Really cool tree house rooms on the peninsula. The host and cook is amazing and he makes delicious meals. The rooms are clean and spacious. The bathroom is partially open air which was really cool. The hammocks and tables made it a peaceful haven. The pool was still being made when I went but it will be a really nice addition. I highly recommend this place.

This stylish, charming homestay is exceptional, from its beautiful design and garden ( with wonderful birdsong) to the conviviality of our delightful host and hostess who served delicious, homemade food. Nerantha was very helpful too when we had a problem with the tuk tuk. Elegant Hamlets is a very special place. Thank you so much, Sherrie and Nerantha.

This place is amazing. If you want to go to Wilpattu National Park, this is the perfect accommodation. We booked The Sanctuary half an hour before arriving and we were warmly greeted at the door by the owner Siraj. Siraj's passion for environmental protection is incredible. His knowledge of the ecology of the area is huge. Siraj and his team provided us with first class hospitality, beautiful food and a fully organized safari we will never forget (for a very competitive price). Extras like plentiful home grown bananas, a night tour of the grounds (seeing flying foxes and mouse deer) and free photos of what we saw on safari were the icing on the cake. It was a privilege to have stayed at The Sanctuary and we left enriched. I would not hesitate to return here in future.

Stayed for 1 week and will come back - says everything. Staying at this villa was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! The location is perfect—just a short stroll to the beach—and the value for what you get is truly unmatched. The food was incredible, with fresh, delicious options every day that made every meal feel special. The customer service was outstanding, and the host made all the difference. They were so kind, welcoming, and genuinely eager to help with anything I needed. Honestly, I might have taken advantage of their generosity a little (they were just that amazing!). Whether it was arranging activities, offering local tips, or simply ensuring I was comfortable, they went above and beyond every step of the way. If you're looking for a relaxing, memorable stay with exceptional service, incredible food, and great value near the beach, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!

Totally exceeded our expectations! Even better than the photos and super friendly people treat you just like family. Such a clan and nicely decorated place and super comfortable beds, comforter and fluffy pillows on a soft bed. just what we needed! Also about as close as you can get to the rickshaw run start line so was a super location for us. No hot water but we didn’t even miss it.

Sunsantha was a great host. The breakfast is nice and the organize kite trips which were very fun! Nice Kite Community! In terms of kite surfing gear they have good kites in my opinion but the boards are very old and not of good quality…
