“A wonderful and surprising oasis of tranquility run by a most welcoming and hospitable family.”

A wonderful welcome from the whole team and a splendid setting between the ocean and the lagoon. This was an very surprising oasis of calm and tranquility. If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful stay, this is the place. Very comfortable rooms , excellent food and exemplary hospitality from all the family led team. No bright lights, no background music, this is the destination for a really relaxing stay. We were surprised by the effectiveness of an apparently simple establishment which had everything needed for very pleasant and relaxing stay. The large clean swimming pool was a delightful bonus.

“Best ever”

Our stay at this family hotel was truly special. Thanks to the wonderful team, we felt completely at home from the very first day. This is the perfect place to recharge and recover after busy working days. You can simply relax, switch off, and not worry about anything — everything is thoughtfully organized for you by the friendly and caring hotel team. The food was absolutely delicious and prepared personally for us at very reasonable prices. We especially loved that you can order according to your own taste — whether you prefer authentic flavorful curry or European dishes. The rooms were very clean, and housekeeping was done regularly, which made our stay even more comfortable. We stayed for 6 days and honestly wished we could stay longer. We would love to come back again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort, warmth, great food, and genuine hospitality.

“Perfect breaking stay🥰”

The hosts were friendly and made sure that when i was going to home that i was getinto the right path to the main road. As i was lost my way while i was comming to the property. Good breakfast and dinner. It is very peace ful location and stunning sea view and coconut trees. It was treat to my eyes. You can do bird watching as the property back yard river goes..i saw black hooded orioel, group of peafowl, king fisher, bea eatet, kind of sea eagle etc.. You can watch the sea view sunset from the property.

“Peaceful river setting run by nice family”

Lovely peaceful place by the beach and river. Brilliant for bird watching! Such a sweet family who were very kind and helped me arrange transport. Food was good. The lodges were spacious and clean with amazing river views from the balcony. I sat watching all the wildlife and had a great time. Close to a bird wetland habitat. Large sized pool great for exercise. Would stay again.

When you look quiet place for relax, you can not choose better. Our host Eddie and his team is so kind and helpful ! We enjoyed breakfast and dinner, it was really delicious. Location is perfect, you can watch so many animals. I can highly reccommend !

“It's the perfect introduction to Sri Lanka, this family and friends team are amazing.”

The moment we arrived we knew we would be very well looked after. The setting is idyllic, with the Indian ocean less than a minute's walk and a beautiful bird sanctuary lagoon right behind the accommodation. The team at this Hotel were wonderful hardworking hosts who all made our stay very special indeed.

“Wildlife haven”

An excellent, relaxing place to start our holiday. A wildlife paradise between the ocean and the lagoon, the accomodation was immaculate, Eddie and his family are so friendly and welcoming, nothing is too much trouble, they even made us sandwiches to keep for lunchtime.The food was superb. I wish we had stayed longer!

“Two night relaxed stay”

The owner Eddie and his wife were lovely and very helpful. The chalet was very spacious and clean. The breakfasts were excellent.

“Beautiful paradise off the beat location with the friendliest family you will meet”

This place was absolute paradise. We used it as a means to decompress after a very busy 3 weeks travelling the country. The family, headed up by Eddie, were the nicest and friendliest people we had met during our visit. They could not do enough for you and they were happy and genuinely interested to hear about you and your adventures. The food was delicious and the scenery was just absolute picture postcard level. It defied belief it was that beautiful. Eddie and Manel's vision for Twin Waters and the vibe they sought for people to just slow down was wonderful. This is NOT the place for people looking for beach bars and restaurants. The beach was wild but lovely and the overlooking river with birdlife was breathtaking. We saw mongoose and so much bird life. An absolute slice of heaven!

“Best holiday ever, we have already booked another stay.”

If you are lucky enough to find a vacancy at this resort grab it quickly. Absolutely faultless stay in this amazing place. The setting between lagoon and sea is incredible, the people who own and manage it are kind and interesting, they will do anything to help your stay be memorable. The rooms are great and spotless with balconies looking out over the lagoon. Its quiet but Tultuls are available to local shops and restaurants but we ate there every evening because the food is very special. Easy to get to by taxi from the airport. The infinity swimming pool overlooking the lagoon is large and kept clean. We enjoyed meeting the locals and helping the fisherman land their catch. We have already booked another stay, we are going back.

“An unforgettable stay — the best accommodation we experienced in Sri Lanka, and one we would happily return to.”

Everything about this place was exceptional. The location is stunning and peaceful, surrounded by nature, and the property itself is beautifully designed and very well maintained. The rooms were spacious, clean, and extremely comfortable. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our stay. The food was delicious, fresh, and varied. Overall, the atmosphere was relaxing and luxurious — easily the best accommodation we stayed at in Sri Lanka.

“Very relaxing & peaceful. Eddie, his wife & team looked after us really well. Loved the chats with Eddie at meal”

Great location with balcony view of lagoon and all the wildlife. Chalets were very comfortable, spacious and clean. Swimming pool was lovely and a good size. To top it off the beach was at the end of the garden. Perfect!

“Brilliant hosts and a great spot to unwind with nature all around.”

We wanted somewhere to just relax at the beginning of our month-long adventure in Sri Lanka after a few very stressful weeks. We chose Twin Waters as a place in the middle of nowhere to listen to the birds and ocean. It did not disappoint. Eddie and his family were a joy to stay with and offer a unique hospitality experience. Extremely comfortable and clean rooms. Great pool. What an incredible way to start our adventure in Sri Lanka. Amazing bird life too.

“Hidden gem”

My partner and I had the best time here. A truly beautiful location with the beach literally on your doorstep. Definitely a place to completely relax and get away from the noise of the cities. Eddie and his family made us feel instantly at home with their hospitality and delicious cooking. So glad we came here even if it was for only 1 night. Hopefully have the chance to come back in the future!

“A peaceful heaven run by the kindest souls”

A haven of peace and tranquility run by the most kind and beautiful souls you could wish to stay with. If you want calm and quiet, off the beaten track, delicious home cooked food served with smiles and good company, this is for you!

We spent our first night in Sri Lanka at Twin Waters Resort. It is beautifully tucked away, so peace and silence are guaranteed. We had the beach completely to ourselves, and the pool area is also a wonderful place to relax. The bungalows are very spacious and clean, and the view from the veranda over the river, combined with the sounds of nature, is simply magical. The absolute highlight of this place are the hosts, Edward and Manel. They are incredibly warm and welcoming and speak very good English, as they lived in England for many years. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious and clearly prepared with great care and love. A clear recommendation for anyone looking for tranquility and genuinely kind company.

“A Hidden Gem of Tranquility and Warm Hospitality!”

Twin Waters Resort is a true hidden gem, defined by the warm and genuine hospitality of the engaging couple who own it! They made us feel instantly welcome with a refreshment and throughout our stay they engaged with us in such a pleasant manner. The setting is spectacular, offering breathtaking views of the lagoon, which is a haven for wildlife. We enjoyed the sight of majestic eagles and many varieties of beautiful birds flying overhead. Our chalet was very comfortable: the room was spotlessly clean, and we especially loved relaxing in the comfortable chairs on the terrace. We also like to highlight the food. The Sri Lankan Rice and Curry dinner was very tasty!! Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace, nature, and heartfelt hospitality!

“Happy memories”

Twin Waters has a fabulous remote location on a plot of land that has the Indian Ocean on one side and an inland lagoon on the other. My bungalow (one of four) over looked the lagoon with a wonderful view and nature all around. There is nothing to disturb the quiet except the sound of waves on the shore. My hosts were very attentive and helpful and the bungalow was spotlessly clean.

“A beautiful, relaxing stay.”

The pool was beautiful with views of the sea and lagoon and I enjoyed a 7.30am swim before breakfast. We happened to be the only guests staying as it’s very much low season, and Eddie and his family made us feel like honoured house guests. Lovely food - we particularly enjoyed all the vegetable dishes, curries prepared with 2 different spice levels, milk rice with kithul treacle, scrambled eggs and all the fresh fruit. Lagoon view from our chalet terrace was a real plus. A great place to relax, swim and read.

“Ideal place to relax”

We really enjoyed our stay with Eddie and the team and felt very welcomed by them. Ideally located up the west coast on the way to Kalpitiya peninsula and Wilpattu. So a good location on way to those locations or on way to the airport. There is a train station ten minutes away and hotel arranged a TukTuk for us. Hotel has a large swimming pool, it was on the beach. A short TukTuk away is a bird sanctuary which was great. Accommodation small bungalows was clean, with large rooms looked out over a lagoon with balconies. Breakfasts were large - fruit, eggs then Sri Lankan. It was so big they offered to keep and reserve it for lunch at no extra charge We would happily return
