Owl and the Pussy Cat
Galle

Owl and the Pussycat Hotel is one of the best independently owned luxury hotels in Galle, Sri Lanka. Perched at the water’s edge, it has 17 suites in which every detail is carefully crafted by hand, including the drawing room appropriately named after Edward Lear. The dining space is sprawled on an elegant terrace where you can indulge yourself in fine wines and light, fresh Sri Lankan food. The hotel provides several tailored relaxing experiences including the best massage in Galle on the edge of the ocean and private yoga as well as gym sessions. We highly recommend their dreamy beach shack!

The suits at the Owl and the Pussycat Hotel are created for a lavish stay in Galle. Spread over three floors - the garden level, the first and the second floor – the rooms are arranged in four unique and colourful buildings: the Blue, the Pink, the Yellow and the Beige. Their ocean-edge swimming pool is ideal for a dip in the evening after a long day of exploring the city. Their delightful beach shack sits under the swaying coconut trees is where their bartender can stir up a classic or spice it up with a Sri Lankan twist.

The hotel serves some of the best modern Sri Lankan cuisine in Galle. Their head chef specializes in delectable preparations of fresh fish and seafood and selects ingredients from the wide selection of fresh local produce. The staff will be happy to arrange a number of excursions for you including a village ride, aerial whale watching, lagoon fishing, visits to cinnamon plantations, Kenneliya rainforest and the ancient Buddhist Yatagala Rock Temple.

My favourite thing is to go where I've never been.
