“Superb - Aayva Cove is a very special place and on a rare stretch of beach where it's safe to swim !”

Absolutely superb. Tucked away in beautiful landscaped grounds on a beautiful cove - Aayva Cove Villas is a stunning property. We had 2 villas overlooking the pool and beach - very spacious and we loved the private garden, terrace and outdoor shower. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive - being such a small property it almost felt like staying in a friends private villa! We chose the half board option - great food and special touches such as preparing one of the fish from the overnight catch for lunch one day, delicious seafood platter for lunch the next day .. and serving us dinner on the beach on our last night !!- and even setting up an early morning hoppers station for us for breakfast before we left for the airport! (special thanks to our water Sathsara and the chefs Bandara and Mohan. ) We also really appreciated having lifeguards Sahan and Vimukthi on the beach making sure it was safe for us to swim (and anticipating our every need with towels, sunbeds etc beach and poolside). The beachfront massage was also superb! We were very sad to leave - and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend ! - in fact we would love to return sometime,

“Beautiful and peaceful.”

Lovely lovely beach and pool, very helpful and responsive staff.

“Heaven, wonderful staff”

We had the most incredible stay at Aavaya Cove with our 1 year old. It’s right beside a beautiful paradise stretch of beach that you can safely swim in. The rooms are immaculate, cleaned twice a day, housekeeping do lovely decorations on your bed. What makes it so special are the staff, who are lovely and genuinely care - everyone was wonderful with our baby - Nirodha warmly hosted us, nothing was too much trouble. Sahan, the amazing lifeguard played with our baby and taught him things about fishing and the water. Hasitha was super kind and attentive to us at all times and Sathsara and Janni were fab and provided excellent service too. Thusitha’s cooking was fabulous, Puja too and was so sweet with our baby - a lovely team of people, who felt like friends by the end. Asela the masseuse is also fantastic. It was genuinely one of the most special holidays of our life, thanks to the wonderful staff, and we’ll be returning next year!

“Pleasant location, friendly staff, OBSCENELY OVERPRICED”

Beach location is beautiful. Pool is large and appealing.

“I only wish I had stayed longer!”

The location is perfect if you want quiet relaxation but also a base to explore from. This really is a beautiful hotel with a great vibe, the service is outstanding and the food incredible. Nothing was too much trouble for Jayani and the team. Villas are stylish and comfortably designed with a great indoor/outdoor feel. Yoga and massages can be arranged and would strongly recommend. Absolute heaven on earth.

Beach, pool and villas combined with great staff gave us the best experience

“The staff there were fantastic and made the day of our wedding anniversary perfect for us. The staff looked after us so”

Absolutely perfect, right on beach and tucked away. Our villa was very clean and the food exceptional.

“A little piece of paradise”

Everything

“Beautiful location and facilities.”

The setting is right on a beautiful beach. The pool, grounds, and especially my room were excellent. It was very quiet . Beautiful room with comfy bed, lovely bathroom and a small garden where I could sit out. Tea/coffee facilities and a fridge. It had everything I needed. The breakfasts were excellent and the evening meals were of the same excellent standard.

“A nice place on the beach.”

Spacious villas, good pool, nice breakfasts.

It was our little quiet paradise with soft sand and gentle waves. No crowds, only fishermen and squirrels and monkeys passing by every morning.

“Absolute Bliss”

The villas are designed in a very unique and private way. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, offering a peaceful retreat. The location is secluded, away from the hustle and bustle, providing a sense of tranquility. Each villa comes with its own private garden, adding to the exclusivity. The nearby beach is stunning and feels almost private, making it an ideal spot to relax and unwind. During my stay, I enjoyed an exceptional massage from a skilled male masseuse, which was the perfect way to enhance the overall experience. This place is truly a haven for relaxation and rejuvenation.

“Nice beach, but would not stay again.”

It has a pretty beach, the food was okay (club sandwich was one of the best meals on the menu) and the rooms were spacious.

Beautiful location, super calm environment. If you want to relax and you want a holiday close to the beach & nature, this is your hotel. I would recommend it for couples who don't want to do any activities at all. There is not much to do except to sit and relax and the pool/sea.

“Relaxed luxury in a quiet spot convenient for our last stop before flying home”

Brilliant breakfast, gobsmacking room (we stayed in the suite above the restaurant, with sea views), and wonderful beach with sea that you can swim in safely — quite unusual for Sri Lanka

“Do not book”

Poorly maintained

“it was the most expensive resort in our itinerary and not worth the money”

modern villa design and the beach; we had 3 good dinners during our 4 nights stay, and 1 good lunch which the chef offered to make up for a mediocre breakfast we could not eat
