One of the most romantic places to stay in Sri Lanka, Aditya is a contemporary all-suite boutique hotel located on a secluded stretch of beach between Hikkaduwa and Galle. It features an elegantly modern design with high-vaulted ceilings, polished floors and splashes of vibrant color and is decorated with an eye-catching array of antiques, artefacts and pictures sourced from across the globe. Though incredibly spacious, it maintains a sense of intimacy through split-level flooring, pretty lily ponds, plant-filled courtyards and wide archways.

The twelve uniquely-designed suites, named after a group of twelve solar deities in Hindu mythology, are beautifully spacious, equipped with modern comforts and luxurious design elements including Jacuzzis, ocean view terraces and private gardens. There are two categories of rooms – Garden View (Shanthi) or Ocean View (Sagara) – as well as the magnificent Grand Surya Suite.

Enjoy a quiet siesta in the serene garden strewn with separated hammocks; visit the lengthy beach, scattered with coconut palms, and enjoy the hotel’s signature Athura cocktail by the aquamarine pool. Ideally located for trips to both sunny Hikkaduwa and historic Galle Fort, Aditya is a relaxing and romantic holiday retreat where you can de-stress, unwind and leave all of your cares behind.
