Hotel Review
Offering total immersion in an atmosphere of extravagant exuberance, The Owl and the Pussycat is a gorgeously intimate hotel with quite a twist. Inspired by Edward Lear’s fanciful poem, guests are invited to journey into a playful world of delightful design, shaded by swaying palms and set against the salty crash of the waves. 17 opulent suites brim with antiques, bold patterns and pleasing pops of colour — many boast balconies overlooking the Indian Ocean, whilst some offer funky open-plan kitchens and spacious polished concrete bathrooms. Curl up in cosy cushioned armchairs aplenty, splash around in the pool, and quench your thirst with a cheeky cocktail before dining alfresco under the moon at the aptly named Runcible Spoon. Romantic bliss with a wacky dusting of flamboyant fun.

The Owl and the Pussycat
Galle is currently Sri Lanka’s most fashionable hotspot and the opening of Owl and the Pussycat brings an added splash of design glamour to the region. Overlooking the sea, it has great food, attractive bedrooms and a lovely laid-back vibe.
