The villa is perfect for those seeking peace and tranquility. After a 10-day tour around Sri Lanka, we came here to unwind and recharge. I spent a long time searching for a place that would meet all our expectations, and I’m so happy that I found this villa. The villa is well-designed, spacious, very clean, and well-maintained. Throughout our stay, the caretaker, Suba, took great care of us, and Dushante prepared delicious meals. We also used the laundry service once, which was very convenient. Thanks to these two gentlemen, we truly had an amazing experience. Each day, we planned what we wanted to eat, and our wonderful hosts took care of all the shopping and meal preparation. Dushante even took us to Rekawa Beach, where we had the unforgettable experience of watching turtles at night. The villa is located directly on a stunning, long, and clean beach. The ocean here is wild, and the waves are not suitable for small children. The surroundings are quiet, with only local fishermen nearby. One thing worth mentioning is that many of the villa's fantastic perks were not listed on Booking.com, which is a shame. I highly recommend adding all the small details to the description, as it would create an even better impression (e.g., on-demand meal preparation, laundry service, transportation to the nearest town, assistance with organizing trips, a first-aid kit, etc.). We had an incredible time here, and even though we rarely return to the same place twice, we definitely have to come back to this one!

I think it was our best stay in 4 weeks in Sri Lanka. The host is one of the most friendly persons you can ever meet. He helped us to arrange taxi, scooter and did his best that we could see the baby sea turtles. He even offered late check-out without asking anything. Room is so big and was so modern like you’re staying in a 5-star luxury hotel. Best beach in Tangalle is 2 minutes by walk from this place. They prepared breakfast at our terrace and it was so delicious. And wifi was also so good, this is rare to find in Sri Lanka. We’ll definitely come back here again.

It is in a very quiet area, 10 minutes walk to the beach. The rooms are spacious, very clean, very well ventilated (the air is very clean, not like other accommodations in Sri Lanka). The garden is very beautiful and well maintained. The pool is chic and very clean, the water has a perfect temperature. The owners are very friendly and always willing to help you. They can cook you a delicious, fresh dinner, cooked on the spot, or they can organize various excursions in the area (safari, temple visit, kayaking on the lagoon, etc.). The breakfast is rich and very tasty, with fruit from the owners' garden. The atmosphere in the area is very quiet, there are not many tourists, you can meet locals which gives the place a truly authentic atmosphere.

What an absolute pearl of a place. I only planned to stay the night but immediately extended four days. The staff is maybe the best I’ve ever encountered and you feel so taken care of. The rooms are beautifully designed and the perfect fit for us Europeans. I will definitely come back and although I would love to have this place for myself, I urge everyone to stay here. 11/10!!

    Lovely studio set just back from the beach in a quiet and beautiful area. It’s was so wonderful to be in such a quiet and serene location with the waves the only sound. Nish is a fantastic host and the food was both delicious and plentiful. He very kindly organised a Sri Lankan cookery class with him and his Mum, also got to eat it afterwards, yum. The beach is stunning and had a few plays in the waves although a little rough to swim. Also had a yoga class a few minutes away which was hard but felt great after.

    Lovely villa with spacious bedrooms and a nice living room and terrace facing the pool and the garden. Very convenient with kids. The beach is almost all yours and pretty but the waves are huge so young kids cannot swim by themselves. Location is remote which is good and bad (beautiful nature but a bit far away from places to visit - except Udawalawe Park and Mulkirigala temple which are easy to reach and both amazing to visit). Philip and Dushantha are very nice and were adorable with the kids.
