“Most beautiful place we have stayed at so far. We thoroughly loved our stay, we feel recharged and would love to return”

It was clean, comfortable on a beautiful stretch of beach. We were looked after really well by the friendly staff, plentiful meals at night and immaculately kept grounds and pool. The chef went out of his way to cater for my dietary requirements.

“Great and excellent”

Both are good

“The perfect place for a peaceful holiday!”

This was our second stay at Ananya. We love the location and the peace and quiet. The top floor rooms have the most incredible views and the infinity pool is huge and very clean. The hotel is relatively small so it never felt busy or crowded which was a big plus. Rooms are well maintained and spotless. Breakfast especially the Sri Lankan one is a must and there are some nice things to do nearby including the evening lagoon boat ride with Jacki. It is definitely not a place for loud people/partying but if you're looking for proper peace and quiet this spot is for you!

“Directly in the longest, spotless beach I have ever seen”

This is the remote beach dream I was hoping for. Indeed directly in the beach. We walked 2 hours (and there was as still no end of beach to see) and met the first other couple after 1.5hours (beside some fishermen). I didn’t know this would still exists after I have seen so many crowded places in SriLanka. Service was extremely nice and helpful. Really don’t understand some of the other reviews of mixed service experience. We had service at the beach, could stay longer using their facilities post check-out, had super honest recommendations on the food eg what fish is really fresh one, they even brought us a cooler for a wine which we have bought outside at a wine store, for breakfast we enjoyed the oat porridge bowl (try it at least once it’s great) You should not come to this place if you like to have a big party till past midnight, if you are an all-inclusive tourist having music and alcohol all day around … but that makes this a perfect hide-away that these tourist are NOT here. Yes it is not 5 star (but it also doesn’t cost five star) yet all is very very clean. From our 2h walks on the beach we believe it is the only hotel with a true direct beach view from hotel, pool , sunbeds.

“Customer awareness must be improved”

Beautiful location. Stunning views and beach.

A surprising highlight given the value of the place. Lovely big room, balcony overlooking the pool and beach, perfect location, super quiet, high quality food (and prawn curry was ordered more than once, and the Sri Lankan breakfast was great). Being able to have a walk on the beach, swim in the sea, and then jump into the basically private pool (there are 6 rooms, so the likelihood of anyone else being in the pool at the same time is slim) was a delight. Very friendly and helpful staff - fresh (not instant) coffee brought to the room no problem, and they even managed to procure some flip flops from a local shop one morning. Recommend taking up the spa offer, too - the one the hotel recommends (4 minute tuk tuk down the road) is very good.

“So good I postponed my flight home !”

Away from the world, beachfront hideaway, spotlessly clean and relaxed service

“Excellent hotel”

“Very relaxing break in lovely surroundings.”

The property was very clean and on a long quiet sandy beach. We had a lovely room over the sea with a good sized balcony. Breakfast was very good and swimming pool superb. Chandermal took care of us very well. All of the staff were extremely polite.

10 out of 10 for everything: rooms, food, views, stuff

“A place completely off the beaten path, with direct access to a beautiful and EMPTY beach. Stunning location, with a lar”

Beautiful location, just a few steps from the hotel pool to the beach. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Spacious and clean rooms. This small, intimate hotel with only a dozen or so rooms gives a real sense of freedom, comfort, and peace.

“We had a wonderful stay. The food was excellent. However, the staff seemed rather lazy, spending a lot of time on their”

Small, beautiful beach resort at the nearly private 2,5km beach strip 15km east of tangalle. Staff is lovely, attentive and very welcoming. Pool is clean and directly at the beachfront. private beach has enough chairs for all guest. Bathing/swimming in the sea is possible, though between 11am and 3pm it may be a little bit rough. Balconys of Seaview rooms are quite big and especially from the 3rd floor you have a great view of the sunset (but also from the beach itself). In total, can highly recommend and good value for money.

“A slice of heaven on the beach.”

This place is a little slice of heaven. It is located on the beach in a small fishing village. It has a great restaurant, the rooms are spacious and extremely comfortable and the staff are fantastic.

“Perfect to unwind & enjoy”

Beautiful hotel right at the beach - the best room we had during our travels thanks to the spacious and elevated design. We had a stunning view right into the palm trees and could see monkeys playing. The pool was lovely and the chill out area at the beach hit the spot. Perfect location to unwind :)

Amazing view from my room, very friendly staff working there , and very less people on territory . You feel privacy and exclusive.

“Great week in a Great place on a Great Island.”

Great accommodation very clean and spacious room in great location very quiet

“great quiet location on a very quiet beach away from all the noise and busy town life”

great staff, lovely quiet beach secluded from the town. nice big pool

“Beautiful hotel but not much round it”

Very clean and rooms were beautiful.

“Stunning views and the kindest staff”

The most beautiful setting for a hotel on a quiet beach. The only sounds of crashing waves. You can walk or miles. Beautiful balcony’s and views. We stayed for 5 nights at the end of a 2 weeks visit to SL. Janith and his team are kindest staff you’ll ever meet. Nothing is too much trouble, always attentive and food & choices are delicious and freshly cooked. We also enjoyed a bonfire and supper on the beach for Christmas Eve. We will definitely return and don’t hesitate to recommend.
