Villa Alba - Ahangama

We spent an unforgettable week at Villa Alba and honestly didn’t want to leave. Waking up to the sounds of birds and watching peacocks casually strut past the pool was surreal—living in luxury surrounded by nature. Squirrels darted through the trees, exotic birds flitted past our balcony, and the occasional curious peacock even stopped by to admire its reflection in the pool. There has been a lot of work and care in designing beautiful gardens where Villa Alba grows its own pineapples, jackfruit and chillis. An excellent place to take a yoga class with the Yogi. The food deserves its own standing ovation. The traditional Sri Lankan breakfasts were something special—hoppers, curries, and tropical fruits that made each morning feel like a celebration. And for our kids? The in-house chefs delivered amazing Western dishes that had them smiling every mealtime (and asking for seconds). Every dish was fresh, vibrant, and clearly made with love. The villa itself is beautiful—open, airy, and perfectly nestled in the lush landscape. It’s serene and stylish without being fussy, and the staff were exceptional—always on hand but never intrusive, anticipating needs before we even voiced them. Villa Alba is that rare blend of wild and wonderful, where five-star comfort meets beautiful, lush, natural surroundings. We will definitely be returning to Villa Alba in the future.

What an amazing hidden gem and perfect place to spend our honeymoon. We had the most wonderful 5 nights at Villa Alba. Our room was stunning and had the most beautiful views. The staff were extremely attentive and accommodating and made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived and throughout our whole stay - they really couldn’t do enough for us and were always so happy and polite. The menu and food at the hotel was outstanding and always so beautifully presented. We particularly loved the pool area, comfortable sun loungers and views over the beautiful gardens and rice fields. The hotel very kindly organised a safari for us at Udawalawe National Park - this is a must when staying in Sri Lanka. A day we will remember forever. Location is peaceful and only 10 minutes from the beach. Very easy to get to by tuk tuk which the hotel very kindly organised for us during our stay. We really can’t fault anything about this hotel. We really hope to return in the future will be recommending it to all of our friends. If you are considering booking Villa Alba please don’t think twice, you won’t regret it! Thank you to all of the staff at Villa Alba for your amazing hospitality and for making our first trip to Sri Lanka and honeymoon so memorable.

Our second stay here. Everything is perfect. It’s peaceful and beautiful and the rooms are incredible comfortable. The staff are excellent led by the very efficient manager Tharu and we had the best massage from Sampath… highly recommend. It is a bit outside Ahangama - - easy to get a Tuk into town or the beach - but we like being able to escape the noise afterwards and Villa Alba with its views over Paddi fields provides exactly that. And the rice comes for the delicious meals they produced for us comes from those paddi fields !! You can’t go wrong booking this place. We can’t wait to return!

This properly was beautiful, can’t recommend enough. Room was amazing and staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. Only a 7 minute tuk tuk from the beach.
