Closenberg Hotel

Out of a movie! Glamour and all the frills, lovely sweetest staff and run by legends! Thanks for having me the pool is a highlight as well as the balcony rooms. Nice Sri Lankan breakfast, transports you back in time but in the best way... big love Emmanuel and Paloma

Absolutely spectacular! My recent stay at this exquisite property left me utterly spellbound. From the moment I set foot on the grounds, I knew I had stumbled upon a true gem. The location itself seems plucked from the pages of paradise, with its breathtaking vistas and serene ambiance. Let's talk about the food—prepare your taste buds for a symphony of flavours! Each dish presented with meticulous care and bursting with mouthwatering deliciousness. And the staff? Well, they're simply unparalleled. Their warmth and hospitality made me feel like royalty from the moment I arrived. The sea-view room, oh, what a marvel! Its ethereal charm and mesmerising vistas made it nearly impossible to tear myself away. And don't even get me started on the infinity swimming pool! The fact that it's filtered with salt water from the sea adds an extra touch of luxury that's simply unparalleled. This place truly has a way of calming the soul and rejuvenating the spirit. I have absolutely no complaints. None whatsoever! I would not hesitate for a moment to return to this idyllic haven, and I wholeheartedly recommend that everyone experience its magic at least once in their lifetime. Trust me, you won't regret it.

It was so good that we stayed twice, rearranging our trip so we could end it there as it was a total highlight. Staff were unbelievably kind and helpful, they were so wonderful with our wee baby that it felt like a home away from home. Best drinks in Sri Lanka, food was delicious and it’s just got a generally cool vibe. Beaut view and location, close enough to the action but just away so you can feel like you’re on your own secluded island. LOVE Closenberg, take me back!!!

This hotel is one of the best I've stayed in. The hospitality is incredible and the staff are very friendly. The infinity pool is very relaxing and it has an amazing view. The cocktails at the pool bar are also excellent. Highly recommended. Huge thanks to everyone at Closenberg :-)

The rooms come with an amazing view of the indian ocean. Closenberg seems to be a heritage hotel perched atop of a low lying cliffside corner of Galle beach. Mornings here are a wholesome treat for the soul accompanied by heartful(Sri Lankan preferred)breakfast followed by equally delicious meals. The hotel is laced with a skirting pool and cute front gardens ahead of every room. Beds are big, soft and fluffy. Though located in what seems to be a busy part of Galle, the hotel is nestled in a quieter corner, therefore, making it the perfect quaint getaway!

One of the most iconic spots to stay in galle. The location and food is something you cannot get anywhere in the world. Every day was better than the last. The staff who is pretty much like family now were the best and made sure I wasn’t inconvenienced in anyway. They also have a banger of a New Year’s party. Shout out tropical wax Sri Lanka !!!

Soaked in history and perfectly comfortable . Great food and lovely staff. Well located yet perfectly isolated Closenberg is a hidden gem that has beautiful views of the island . Very affordable rates

The most incredible infinty salt water pool with the best view! Dewata beach which is right below is the ideal beach to take surf lessons. Very safe for children! This Property is one of the few heritage colonial properties with the owner still living on the premises. I loved the view from the Point. Friendly Staff and great rice and curry!

Nice old hotel with a restaurant near beach, difficult to find acess road, tried local delight TOR lunch it was fine. Good view of of the sea with greenery around. Strolled around along coconut trees
