Set just 80 metres from Dickwella Beach, Nimal's House features accommodation in Dickwella with access to a garden, a shared lounge, as well as a 24-hour front desk.

We loved it here. Nimal and Mrs Nimal were so helpful and friendly offering advice to us for our trip both in Dikwalla and for the other places we are visiting. They even spent time playing board games with our children which is a challenge at the best of times. The room was great for our family, 2 big adjoining bedrooms, a massive kitchen and bathroom. We also had a lovely balcony where we ate the delicious breakfast Mrs Nimal made. Definitely coming back here if we come back to Sri Lanka!

Super clean and rooms are new and very well kept. The owners are very kind. The only thing is it’s a bit away from the center/beach but still very okay since it was a 10min walk

Parasol dore is a recently renovated guest house in Dickwella, where guests can makes the most of its infinity pool, private beach area and water sports facilities.

Parasol Dole is a little slice of heaven. We had the ultimate relaxation time where we were able to switch off from everything. The accommodation is beautiful. We loved the room, which had bi-folding doors directly out to the pool area and beach. The pool was clean and refreshing. We spent the majority of our time on the beach, which felt private as we were usually the only ones on it. There are body boards to use at your leisure and we had so much fun body boarding in the waves for hours on end. There is an area further up the beach that frequently has turtles, so we had the opportunity to snorkel and saw several turtles close to shore. The staff were so generous and hospitable. They kindly organised us tuk tuks into town whenever we needed, which always arrived within 10 minutes of booking. Roshan particularly went out of his way to recommend things to do in the area and offered to drive us round the town for some sightseeing. We couldn’t fault the service. We really enjoyed the breakfast. The pancakes, omelettes and fruit platter were exceptionally good! Highly recommend this serene and stunning boutique hotel and we will definitely return on our next visit to Sri Linka!

    That was the best home stay experience in Sri Lanka. It is located a few minutes away from the beach. Place is exceptionally cosy, clean and comfortable. Room was just beautiful with nice bed, private bathroom with hot shower and all facilities you can imagine. We used the kitchen for cooking our food which was great after long weeks of traveling. Big thank you for the host family - you made our stay here simply wonderful. We recommend this place if you plan to stay in Dikwella.

    The owner is really helpful and helped guide us to some great beaches where the boys loved swimming with turtles. The location is great. Quiet beach with few locals and clean. We loved sitting out seeing the monkeys, fireflies, tortoises, lizards, and toads. Stars were incredible, too. The house is simple and reasonably maintained, with a great price
