“Galawatta Beach Resort's greatest strength, in my opinion, is its beachfront location where you can swim with turtles - a truly special experience. The staff's genuine warmth enhances this laid-back atmosphere, and I particularly appreciated the spacious apartments with balconies overlooking the ocean. For a relaxed stay centered around nature, this resort is an excellent choice.”
