“Beautiful stay with great vibes, amazing breakfast, fantastic amenities, and unforgettable relaxation.”

I had such a wonderful stay here! The place itself is beautiful and has such a great vibe. Every morning we enjoyed a delicious breakfast spread, which quickly became one of my favorite parts of the day. The pool and outdoor gym were fantastic for relaxing and staying active, and the in-house massage was a real treat. This has definitely become one of my top favorite stays in Sri Lanka so far.

“An Unforgettable Stay at Roots Retreat– A True Paradise!”

I am absolutely thrilled to share my exceptional experience at Roots Retreat. Every aspect of our stay was perfect, leaving us with unforgettable memories and a strong desire to return. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the serene and beautiful environment. The design of the hotel is a masterful blend of aesthetic appeal and cozy comfort, creating a uniquely charming atmosphere. The heart and soul of this place, however, are its inhabitants. The wonderful hotel residents—three graceful cats, one playful dog, and three majestic peacocks—added a magical and delightful touch to our visit. Our heartfelt thanks especially to Monica at the hotel, whose genuine love and care for these animals is evident and truly heartwarming to see. It’s clear they are not just pets, but cherished members of the hotel family. Our room was exceptionally comfortable and designed with great taste. Every detail was considered to ensure a restful stay. Most impressively, despite the many animals, our room and the entire hotel were impeccably clean and completely odourless—a true testament to the staff's dedication and meticulous attention to detail. Our admiration extends to the entire hotel staff, who were incredibly friendly and attentive. The personalized service was outstanding; the owner generously recommended numerous itineraries and activities for us, which greatly enriched our trip. The attention to detail was impeccable. Despite the animal friends, the entire hotel was spotlessly clean and completely odorless. Our room was beautifully designed and supremely comfortable, providing a perfect haven for relaxation. Furthermore, the food was utterly delicious, with every meal being a highlight. We were thoroughly satisfied with everything and cannot stop singing its praises. This is more than just a hotel; it's a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a unique, caring, and luxurious getaway.

“Unique place-lovely family. Highly recommended”

Extraordinary oasis of calm. Amazing place of tranquility

Beautiful property surrounded by wild nature and a sublime garden. Landlords are a super friendly couple, all the staff is incredible helpful and nice. Breakfast and dinner were super fresh and absolutely delicious! The room was spacious and clean. The atmosphere is very zen. It's just 5 min by tuktuk from the Unawatuna village and beaches and 20 min max from Galle ( which btw is absolutely worth visiting). We will come back for sure! Thank you Simon and Kate for the wonderful stay.

Beautiful location in Unawatuna, secluded but within easy reach of the town and beach. The garden is wonderful with a beautiful natural pool to relax. The house itself is stunning and the design features so unique. The whole atmosphere is so tranquil.

“Unforgettable! ❤️ 🪷🙏🏻”

Roots Retreat was for me the perfect place to end my Sri Lankan trip. Here, I found myself in a nice calm Garden House in the forest of Unawatuna waking up every morning with bird and grasshopper sound. The location is perfectly made with so much love and with a focus on details I really appreciated. I felt not just as another customer but as somebody who is very welcome! Kasha, Simon, Monica and the whole team made me feel like „part of the family“. The Training sessions with Simon have been very professional and informative. The breakfast and dinners served have been ones of the best I enjoyed during my trip. Everything is cooked freshly, healthy and with good ingredients. Also the Ayurveda Massage wraped everything up as another perl. Thanks for everything! .
