“We had an incredible time. The rooms, facilities and overall experience exceeded expectations.”
Sandeep and his team took excellent care of us during our stay, making sure we had everything we needed, from taking us down Dickwella beach to swim with the sea turtles, to arranging transport for us to the airport when it was time to leave. The location was perfect, a short walk to the beach with a few monkey sightings along the way. We extended our stay as we didn't want to leave! We can't wait to visit again.

“We’ll be back”
Great property. A 4 bedroom villa which sometimes rented out as a whole, or to individuals. Pool is massive, breakfast is amazing, the best placed we stayed in Sri Lanka. Unfortunately it was only a one night stay for us. Good location with flat walk to the beach. We’ll be back.

“Can’t wait to go back”
Incredible place to stay, so beautiful. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We loved the egg hoppers at breakfast, plenty of choice and can have dinner and lunch there too if you wish. Very well located for restaurants and the beach. Would recommend the turtle trip locally with Saronga, his friend runs a turtle egg conservation project locally and we got to snorkel with turtles who live in the bay - which is great to see and support. Sad to leave and keen to come back!

“Our best stay in Sri Lanka!”
Ginger Palm Villa is amazing - on top of being in a great location and a beautiful property, the staff are what really made our trip so special! The rooms are lovely - very clean and provide everything you need (insect repellent / after sun). Breakfast / the food is delicious! All made fresh! Would recommend the French Toast! We would recommend a turtle / snorkelling trip with the staff. They took us to a beach and located the turtles for us to see - we had previously tried at Mirissa but didn’t have much luck and going with the Ginger Palm staff was great! If you want to get involved in the cricket that the staff play daily - it is very fun to be involved with. They’re the nicest and happiest people! Of course you don’t have to but we did and it was a highlight! Thanks Sandeep & all The Ginger Palm staff! Jack & Georgie

We had an amazing stay at Ginger Palm Villa, I can't recommend it enough. It was a quick four minute walk to the beach but secluded and quietly tucked away which was a nice change of pace. The staff and team were so friendly and helpful, we couldn't have asked for anything else. The rooms are very cute and the pool was very nice. Breakfast was also delicious. Would love to come back.

Amazing. The place was absolute luxury. Impeccable standard. But the guys that worked there were even more incredible. Sandeep and the team looked after us so well. Their hospitality knew no bounds. Even staying after their shits at night to make sure we got back safely from our adventures. They really cared. They took us to the only ethical turtle sanctuary on the south coast They organised any trips that we wanted to do, checking availability, weather forecast and if it was a worthy day to do the particular activity (for example if elephants had been spotted at the safari then it was a good day to go) Sandeep even taught me surfing in his time off. Even though Sri Lanka is an exceptionally friendly place this level of service and friendship was above and beyond any expectation. Sincere thanks to everyone at the Ginger Palm 🙏
