Closenberg has become my perfect escape from the busy city and hectic worklife. It is located on a headland and the view is breathtaking. It is only five minutes from the country's cultural capital Galle and one of the most happening beaches Unawatuna. With that said I have access to various activities around the area while relaxing at this intimate... More

The Closenberg! Remembering the countless trips down drums up many a nostalgic memory. The food is to die for, offering a wide range of Eastern and Western cuisine. Lunch usually comprises an assortment of classic Lankan dishes, including mouthwatering chicken and fish curries and an array of delectable vegetables.

The restaurant was atrotious! the sandwich at lunch time was stale and... More

It is a wonderful, colonial, villa style building with a historic charm that is rare and unique. The rooms overlook a gorgeous view of the ocean and you will wake to the... More
