Four places.
One stretch of coast.

Breathe Hospitality runs a boutique hotel, two restaurants and a beach club between Galle Fort and Habaraduwa, a twenty-minute drive from end to end.

We run the places we would want to walk into.

Breathe Hospitality is a small, owner-run group on Sri Lanka's southern coast. One hotel, two restaurants and a beach club, close enough to each other that the same people can be in all of them on the same day.

Nothing here is a franchise or a management contract. Every kitchen, every room and every team is ours, and the decisions get made on the island.

Malu — Ocean Essence, Ceylon Soul

Restaurant · Galle Fort

Ceylonese seafood with a contemporary hand, served inside a restored 17th-century villa in the heart of the Fort.

Kabala's terraces seen from above through coconut palms: wooden tables on the sand and more tables under a corrugated roof
Kabala Unawatuna

Beach club · Unawatuna

Terraces at the water's edge under coconut palms. The day's catch from the fishermen working the same bay, grilled and served with the sunset.

Small group, short distances.

  1. Bought on the beach, not from a warehouse.

    Kabala and Malu buy the day's catch from the fishermen working the same water you can see from the table. No middlemen, no shortcuts.

  2. Run by the people who live here.

    The teams are local and the management is on the island. When something needs deciding, it gets decided that day, on site.

  3. Four places, one standard.

    Different kitchens, different rooms, the same idea of how a guest should be treated, whether you are inside the Fort walls or barefoot on the sand.

Overhead view of a teak table: a matcha latte with leaf latte art on a patterned tile coaster, a wooden board with a Malu card and a Breathe card, a hand reaching for a spoon, and a small potted plant
The same table setting turns up in more than one of our places.

What guests say about Breathe Collections.

The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help. The breakfast was delicious every morning, and we even got to watch monkeys while we ate — such a unique experience!
