“Leijay Garden Retreat, while not in the immediate bustle of Galle Fort, offers something more valuable: a true escape into nature, complete with tropical gardens alive with birds. The staff's genuine kindness and the excellent breakfasts are a great start for a day exploring the nearby historical attractions. I think the tranquil environment, coupled with easy access to Galle Fort, makes it an ideal spot for families or couples seeking both relaxation and a touch of local history.”
