We had an absolutely amazing stay. As someone who regularly stays at Relais & Châteaux properties, I can confidently say the level of service here truly matches that standard. From the moment we arrived, the staff were exceptional—warm, attentive, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Their genuine hospitality made a lasting impression.The food was consistently delicious, with a great variety and quality, even though we also took the opportunity to explore a few dining spots around Hiriketiya. Still, meals at the property were among our favorites. The grounds themselves are beautifully maintained, featuring lush tropical gardens, mature trees, and vibrant plants that create a peaceful, secluded atmosphere.In the evenings, the candlelight ambiance adds something really special. Staying in an ocean-facing room was a highlight—you can hear the waves at night, which makes for a deeply relaxing experience. The property also felt very safe, and we loved seeing monkeys and peacocks wandering around the grounds.Even though we visited during the low season, everything exceeded expectations. We first stayed in a sea-view bedroom and later upgraded to a Master Bedroom with a plunge pool, which made the experience even more memorable.With upcoming renovations and a spa in the works, we would absolutely love to return. An extraordinary stay from start to finish.

Visited recently for two nights and I highly rate the service of the staff at the property, specially have to mention the manager Promodya who personally checked on our needs and made sure we had a perfect stay.Food is excellent and special mention to the chefs personally checking up on food and attending to our individual requirements.Thank you and great work.

Sensational stay at this beach front property. Personable and considered hospitality from all staff. Delicious and good value food menu with good seafood options on the beach. The beach itself is a quiet and beautiful stretch on to the ocean with clean sand and warm, swimmable waves. Big and clean rooms and bathrooms. Comfortable bed with firm mattress. We would love to visit again.

We had a truly wonderful family holiday at Taru Villa Mawella. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile.A special thank you to the manager, Pramodya Herath, who was absolutely exceptional so professional, caring, and always willing to go the extra mile to make our stay unforgettable.The hotel itself is a real haven of peace, a little paradise where you instantly feel relaxed. The atmosphere is calm, beautiful, and welcoming. The location is also ideal, just about 15 minutes from amazing surf beaches and great spots to explore.We couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend quality time with our family. Highly recommended we will definitely come back!

Great location and view. Beautiful design. We stayed at the Korumba house for 4 nights. The house has a kitchen and 2 rooms. We only used 1 room. Both rooms have a double bed. The open area between the rooms is very nicely done. The place is almost luxury but not entirely, for improvement I suggest to replace the beds to be bigger and with more comfy mattresses. I suggest to install a modern water heater system for the bathroom as the existing one is just a small tank, to train all staff and not just a few to be professional even though they are all nice and friendly. Staff were appearing suddenly in front of the villa so we suggest you add a bell to announce their arrival and repeat the privacy of the guests. We had an issue with our missing luggage at airport . We were not happy with the way staff tried to help us at all and the issue was not addressed neither rectified hence my comments on the need to train staff to go extra miles honestly and genuinely to want to make the guest experience beautiful. But of course I still recommend the place because I believe it all depends on your experience and it’s different for each one. Thanks to the team who did their best
