    “Our stay at Taavetti was absolutely flawless. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the property and the hospitality. The Vibe: The ambiance is incredibly peaceful and serene, making it the perfect place to unwind. The Property: The rooms are beautifully designed, and the entire facility is gorgeous and immaculate. The Staff: Exceptional service! The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The Location: Ideal positioning. It is within walking distance to a lovely private beach and just a quick, easy tuk-tuk ride away from the historic Galle Fort. We already cannot wait to come back, especially once the new beach club is up and running! Highly recommended.”

    “I spent 3 days in Galle at the Taveetti hotel. Everything was immaculate, food was healthy and delicious ( although I would have preferred more Sri Lankan options on the menu) The beach club faces a great beach and it is very well looked after. The reception is quick at responding to any need. The massage I booked was really really good. If I go back to Sri Lanka I will definitely go back to Tavetti.”

  • Beautiful!

  • Schönes Hotel im sri-lankischen Stil mit dazugehörigem Beach Club

    10/10

    Uwe · couple · 2026-03-16

    “Es gab einen hoteleigenen Beach Club, wo man frühstücken und Dinner einnehmen konnte (sehr lecker). Außerdem gehörte ein sehr gepflegter Strand dazu mit Liegen etc. Wunderbarer Blick auf den Ozean inkl. Sonnenuntergang!”

  • Do not stay here if you expect any amenities. It is NOT a five star hotel.

    “Very little! The rooms were lovely. There was no bar or restaurant despite what it says on booking.com. The ‘private beach’ is up the road and across the street - misleading! The staff were great, the guy on reception was not helpful.”
