A great find in quiet corner of Southern Sri Lanka away from the crowds. A beautiful palm lined pool on a quiet wild stretch of beach. What makes the resort so special is the hospitality of the excellent team who can’t do enough to make your stay memorable. The small boutique concept works really well with excellent quality food and drinks and good value for money. We will definitely be back.

We enjoyed our stay, but a few things could be improved: Dinner starts at 7 PM, but the restaurant lights were left off, making it near impossible to see our meal. This seemed to be an attempt to prevent flying insects, but it affected the dining experience. We booked Number 7 Deluxe Double Room with a Side Sea View for three adults. However, the “sea view” was mostly obstructed by large exterior walls, with only a small glimpse of the pool next door and a little bit of the sea. The single bed was more like a cot bed, and our adult daughter’s feet hung over the end. Despite these points, we enjoyed the overall experience.

Overall the grounds are beautiful! It is very apparent the staff take pride in maintaining this! Along with lovely smiles! The pool has a beautiful view and well maintained, seating is spotted around to relax and eat, beautiful quiet beach to walk along, spa massages relaxing! Restaurant serves range of foods for breakfast, lunch/substantial snack foods , cocktails/ beer, dinner from 7pm. We have spent 2 weeks intrepid travelling and this was our chill time for 2 nights. Thoroughly enjoyed thanks to the very welcoming, happy staff! Definitely stay again but in a room with a view.

Basically everything! Location, staff, food, room - all excellent. As with most places the staff either make or break a stay and at the Turtle Bay they certainly made it. Raji and Adi in the restaurant backed up by the talented Fernando in the kitchen really enhanced our stay - Sarat the manager has a great team. Thank you everyone!

We have just spent a week at this fantastic small hotel. What made it so special? Firstly the location is absolutely stunning, a palm fringed, empty beach, white topped waves and the sun shining in the blue sky. If you want quiet serenity, then this is the place for you. It is a place for rest and relaxation, reading, swimming and eating delicious food. Fresh seafood and fish are bought from the harbour each day and there are Sri Lankan and some western meals on the menu too. Breakfast is a buffet and I recommend asking the young chef to make you a fresh hopper which you can fill from a selection of Sri Lankan dishes. Best of all were the staff. They looked after us so well and really went out of their way to make our stay perfect.

Nothing!! Everything was amazing.

What a beautiful hotel! The staff is amazing and each one of them is so kind and sweet. The whole hotel is a very beautiful place with nice details and soms colorful art. Very dreamy. We really didn’t want to leave this place! The beach is beautiful and quiet. The room is also beautiful. Falling asleep with the sounds of the sea cradling you. We could see the sunset from our balcony. Great shower. The food is very good. We had diner right next to the pool with lights in it, what makes it a very romantic experience. My husband asked for some flowers on the bed because it was our anniversary and they gave us very nice flowers and a beautiful room. We had an amazing stay. Especially because of the lovely staff. Highly recommended!!!!

Bathroom needs an update.

We had a fantastic stay in Turtle Bay. The staff is really friendly and they do everything to make you feel comfortable. I had an issue on my room the first night and they solved it right away, every day they checked if it was still okay. The food is good, breakfast too, the surroundings are amazing. We loved the endless beach and the rough sea. Hope to come back some day!

Wifi doesn’t work properly which makes it difficult to communicate

Location is just attached to the pristine beach. Staff is very friendly and give attention to details. Chef is also very kind and is accommodating of personal preferences and requests. Very warm people and overall comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend

The kids had a blast at the pool and beach. The staff were super friendly, and the buffet was a great deal. The rooms were clean, and the beds were comfy. It’s in a perfect spot, away from the crowded beaches.

No atmosphere and nothing to do regarding games or social areas for guests. A lounging area would be great for rainy days, with books and games and to aid a friendlier atmosphere amongst the guests.

Stunning location. Away from crowds. Peaceful. Friendly and helpful staff,

As a family of five, we had an unforgettable vacation at Turtle Beach Hotel. The friendly and attentive staff gave us a warm welcome and ensured our stay was relaxing and comfortable. A special mention goes to Rajesh, who took excellent care of us, especially when it came to helping us choose the best dishes. His recommendations and attention to detail truly elevated our dining experience. The hotel’s location is absolutely stunning – right on a beautiful natural beach with turquoise waters and soft white sand. It was perfect for all of us, from the youngest to the adults. The beach is peaceful and safe, making it ideal for families. The food was exceptional, with a wide variety of dishes that catered to all our tastes – from local specialties to kid-friendly options. Thanks to Rajesh’s guidance, we enjoyed fresh seafood and a range of culinary treats we might have otherwise missed. Turtle Beach Hotel is a perfect choice for families, combining comfort, natural beauty, and outstanding hospitality. We would gladly return!

Our stay at Turtle Bay Boutique Hotel was absolutely wonderful! The hotel offers a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive—from the manager to the housekeeping team and the massage therapist, everyone made us feel so welcome and cared for. The food is excellent, and the Christmas Dinner they organized was a highlight of our stay. Everything was beautifully decorated, and the team created a festive evening. The rooms are lovely and clean, offering all the comfort you need. The beach is breathtaking—an endless stretch of sand, stunning waves, and untouched natural beauty. There were very few tourists, making it feel like our own private paradise. If you’re looking for a peaceful, relaxing and heartwarming experience, Turtle Bay Boutique Hotel is the place to be.

It was lovely to come to this boutique hotel, nice room with a fabulous view. Wonderful and happy staff that makes you feel very welcome and provide an excellent service. The hotel takes care of the property and the interior. Very relaxing visit. We would love to come back. The restaurant has very good food with reasonable prices.

Really nothing. The location is fairly remote, so if you want to be walking to a town for dinner/drinks etc maybe not the right place. However if you want to just relax and have some time out in the quiet then this is for you.

I couldn’t give this hotel a higher rating. Everything was just perfect. The food was fresh and delicious. Rooms were clean, big and refreshed twice a day. The pool overlooks the beach with towels provided fresh. The main reason for my rating is the staff. They go above and beyond to make sure you are happy, have everything you need and just small touches make you feel special (flowers on the bed, tea and cake on an afternoon brought to you, always happy to help - provided a yoga mat when I wanted to stretch in the garden). It’s a little oasis. Thankyou for the best stay.
