Hotels in Sri Lanka

We recently stayed at Samadhi Lagoon Villa for 3 days, and it was a truly peaceful and memorable experience for our family. The villa is beautifully situated, offering breathtaking lagoon views that create the perfect atmosphere for relaxation. The rooms were clean, spacious, and tastefully designed, combining both comfort and elegance. The staff were warm, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile, which made us feel genuinely welcome. The food was fresh and delicious, with a delightful variety of local dishes. We also enjoyed a wonderful kayak boat ride on the lagoon, which added to the charm of the serene environment. Waking up to the sounds of nature and watching the sunset over the lagoon was truly magical, providing an ideal setting for meditation.

The property was very new and stylish. All the facilities were new and clean. The staff was really friendly and helpful. The breakfast was a lot and very tasty. We had the double room with air conditioning and it was really perfect. We also did the safari with the hotel and it was a very good price for the value.

Kind staff, idyllic atmosphere, and close to the national park. The host offers various services, such as safari, cooking class, boat safari, etc. The swimming pool is a nice way to cool yourself down on a hot day.

I will tell anyone coming to Sri Lanka - stay with Ravi at Margosa Mountain Villa. Best stay on our trip and top 5 lifetime. Stunning setting. Perfect room. Delicious food -organic rice, fruit, fish etc. right from the property, expertly cooked by Ravi’s wife Sewwandi. Pool is sublime. Birds galore (and easy to find and ID with Ravi’s help). Booked for two days. Stayed for 4. Great spot for excursions Dambulla, Sigiriya, and beyond, but we were happy just to relax and meditate on our good fortune to be there. Ravi spent 23 years as tour guide and it shows both in his care and expertise. I know this review sounds like a plug from one of his friends but I promise that 5 days ago we’d never met. But, yes, we have definitely made a new friend. Stay as long as you can.

The owners are super sweet and the staff are so friendly and accommodating. Felt like staying at home

Clean and good room also the owner is good help and breakfast amazing ❤️thanku so much

1. Hotel is fresh and new and of really a good quality. Nothing experienced heavy usage like in Riff - the only real 5* competitor on Hikka beach 2. I got Deluxe suite with Seaview for the price of a regular room cos the hotel just started to work and had not much of guests. 3. Room has excellent sleeping conditions which is rare on Shri: blind curtains & you can sleep with ac on without a risk to catch cold. Priceless.

We had an amazing 11 days stay here :) Spacious, clean, sunny, great breakfast and great value for money, big kitchen, beautiful garden, and amazing hosts! Super helpful and communicative. We didn’t feel like guests or tourists in the town, we felt as if this was our home, it was nice for us to be in a neighborhood with locals as well, so it was perfect for a long terms stay. The bedroom was very comfortable, there was AC but we switched mostly to using the ceiling fans because they were so strong and effective :) It’s Close to the train station (we had a perfect day trip to Galle and we took the train) and also close to bus stops. There is a quiet beach just a few minutes away, feels like our own private beach, we didn’t see other tourists there, there’s a relaxed restaurant too for any meal or drink you may want. although the waves seemed strong so we didn’t go in the water. Very short Tuktuk ride to Weligama, also close to mirissa, and we also enjoyed riding to madiha as well. The breakfasts were so good! Best value for money, perfect mix of super authentic Sri Lankan food and western staples (there were always eggs). we loved the fun cakes!! And enjoyed trying the foods we didn’t see at restaurants. We were super lucky we were the only guests there, so we had a perfect stay. The villa is a really good option for a group, or a family, because the kitchen and couch and balcony are technically common-shared with the other guests. Also a good choice if you are renting a Tuktuk or motorcycle because you will have the driveway or front yard to park it.

My family had the best time in Forest Nest with Saman and his wife and child. His wife cooked the best meals for us; Saman leads two tours in the SINHARAJA forest . One is a night walk that is 3-4 hours long ! The other is a day tour that is 5-6 hours long . He helped my son tremendously and didn’t charge my son at all. His family is genuinely helpful and kind. Nothing is too much trouble and they are always there when we need them . Saman is also a bird guide who took my husband on two walks to spot birds. The cabin is well-appointed and has the best view in the area ! The shower is hot and there is a fan . We stayed two nights and this is certainly NOT enough .

Alles! Dieses Hotel war mit Abstand der Favorit unserer Zeit in Sri Lanka! Die Hütten sind top ausgestattet und sehr sauber, die Betten bequem und alles funktioniert einwandfrei.
