Situated in Bentota, a few steps from Kosgoda Beach, Nil Menik Villa features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

A lovely accommodation with a good swimming pool, sun loungers and umbrellas. Meals on the upstairs balcony with plentiful food. Staff very attentive and helpful. The location was quiet and only 50m from the beach so we did lovely walks along the shore. Waves strong so best to swim 400m along the beach in front of the hotel there which has life guards.

Featuring garden views, Baker's cottage features accommodation with an open-air bath, a garden and a bar, around 100 metres from Kosgoda Beach.

The best accommodation I found during my trip to Sri Lanka. Very comfortable, beautiful environment, beautiful beach, very nice owners, explained the area to us very well. The breakfast is excellent, it is free and very rich and delicious. Every day a new recipe. If you come here, don't forget to have dinner here. It is very delicious and affordable.

Situated within 300 metres of Urawatta Beach and 1.2 km of Ambalangoda Beach, Villa Sea Queen features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Ambalangoda.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Villa Sea Queen, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! The villa's stunning ocean views, beautifully landscaped gardens, and tranquil atmosphere made it the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, with modern amenities that catered to our every need. The staff were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing short of exceptional. The villa's prime location allowed us to easily explore the surrounding area, and the beach was just a short walk away. We enjoyed watching the sunset over the ocean, and the villa's private pool was the perfect spot to relax and unwind. Overall, I highly recommend Villa Sea Queen to anyone looking for a relaxing and rejuvenating getaway. The combination of stunning views, excellent service, and comfortable accommodations makes it an ideal choice for couples, families, or solo travelers alike. We'll definitely be back! Feel free to customize it based on your own experience and preferences!

Comprising a private beach area and a garden, Oruwa Turtle Beach Villa is a recently renovated accommodation in Kosgoda located close to Kosgoda Beach.

Oruwa Turtle Beach Me and my 2 kids spent the most wonderful 6 days in this amazing place! I can’t find words to express how happy and tranquil our stay was. The room is very cozy and spacious (even for 3) and has everything necessary for a comfortable holiday (fridge, kettle, hair dryer, etc), wifi was working well (although we also had a tourist SIM from Dialog). Thilina and his team are just amazingly wonderful! When my son got burnt from the sun, they brought freshly cut aloe leaves. The room was cleaned every 2 days, towels changed when necessary. They organized an amazing birthday party for my daughter, with wonderfully decorated room, cake, candles, flowers, fireworks and releasing baby turtles into the ocean. It will be a long-lasting memory for my daughter and for all of us! The location of the hotel is perfect for introverts and those tired of the crazy whirls of big cities. Beautiful beach line with fine sand and palm trees is a real “Bounty Beach”, definitely one of my favorites in Sri-Lanka (and we saw many beaches from Bentota to Tangalla). You can actually swim here, not just jump in the waves. A trip to a boat safari in Bentota and a trip to Galle are highly recommended. A supermarket is located 1 km away from the hotel, we walked there. There are also Turtle Hatcheries in that area, one is located right next to Oruwa Villa- Galbokka Sea Turtle Conservation project. If lucky, you can see turtles coming from the ocean to the sea shore at night to lay eggs in sand at night. Other than that there isn’t much around except the beauty of the nature. I cried when we were leaving this place. It felt like home, really. Thank you, guys! We will miss you(

Situated in Ambalangoda, Hanka Villa -Ambalangoda offers beachfront accommodation a few steps from Ambalangoda Beach and features various facilities, such as free bikes and a garden.

The room was very spacious and there was also a kitchen (that we didn't use). The view from the terrace was amazing. With the ocean basically in front of the door, it can get quite loud at night though. The staff (Dinesh) was lovely, very helpful and reliable. The town and mask museum are close by. We had a lovely stay.

    Fabulous beach hotel. The staff were attentive and always happy to cater to our needs. The room was clean, comfortable and perfect view. The food was delicious and flavourful. The grounds are neatly kept. During our stay, there were many other couples enjoying their stay, in a comfortable quiet and relaxing atmosphere. No kids to be seen which made it even more wonderful to unwind. We will be back.

    The most beautiful location, quiet, almost private beach, amazing design, comfortable rooms, nice food and of course, exceptional service, tailored and we really felt cared for. We traveled with our 2 year old that enjoyed the pool and the beach. I also was able to enjoy an amazing full body massage in the beach in the morning.

    The homestay is located in a calm area with the beach in walking distance. It is a perfect spot to relax and the host family made me feel like home immediately! They are incredibly kind and carry a really warm energy with them. Moreover the food was super delicious and the room spacious and clean. All in all I can only recommend a stay in sweet pea😊

    The hosts were very accommodating and got anything that we requested. The view of the lake was beautiful and the environment was very peaceful. These days in Sri Lanka it is hard to find a vacation spot that is not crowded but this place was perfectly quiet. Also the room was amazing! The pool was beautifully kept and maintained.

    We visited at the end of our 2 week stay in Sri Lanka and it was easily the nicest hotel we've been to. The place felt like a little oasis with amazing views over the river, we spent a couple hours in the infinity pool watching eagles hunt there. Jeewana was a great host. He gave us a lot of tips of what to see in the area and even drove us to a sea turtle sanctuary. Fantastic stay, would definitely come back!

    The best hotel I’ve ever been privileged enough to stay at. Gorgeous building, and it only gets more breathtaking when you walk in. High quality rooms, and high quality service. The Madu river scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to stay in such a quiet and peaceful environment. It is a really great location and a very loyal staff with adorable hospitality. Such a great place to enjoy your holiday.. Thank you! Will recommend to my all colleagues!
