Niyagama House is a peaceful retreat located on the highest point of an active tea plantation. It features 7 exquisite rooms with poster beds, a luxurious bathroom and free Wi-Fi.

the peace and quiet I cannot thank Elke (the owner) enough for making my stay amazing .. she is the heart and soul of that place very caring and attentive and supportive in every way possible .. the place is a slice of heaven on earth in the middle of a very calming environment … open space with a magical view .. you are part of nature in a peaceful and beautiful way .. you wake up to the sounds of the birds and beautiful rays of sunlight … I had the most relaxing sleep of my life there .. the breakfast and the food there was soooooo tasty .. my morning yoga and meditation sessions are the perfect way to start the day … I stayed for 8 nights and was so recharged by the time I left xx I loved everything about the place … I had nicely decorated beautiful room with its own theme every room there comes with its own vibe... I was so in love with their bedtime ritual when someone comes to prepare your room for you to go to sleep it felt lovely and like a very cozy addition... I can’t put into words how happy I was there and for sure I’ll come back to visit and recommend it to anyone who wants to detox and disconnect that’s the place for you .. love you Ilka and thank you for everything you’ve done to make my time there super special and for all the lovely staff at the property .. this was the perfect getaway ❤️🌹

Along the Southern coast of Sri Lanka sits the luxurious Era Beach, offering stunning natural beaches and an outdoor pool. Free Wi-Fi and free parking can be enjoyed on-site.

This hotel is a little oasis tucked away among numerous hotels lined next to each other by the ocean. When I was there the ocean was extremely high making it impossible to jostle on the beach. The hotel room I had was outstandingly beautiful, all the furniture was well appointed. The food needs improvement and refinement. Most of the food was overly salted. I tried breakfast lunch and dinners. The service was friendly and the property was quite empty. The pools, the yards, were perfectly manicured and kept so beautiful. It is right outside the road yet you feel like you are in your own little heaven. There is a bar and a restaurant, all without AC and terribly humid and hot. The AC in the rooms work really good. I loved this place and hope to return

Roman Beach offers spacious air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi, high ceilings and views of the sea. Located on Hikkaduwa Beach, it presents an outdoor pool and a private beachfront.

The best thing about the property is all the staff! They can’t do enough for you. Thanks to Kolani, Varna, Suppon, Ashit, & Sugath and the others that I didn’t get their names. Suppon made a lovely meal for me on my last night, thank you again. Breakfast is a feast & plentiful, it’s Al la Carte which I like but I couldn’t have all 3 courses! The pool is really well kept and looks into the beach. The location is ideal if you don’t want be central as it’s an easy walk along the beach.

    Beautiful old colonial building. The interior design and nooks to just sit and relax in were stunning. Breakfast was really excellent. Location in Galle Fort was perfect for wandering around the town and the shops. The staff at the front desk were keen to go over and above to make our stay comfortable. Highly recommend.

    What a stunning hotel! They have really designed the hotel beautifully, with high quality and finishing. All the staff were lovely, especially the front desk reception and we also met the lovely owner. They looked after us and accommodated us very well. The room was just beautiful and comfortable, with a tasty Sri Lankan breakfast.

    What an incredible, luxurious, boutique hotel. The design is beautiful and very thoughtful and you feel like you’re in your own slice of peaceful paradise in the jungle. The owner and staff were so helpful, friendly, accomodating and attentive. The breakfast and dinner were so delicious and high quality. If you would like to visit Galle Fort or the beaches they arrange a private tuk tuk for you for a good price there and back. Would definitely reccomend!

    We really loved our one night stay here on the day before Xmas eve. The villa is stunning, such beautiful architectural design inside and the pool. We were also really moved by the reason the property was built - what a lovely idea. We ate dinner and breakfast here. We loved the Sri Lankan breakfast where we met others guests- the food was delicious.

    A lovely boutique hotel which is well designed and has a special feel. The staff were attentive and super helpful, looking after our bags as we had an evening flight. The breakfast was absolutely delicious (make sure to get the Sri Lankan breakfast). Great location, right in the centre of the old fort.

    The little hotel was just gorgeous, super quiet, clean and green and the interior design was very special. The rooms were pretty so pretty, we right away extended for another night. Above all, the staff was so lovely and helpful, it was a real pleasure to stay there! There are various options for breakfast, we got each a large plate of fresh and delicious fruit and then went for the Sri Lankan option. I can only recommend!
