Elysium

Gorgeous luxurious small hotel on a lovely beach. The staff are excellent and the rooms perfect. Nice pool and lots of places to sit out and chill. If you are in Southern Sri Lanka, go, you will be delighted you did. And close to lots of great places in and around Galle.

We had an amazing 4-days stay at Elysium. This small Boutique Hotel is a true gem worth every 5-stars, nested a short-tuk-tuk ride from Unawatuna or Galle. The hotel is on a quiet beautiful beach. There are rocks, so you cannot swim directly in from the hotel, but you have a small and beautiful cove 100m on the right. And you can enjoy the view of fishermen on their stilts from the hotel terrace at sunrise and sunset! Spot is perfect for both. The 4 bedrooms are very large and comfortable, decorated with a lot of style. Beds are 5 stars. The food was the best we had during our entire stay in Sri Lanka, we had amazing dinners, and probably our best breakfast ever in travel (no buffet, dishes are cooked on-demand). A huge congrats to the chef!!! The owner Catherine and her staff were extremely careful to our comfort and needs. And we had an amazing NYE dinner and celebration. We highly recommend it and hope to be able to visit again in the future!

Absolutely loved this hotel! A secret oasis. The staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough for you. The food was to die for and the dining outside was exquisite. The rooms were clean and first class. Access onto the beach - we’ll never forget the sound of the sea! must stay!

Wow what an amazing few days my fiancé and I had at the Elysium. The most serene and beautiful location right on the beach. Everything about our stay was incredible! The staff, the food, our gorgeous villa / room, the atmosphere..! I could go on and on. It is without a doubt the most relaxing boutique hotel you could go to. Nothing is too much trouble, and everything is just perfect. We will 100% be returning next time we come back to Sri Lanka. We have already recommended the Elysium Collection to friends and family. We would also love to visit the other boutique hotels in the collection, we can imagine they are all amazing too. I would say this is definitely one of the nicest hotels we have stayed at, for many many reasons. If you want pure relaxation, do not hesitate to book this hotel, you will not be disappointed ! Big thanks Elysium & team :) Bella and Ricard xx

Nestled near the picturesque coastal town of Galle, Sri Lanka, the Elysium property owned by the prestigious Elysium Collection is an absolute gem. From the moment we arrived, my wife and I were in awe of the breathtaking location of this property. Situated right on the edge of the sea, the property offered stunning views of the sparkling Indian Ocean, making us feel like we were in paradise. The first thing that struck us about the Elysium property was its spaciousness. The property was designed with an understated luxury in mind, making it feel incredibly inviting and comfortable. The rooms were impeccably clean and beautifully decorated with a modern yet classic aesthetic. The property's amenities were top-notch, and we were pleasantly surprised by the little details, such as the fragrant candles and lush bathrobes in the room. The service was attentive and always on call to make sure all our needs were met. The highlight of our stay at the Elysium property was the breakfast spread, which was truly a feast for the senses. The variety of dishes on offer was impressive, with an international menu that catered to all tastes. We savored the delicious Turskish, Mexican and Western cuisine done at a very authentic level, including freshly squeezed juices, exotic fruits, and traditional delicacies. To our delight, there was a fabulous party organized during our stay, and we had the opportunity to witness the exceptional hospitality of the property's owner firsthand. The owner invited a legendary DJ from Ibiza, who played an eclectic mix of music that kept us dancing well into the night. The spread of food and drinks was beyond expectations for Sri Lanka, with an array of cocktails, canapes, and desserts that were nothing short of exquisite. In summary, our experience at the Elysium property was simply unforgettable. The exceptional service, luxurious amenities, and stunning location made for an experience that exceeded all expectations. My wife and I are already planning our return trip to this stunning property, and we cannot wait to indulge in the Elysium Collection's unparalleled hospitality once again. Bravo and keep up the class act !

This was a holiday to remember. There were 8 of us that stayed as a family and booked the whole villa. The villa is beautiful and so is the location. The staff were out of this world - so attentive but never in the way. We thoroughly recommend this place for families or large groups. The food from the kitchen team is also amazing. All the best there!

I was here at 2 october .this hotel is a very good and peaceful hotl . the hotel is very clean and well equipped.it has tea maker and safebox inside rooms. the hotel has free wifi in all areas with acceptable good and also has very kind staff. they can speak English and they help you all the time .Breakfast is very delicious Overall for this amount of money that you pay : the hotel is the best in srilanka.

I couldn’t recommend this hotel enough. The staff were lovely, the pool was just the right temperature with places to sit and lounge in the sun and shade against the backdrop of the roaring waves. The breakfast was top quality, both the Sri Lankan and the other cooked breakfast options. There are only 5 rooms in the hotel so it felt very tranquil and never any competition to use the gym, pool table or get the best loungers. Conveniently located between Galle, Mirissa and Weligama beach.
