This place is absolutely beautiful with stunning views all around! The hotel itself is big, stylish, and very comfortable. We really loved the nature here — everything is so green, peaceful, and full of life. The atmosphere is amazing — cozy, private, and relaxing. One of the highlights for us were the dogs — so friendly and sweet, they made our stay even more special! 🐶 The hotel doesn’t have too many rooms, which makes it feel more private and exclusive — perfect for a peaceful, quiet holiday. The staff are super friendly and always ready to help with anything. The hotel has a large area with beautiful spaces, amazing design, and lots of places to relax and enjoy. Everything feels thought-through and high quality. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it! 💫

The WiFi in the room did not work, for us this was no problem but we can imagine that some people want this.

“Amazing place to stay”
We loved our stay at this beautiful beach house, surrounded by beaches. It was so quiet there. We had the best walks and sunsets at the beach. Breakfast and dinner was very good. They even provided us with a breakfast bag to take with us when leaving for a safari at 4.45am. And laundry was done too (and it was never that clean and smelled so good on our trip. Staff was great. Thank you so much, would love to come back!

“Wonderful place to stay with amazing staff”
This is a beautiful beach villa, colonial style, with a lot of privacy. Wonderful location, really excluded, fantastic views. Great and very helpful staff. Rooms are spacious, well equipped, very clean, so are the bathrooms. We had there everything we needed. Tasty and full breakfasts. You can eat lunch and dinner at the villa and I don't agree that they are overpriced, as some guests mentioned in their opinions. Dishes were tasty and various, priced as in an average restaurant in Arugam Bay. Overall, I wish I could come back here one day, maybe in a larger group to have the villa for our own.

“I will be back to stay longer.”
Private place, you live in the villa with maximum 4 rooms for guests and 6 staff. I spent 3 lovely days there in which 2 days I was alone in the villa. 6am morning swim, chat and help fishermen, get lobsters and ask the staff to cook me a lobster omelet. It was wow. Next morning I got the king prawns and ask to cook in butter and garlic with sprinkle of white wine. OMG. You would never have the same treatment in average hotel.

“Romantic secluded 5 star beach house with great little pool for early morning swims plus deserted beach for long walks -”
This must be the beach house that every architect wishes that he had designed! Completed in 2012 eight years after the devastation caused by the tsunami, it stands defiantly on a beautiful secluded beach front property. Surrounded by over a hundred coconut palms to the sides and rear with the front garden edged by several frangipani trees, it is has been purposefully built for the sultry Sri Lankan climate. The two storey residence has front and back terraces on the upper floor which allow for the cooling sea breezes to sweep through it. The accommodation comprises of two very large en-suite bedrooms on the upper floor either side of the house, each with their own private veranda accessed through four double sets of folding French doors allowing the rooms to open right up to the elements if so desired. A further two villas are adjacent to the house, one on each side thus allowing a maximum of eight guests. There is a deliberate colonial feel to this residence; planters’ chairs on the upper front terrace are perfect for an aperitif before dinner while you watch the sun setting and the birds roosting - look out for the red & white Sea eagles. Dine then by candlelight on the upper terrace to the rear overlooking the illuminated grounds while listening to the crashing waves in a truly romantic setting. Malik is an up and coming talented young chef who will not fail to impress you with his culinary prowess. Sri Lanka is known as the Spice Island and his knowledge and use of the different spices with the local organic produce available is first class, you certainly won’t want to eat elsewhere. Hasif is a most welcoming host, very attentive without being obtrusive. He runs a very happy household and it has been wonderful to have been guests here. Thank you.
