The property is absolutely gorgeous. When you enter from the main door you find yourself in front of a big clean pool, surrounded by a curated big garden with palm trees and beach view. You are literally on the beach where nobody walks by, but some local fishermen. The bedrooms are very big, with each it’s own big bathroom. Also, for the whole stay we had a great local butler who stayed at the villa and was always ready to help. He made us breakfast every day. He drove us to do groceries and cooked lunch for us. He booked us restaurants and arranged taxis when we asked for it. Including two masseuses who came to the villa to massage us. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and we wished we stayed longer 🙏

The local host Mich and his family are super helpful and hospitable. The food is delicious home-style cooking on site. It's ideal very quiet location away from cars and discos. At night total silence is bliss!

This hotel is an absolute gem in Sri Lanka. We've visited several places, and this is our favorite. It's beautifully located, allowing you to walk for miles along the beach without encountering anyone. The beach is pristine, free of litter, unlike some other places in Sri Lanka. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and beautifully designed. The service is excellent, and the restaurant offers a delicious and diverse menu. There are plenty of excursion options nearby, with stunning wetlands and lagoons perfect for bird watching. This wonderful place has been crafted with great care. Interestingly, it is also very affordable compared to other hotels. It's definitely worth traveling a bit further to enjoy this exceptional and beautiful spot. An absolute must-visit. I highly recommend it to everyone.

A very lovely accommodation in a quiet and nice neighbourhood near turtle beach. Chathy (the owner) made sure we felt comfortable and like home. He was very helpful regarding organising a turtle watching and giving recommendations for restaurants, beaches. Sri Lankan Breakfast was extra delicious!

Amazing location as the property was in beach front, with a little gate giving access to the beach. Due to being low season we are the only guest but the quality of the stay was not impacted, and the host was amazing. Swimming pool is modern and it was clear even if it was just for us. The room was clean , spacious and air conditioning was powerful. We recommend the local breakfast with sea view. Lunch and dinner was not possible during our stay but host recommended us 'Priya Moon Cafe and Seafood Restaurant' located 500m away and it was so good we came back during the second night.

Everything was perfect, the hotel is really close from the beach where you can see baby turtles come out their nest to go to the ocean. Don is really helpful and was always there for me, I booked a motor bike with him, did my laundry, had diner at the hotel, and he organised my day trip to Yala national park and then Ella with some stops on the road. I’d come back for sure.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The owners are warm and friendly the beach is terrific and we swam in the ocean numerous times ( you need to be confident in the ocean ). The staff are exceptional and their different personalities shine through. This should always be encouraged, staff are people and should be treated with respect and staff here seemed to be at ease which we personally liked. Next to the staff we really rate the food. The coconut cake was heaven on a plate ..... order it if you see it on the menu. The owner allowed us to be part of his birthday celebrations ..... how nice of him & his wife. Lovely lovely people. We would happily return. Final word is to the troop of pets. They seem well looked after and that warmed us to this establishment straight away !!!

    Lovely studio set just back from the beach in a quiet and beautiful area. It’s was so wonderful to be in such a quiet and serene location with the waves the only sound. Nish is a fantastic host and the food was both delicious and plentiful. He very kindly organised a Sri Lankan cookery class with him and his Mum, also got to eat it afterwards, yum. The beach is stunning and had a few plays in the waves although a little rough to swim. Also had a yoga class a few minutes away which was hard but felt great after.

    I will again choose this down-to-earth, authentic beach house in kalametiya over nearby resorts (with 2x, 3x times the price) for the very simple reason: you are the only guest staying here. There is only one room in this small patch of land. It makes you feel cozy and at home. There are helpers who would come in to clean or cook for you on request but mostly you will be left on your own. Perfect if you like privacy and want to stay longer here.

    Lovely villa with spacious bedrooms and a nice living room and terrace facing the pool and the garden. Very convenient with kids. The beach is almost all yours and pretty but the waves are huge so young kids cannot swim by themselves. Location is remote which is good and bad (beautiful nature but a bit far away from places to visit - except Udawalawe Park and Mulkirigala temple which are easy to reach and both amazing to visit). Philip and Dushantha are very nice and were adorable with the kids.
