Set within 100 metres of Talalla Beach and 1.3 km of Gandara Beach in Talalla, Paradise Beach House provides accommodation with seating area.

I very much enjoyed my time staying here. The family were so accommodating and just lovely. I felt as much at home as one can in a new place. It’s so close to the beach and talalla retreat if you want to take some yoga classes. Would definitely recommend staying here and if I’m ever in talalla again I would stay here!

You will be staying in newly opened accommodation in the heart of Talalla, just a 5-minute walk from the wide sandy beach and the beautiful bay. Bunty and his family will welcome you with an open heart and do whatever they can for you. Don't forget to ask for a home cooked dinner from Bunty's wife, it tastes heavenly (you might not want anything else afterwards)...if in season, ask for butterfish...sooo yammy. The rooms are in a quiet neighbourhood, your breakfast is served outside on the veranda with fresh fruit, tea, coffee, toast, jam, eggs (as you like them). If you're looking for a comfortable mattress, a large bed with mosquito net, a room with AC and fan and your own spacious bathroom and you like being at home with friends, this is the place for you!

    Such a wonderful place, at the seaside, cozy rooms with fan, different nice seating places for reading a book. The beach is great to have a morning walk and a swim later. Not crowded, mix tourists and locals, fishing boats… we extended our stay with 2 days. And then we have Milnini and her staff, what a lady and excellent cook, and taking care of everything you need.

    It’s located in a village very close to the beach. The house is kept very clean and tidy. The host family are charming and you can enjoy a home cooked meal which was one of the highlights of our entire trip. It’s a more personal experience than many of the guest houses we have stayed in, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    The hospitality of the family who runs this homestay is incredible. We feel so much home and welcomed there, so that we come to this place year after year. We also enjoyed very much the delicious cooking of our host Anu. She makes a superb rice and curry and for breakfast you have a lot of choices. We recommend the srilankan breakfast. The beach is super near and so you can enjoy a very relaxed holiday there.

    What a little paradise! The lovely host created a beautiful place to relax and feel at home. Spacious, clean and very well equipped rooms, especially considering the low prices. Also the garden is beautiful and very well taken care of. We stayed there for a week, reading at the pool and enjoying the beach, which is a 1 min walk away. Great breakfast and the restaurant offering italian dishes was a welcome change to all the rice and curry.

    This is a small homestay which is excellent value for money. Leisurely 10 minute walk to the beautiful unspoilt Talalla beach. Breakfast was good, we did have dinner (rice, curry and several vegetable dishes) here one night and it was excellent and exceptional value for money. Our host was friendly and helpful, he organised a taxi to Ella for us at a fair price with a very safe driver.

    This is paradise! The beautiful, quiet beach and the lovely host Darshani made my stay at Talalla Beach one of the highlights of my trip through Sri Lanka. Thank you Darshani for sharing so many stories and teaching me so much about Sri Lankan culture!
