Magical Sundara by Mosvold, a Sri Lanka winner, for sure

A beautiful location on the coast, accessible and surrounded by pretty and vibrant townlife with lots of places to visit. The staff were impeccable, the food delicious and the 5-day holiday was just what we wanted. Thank you, Nalin and team. Until next time!

If you’re hesitating; don’t, just book it. We paid considerably more for far lesser experiences elsewhere in Sri Lanka.

Had an excellent stay at Sundara, albeit for just one night. We arrived around 6pm for our final stop before heading home, hoping for somewhere comfortable and good value to enjoy our last day before a late flight the following evening. Despite being fully booked the next day, the staff could not have been more accommodating. They offered us a late check-out and even the use of staff facilities to freshen up later in the day, which meant we could fully relax and enjoy our time. It was a really nice touch, and we continued to feel genuinely welcome even after checking out. The food was exceptional. On a trip defined by outstanding meals, Sundara still managed to stand out. The barramundi, in particular, was superb, easily one of the best fish dishes I’ve had, and good enough to order twice! The rooms were spacious and spotless, the staff charming throughout, and the beach pristine and blissfully quiet.

A very beautiful beach front villa

We loved the beautiful villa, the large comfortable rooms, the privacy of the secluded location with the garden, the pool and the beach front to relax and enjoy. The food was amazing, the staff was extremely friendly and interacting in a very friendly and respective manner. We would immediately go there again and stay for a couple of nights. The beach is also beautiful and largely undeveloped.

Lovely small boutique hotel in stunning secluded beach location

Small boutique hotel in a stunning secluded beachfront location, quality accommodation with high levels of customer service and privacy respected. The beach is amazing, swimming outside the hotel is possible if waves are small, otherwise it’s just a short walk to a calmer spot. We stayed in the villa with private pool which is lovely. The breakfast and dinner options are great and include Asian and international choices. It’s a perfect place for a relaxing few days, away from it all. A memorable end to our Sri Lanka trip!

Perfect place to relax

Very attentive and friendly staff, we felt spoiled. The view was amazing. We stayed with a toddler and found the property to be a great choice. The only noise you hear is the ocean. They helped us organise any trip we were interested in and we were very happy with every recommendation. Highly recommend.

Hidden gem on southern coast of Sri Lanka

This boutique hotel is a true treasure on the southern coast of Sri Lanka. Nestled right by the ocean, the property offers an intimate and serene atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home. With only a handful of rooms, the experience feels wonderfully personal and private - perfect for anyone seeking peace and quiet away from the usual crowds. The cuisine deserves special praise. Every meal was a highlight of the stay - freshly prepared with local ingredients, beautifully presented, and infused with authentic Sri Lankan flavors. From the seafood straight from the ocean to the vibrant curries and tropical fruits, dining here is a culinary journey that pairs perfectly with the coastal setting.

Peaceful haven. Pretty much had the place to ourselves which was great, not sure it’d be the same experience if it were busy. The staff were so lovely - from our waiters to the security guard! The a la carte menu was reasonably priced and portion sizes were generous. Our room was also huge!

Pure heaven!

A fantastic hotel. What made it special was the attention to detail paid by the impeccable service of Ajita and his team. Good food at exceptionally reasonable prices. A special shout to Shan who went over and above to help us. Beach is perfect. Would recommend this hotel to anyone!

Superb location with a beautiful beach. The hotel put on live music in the evenings. The food was delicious although not very varied. The chef came out to greet us which was a nice touch. Friendly staff and considered interior design.
