significant cultural practices and production, take a visit to a tea factory where the finest tea lives are sorted, dried and shipped to the world or see the work done at the Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery.

With the Lions Rock overlooking the manicured gardens and tranquil spaces of the Aliya Resort & Spa. The infinity swimming pool where days take a slower pace, the view is a remarkable reminder that you have arrived in Sri Lanka. Yoga classes in the morning start the day with moments of reflection and moving the body in ways that feel like the play of childhood. Sitting within Sri Lanka’s cultural triangle, the resort is perfectly situated to explore the best of Sri Lanka without needing to venture too far. Inspired by Sri Lanka’s beloved elephants, the motif is present throughout the resort, as a love letter for this magnificent animal. Through artwork, the colours of the interiors and the magnificence of the architecture, the bedrooms are romantic and comfortable. The resort has wooden chalet, whose camping elements have a western element of whimsy to them. They are an alternative way to enjoy the resort what ignites a sense of adventure.
