Facing the beachfront, DORMERO Hotel Sri Lanka Hikkaduwa Beach offers 5-star accommodation in Hikkaduwa and features an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre and garden. With a terrace, the property also has a restaurant, as well as a bar. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. A fantastic place right by the ocean. The hotel staff, along with the hotel manager and the hotel's four-paw manager, made us feel right at home from the very moment our car pulled up to the entrance. The attention to detail was unprecedented, and the small touches everywhere continued to surprise us, even after a few days.

This 5-star hotel offers a terrace. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. One of the perfect stay we had during our Sri Lanka Trip. Villa Rumassala Luxury Chalets exceed all our expectations. Villas were huge and exceptionally clean. Kitchen was well equipped and bathroom had a washing machine too. There was greenery all around and so very peaceful. The staff was so welcoming, warm and always smiling. Their hospitality was one of the finest. We used to order food in room service and it was super delicious. Somedays I really miss this place. Whenever I visit again, without a second thought I will only stay here.

The Sun House has a garden, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Galle. Featuring an outdoor swimming pool, the 5-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The property is non-smoking and is situated 1.9 km from Mahamodara Beach. Stunning colonial house converted to a boutique hotel. Tranquil garden and small pool, but fine to refresh after a hot day out. Beautiful views, we could see the sea from our room and we had monkeys outside our window watching us shower! The breakfast was delicious and there was plenty of it. Service was excellent too.

Ideally set in Galle, Taavetti offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, free private parking and room service. Among the various facilities of this property are a garden, a private beach area and a shared lounge. The hotel has an indoor pool, evening entertainment and a shared kitchen.

Taavetti offers a terrace. The area is popular for fishing and snorkelling, and bike hire is available at this 5-star hotel. From the moment I arrived the staff did an amazing job, nothing was any trouble and always a smile.. add to this an amazing building and decor you have an amazing hotel. I made the mistake of booking a place in the fort for the social aspect that was more expensive and half as nice in every department, probably forgo the 3 nights in the new place and return to Taavetti, you won't regret booking i promise you.

Located in Habaraduwa, a few steps from Koggala Beach, Josan Villa with a Glorious Beach and Sea View provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a private beach area. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, room service and a 24-hour front desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Each room comes with a balcony with a sea view. Overall our stay was just beautiful! We stayed for 6 nights at the end of our Sri Lanka trip. We chose the hotel as we wanted one directly at the beach (check: The Hotel is right at the beach and you have a perfect Sea-view from every Hotel), which isn't too big (check: The hotel has 3 rooms total, so you're not just a number) and has at least the possibility to eat there (check: breakfast was included, dinner was optional but we ate there 4 times) John (the owner) and his crew is a really nice and helpful person, he even took us once to Galle, as he had something to do there so we hadn't have to take an Uber there. He was always there for a small chat (if you wanted, he was never intrusive). The boys who work for him are phenomenal! Always nice and accomodating! But also never too much. There was a menu for breakfast where you could choose between different things, in our opinon there is enough choice for a week. We even got asked the last day if we want a typical sri lankan breakfast (which we luckily had as it was really delicious!). What we have to add is, that John wasn't above to clean the beach every morning himself! We saw him cleaning some stuff which felt down from the trees or got blown at the beach infront of the hotel. This shows his passion for this hotel. Hopefully the hotel and the crew stays at is! We really can recommend a stay at Josan Villa! We will be staying there, if we come back to Sri Lanka at some point. Thanks John!
