Agree with all the other comments this place is beautiful the garden is very well kept and the pool is a good size for relaxing or doing laps in. Coconuts straight from the trees, excellent breakfasts, happy friendly helpful staff and immaculately clean rooms. A little out of Galle so you need to take a tuk tuk anywhere you want... More

I have spent a total of 1 and half years visiting Galle to work and have always returned to Leijay for my accomodation. Why? First the quality and friendship of the staff from Yvonne the owner, impeccably professional and helpful and all of her staff: Dinesh and Sudath the tuk tuk drivers, , Dilini the secretary, Jayantha, the cook, Suresh...

We used Leijay as a base in Sri Lanka for 11 weeks, and we cannot say enough good (or great) things about the place. We have spent quite a bit of time in Galle Fort, but we were sooooo much happier to be able to stay outside the Fort. First, the pool is a fantastic place to spend the heat... More

Once you pass through the nondescript gate you walk into an oasis of palms, Bougainvillea and coconut trees. Look closer and you will see the carefully tendered orchid gardens, with no two orchid alike. When we reached our bungalow we genuinely thought we had made a mistake and checked the emails.

We booked Leijay Resort for 2 nights as the start of our Sri Lanka trip, and as a base for our Galle visit. It was an unexpected pleasant surprise. We found an oasis of rest: situated in the jungle outside Galle with a nice garden and pool, a perfect place to combine city/beach daytrips with relaxing at the resort villa.... More

On arrival, I was really worried about the location (it was hard to find and a little of the beaten track), but after talking to Dinesh, it really was no problem at all, they could provide us a tuk tuk and numerous times we just text him to pick us up. He was wonderful and very helpful. The room was... More

We stayed here for the long weekend of the Tamil and Sinhala new year and where happy for the family style, attentive staff and the real quiet environment. recommended for those who need to relax away from the city noise. Galle town and the beach are just minutes away on a tuc tuc operated by LeiJay. Max and Lella

Leijay Resort gave us the most amazing holiday. Beautiful surroundings the most wonderful staff who were so kind, helpful and thoughtful. Dinesh gave us lots of helpful advice about where to visit and also provided a great service taking us out and picking us up in the tuk tuk. The accommodation was first class the garden was beautiful a perfect... More

My wife and I stayed here while traveling around the world for a year. Hands down, this is the best value and best experience we have found anywhere. The garden is unbelievably beautiful, the pool refreshing, meals on the peaceful veranda delicious and a good price, and the room comfortable. We did a few day trips in the area, but... More
