What an amazing location, away from the tourist hordes but close enough to the action. A gorgeous lagoon, and the loveliest hosts who include you in meals (the Persian food will blow your mind), drinks and plenty of greats chats. Or sit on the jetty, and look out into space. Shanti Shanti. Best place I have stayed in 2 x 1 month trips to Sri Lanka, years apart. It is a shame you always find the best places at the end of your trip. Hassan and Tata are the most consummate hosts. 20 Stars, out of 5!

My family and I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights and had an amazing experience. The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the barbecue, which was a highlight of our stay. The staff, including Hassan, Tata, Janaki, Hansi, and Dilan, were so helpful and friendly throughout our visit. The location is perfect—close to beautiful beaches, great restaurants, and the local market. Thank you all for giving us such a wonderful and memorable experience. It truly felt like paradise!”

We spent 5 incredible days at this amazing place. The hospitality of Hassan and Tata goes above and beyond — they truly pay attention to their guests' needs and make you feel right at home. The food is exceptional, and the smoothies and cocktails were absolutely unique and refreshing. The location is perfect: a peaceful, intimate spot nestled in the jungle by the lake, yet only an 8-minute walk to the beach (Sion Surf Break) and just 5 minutes by tuk-tuk to the center of Ahangama, with its fantastic restaurants and beach.

Nothing. This is an authentic stay with a few sites to stay in on site - not a copy and paste hotel room.

Tata (hostess), Dillan (local and tuk tuk driver) and team provide the most hospitable service! No ask is a problem and they just want you to have the best time. Small touches like farewell rituals and incredible breakfasts made the stay so special. Thank you very much! Easy 10 min walk to main front and easy scooter / tuktuk to main town of Ahangama in 5 mins.

I recently stayed at this lovely paradise by the lake, and it exceeded all my expectations! The place was incredibly calm, offering a peaceful escape from the busy world. The cozy setup made me feel right at home the moment I walked in. Every corner of the guesthouse was thoughtfully decorated, giving off a warm, welcoming vibe. The host’s attention to detail was impressive, and they made sure everything I needed was readily available. Waking up to the view of the lake each morning was the highlight of my stay. It’s truly the perfect place for anyone looking to relax and recharge. I can't recommend this place enough!

"A lovely and spotless place to stay, with fantastic, professional hosts! The view of the lush green lake was simply breathtaking, and waking up to the sounds of birds was magical. The food was absolutely delicious—highly recommend for a peaceful getaway!"

Our stay at the charming lakeside was unforgettable. The spacious, well-equipped bungalows provided every comfort, while the stunning lake views added a touch of tranquility. The hosts were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home and serving us the best breakfast and some other Iranian delicacies.

Tata and Hassan are the kindest sweetest hosts and they do their very best to make you feel completely at home. We felt incredibly welcome at our stay at My paradise and were regularly offered drinks and anything that could make us a little bit more comfortable. We had a masseuse come to the house and Tata kindly played calming music and set up the space with incense and tea. I felt very well taken care of : ) The breakfast was delicious and very generous. It was so nice to try some some beautiful Persian foods such as the dates with tahini and walnuts and coconut cream and the special peanuts. The space itself is gorgeous with the view onto the lake and you can completely relax and watch the various birds and monkeys explore the landscape. I couldn't recommend this stay more. Thank you Tata and Hassan <3

I believe the perfect is the best you can do will all the facilities you have in a situation. Sri Lanka does not have a stable electricity system, clean drinking water , safe roads and more. With all being said it is impossible to find anything in My Paradise which would rate the place less than excellent. It is the perfect for that environment and that country.

They have chosen the best name, My Paradise. I am vegan and Mr Hasan always had nice options of food for me. The room had big glass door so while staying in room enjoying the comfort of air conditioner we could look at the beautiful view of the garden. The cleanliness was comparable with best hotels I have been in Europe and Japan. The hosts kindly provided drinking water for guests so we could fill up our bottles. Finding a place like this is rare in Sri Lanka. I recommend My Paradise to anyone who has high expectations of a guest house.

We stayed in my Paradise and enjoyed peaceful logon, great hospitality and delicious food. The Owners are very friendly, always available for help and suggestions, have access to great drivers that picked us up from airport with very reasonable rate, also access to very polite and careful Tuk-Tuk drivers. Trip was one of the most memorable trip we had, thanks to My Paradise team. 😊

I like All things at the property. But there are a lot of neighbors dogs around the way bark on the road and sometimes it was difficult to cross when you are going to walk in the afternoon or evening

The property is next to a peaceful lagoon with a lot of birds . Nice & helpful staff Janaki , Pasindu, Romesh . With the friendly owners. that arrange everything you needed such as car tuck_tuk etc. with the good driver and prices. They have delicious healthy food with divers menu vegan vegetarian meat & seafood. . With an amazing breakfast that was served on the deck with lake view ,every day was changed by different omelet, fruit, tea and very nice coffee that you can find as a cafe. The Room was so clean and they attended to all the details for a comfortable stay. Also they have barbeque with juicy & tasty kebabs. I Hope I can come back again to srilanka. I will definitely choose my paradise again..

Of course, you don't have to be a poet to write a review of a place you've stayed, but here is full of lovely, poetic imagery, making it difficult to write. Sitting on the wooden deck under the moonlight and watching the palm trees sing. Seeing people from every culture happily spend their days and nights in dance, light and excitement. All this is color and poetry... A very quiet place for those who want to spend their time in peace. The rooms are clean and well equipped for a pleasant stay - even a long one. The food menu is diverse and suitable for every taste, starting with delicate breakfasts and continuing with colorful and cool drinks until lunch. But the final surprise is the kebab, which is full of magical flavors of seafood, meat, chicken and vegetables combined. Anyway, here is a piece of paradise where the shadow, the sun and the ocean hug each other...

Nothing to dislike. :)

The property was in a lovely quiet location, but also very near to the beach and restaurants etc. The lagoon out the front was beautiful. The food was exceptional and everyday we had breakfast it was slightly different. The owners of the property were very hospitable and always went the extra mile to make our stay so wonderful. We would definitely return here in the future.

A hidden gem in the south of Sri Lanka offering heartfelt hospitality, the most delicious food and serene views of a lagoon.

I‘m 1.85m and the bed was a bit too short for me (by +/- 10cm).

The place comprises a few huts beautifully located in a bay amidst lavish greenery. The huts were very clean and had everything we needed to stay comfortably for 12 days. Bathroom was good and clean with hot water. A/C and fan were working properly, rescuing us from the Sri Lankan heat. Estate is top-notch. They have a cute pier with a view on the bay and jungle. There are lots of animals lurking around. We spotted lots of mongooses and squirrels and iguanas. Nothing dangerous but cute. The hosts were fantastically nice and friendly. Perhaps the best hosts I have happened to have while travelling. On top of this accommodation, they also run a Persian food joint in central Ahangama called Food Paradise. You can get all of their food without leaving the premises. Also, some of the most delicious food we‘ve had in Sri Lanka — Persian food, though, not Sri Lankan. We had an excellent time at My Paradise and if ever come back to Sri Lanka, that‘s definitely a place where we want to stay.

A lovely place with delicious food and wonderful staff, they helped us with everything we needed. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. There is no need to go out for food at all, because all three meals are served with delicious drinks if needed. The best part of the food was the barbeque dishes that were cooked at night, vegetarian dishes are also served, thanks to the good staff of my paradise, who made us have a great time.
