We found this modern and impeccably maintained villa very homely and comfortable. Although we stayed only one night, we think this would be a perfect place for a longer family vacation. We loved the design of the villa with sea views, and the plunge pool was perfect to unwind after a day at the beach. Pehembiya beach that's a minute or two away is stunning, clean, calm enough to swim, surrounded by schools of fish, seabirds etc. There are also some wonderful restaurants close by, including the legendary Smoke and Bitters, that's a few minutes walk down the road

The owner made sure we were really well taken care of from the moment we arrived, he even prepared a fantastic Sri Lankan breakfast for us on arrival. The property itself is really well laid out and brand new. Its an ideal little holiday villa with three rooms and a little kitchen. Highly recommended!

Home from home! Ruwan and his family couldn’t have made us feel more welcome to their lovely Homestay. Nothing was too much trouble. The room had a very comfortable bed and modern bathroom. The shower was powerful and in the heat a welcome relief. Our room was on the small side but this wasn’t a problem as the outside space had a hammock, table and chairs. Breakfast was served daily by Ruwan and his lovely daughter. It was fresh and plentiful and always delivered with a big smile. The air conditioning in the room wasn’t great and took some getting used to. Ruwan did kindly offer to change our room but we declined as we didn’t want to inconvenience him with another room to clean. However it is only fair to share this information. We stayed 4 Nights with Ruwan and his family and everyday he checked on our welfare, if we needed anything or a ride anywhere. He organised a wonderful Whale watching trip for us, one we would recommend, as a must when in this area. Ruwan kindly cooked us a delicious Sri Lanka. Fish supper despite his wife only day’s earlier giving birth to their son. On New Years Day the family invited us for breakfast in their home. The food was plentiful, delicious and a reflection of this family’s kindness and willingness to share their hospitality with us. I urge Anyone in this area to visit Ruwan and his family if wanting an authentic experience. Ruwan, thank you , we will be back. You are in our hearts forever. Xox

Suresh and his team were incredible from start to finish. They made our stay truly special, with nothing ever being too much trouble. From running a petal-filled bath and thoughtful turndown touches, to preparing an authentic Sri Lankan meal on the beach using fire burners, every detail was exceptional. Tea appeared at the drop of a hat, always delivered with warmth and genuine care. We passed many resorts in the area, and this was by far the most luxurious and exclusive—by miles. The property is exquisitely designed, and privacy is never an issue, with each of the four guest rooms having its own separate entrance. The views and layout are outstanding. A leisurely five-course breakfast set up on the beach each morning was a daily highlight.

Ubuntu Beach Villas by Reveal

Mirissa

Located in Mirissa in the Matara District Region, 2.3 mi from Whale Watching Mirissa, Ubuntu by Lantern features an outdoor pool, barbecue and sun terrace.

The design of the place is great - minimal and relaxing. You can tell that they do a lot of work for maintenance - we saw someone painting over spots with white paint, and every day noticed someone cleaning the property and pool. Maleesha (the butler) was extremely attentive and kuddos to him since he was often managing the entire hotel service on his own (during lunch hours for instance). The rooms and hotel were very clean.

Phenomenal. Cozy and clean. Warm shower, AC, mosquito net, WiFi, universal sockets, a fridge (!), and a very large, delicious breakfast included. I love that it’s actually built on real trees with no pillars, and it really feels like you’re in the jungle.

Accomodation was clean and cozy. Most importantly it has AC which is a life saver. The Beach is quote good but you also have the access to Merrissa Beach via bus or tuktuk It also has some nice owners who helped us to find the best route to the house it was also my spouse's Birthday and they surprized us with a nice picture they've got on the first day and a nice gift.

Clean and cosy house, well equipped kitchen, a/c, good wi-fi, nice garden. The owners live in the other house on the same territory, but they never bothered and was very kind and helpful. Just you will need bike to reach the beach or main street, but it easy to rent. Good for long stay

We felt very lucky to be staying in such an idyllic place: the best view, incredibly delicious food and lovely ladies looking after us. We loved waking up at sunrise and going for walks along the beach and having many heavenly swims in the sea.

The name dream bungalow is accurate we wanted to live here forever. The garden, the outside kitchen and all the decor is beautiful, the whole place is very well thought out with everything you need, it’s very private and peaceful we absolutely loved it. One thing that could make it even better is if they provided a drinking water dispenser.

We had a wonderful experience staying in Mirissa. The host was incredibly kind, always ready to assist with any needs. The apartment itself was cozy, clean, without air condition but there were fans in bedrooms. The location was perfect for us, quite close to the beach (10-15min). Thank you for a fantastic stay!
