A coastal luxury lifestyle retreat, Radisson Collection Resort, Galle can be found on the country’s stunning south coast, just steps from the soft sandy beach, overlooking the glistening Indian Ocean. The city of Galle is the perfect setting for this high-end, highly experiential Radisson Collection brand.
