This hotel was one of the best hotels we stayed in Sri Lanka. Everything was just perfect: the beach, the restaurant, the service and all amenities. We stayed in a private garden villa , the room was super clean and nicely decorated. The breakfast had a big variety of healthy meals, lunch and dinner menu is very good, has a big choice of fresh fish and seafood. The service was just excellent! Highly recommend to go to cinema under the stars and enjoy a movie on the beach.
Will definitely recommend this place to friends.

This is a beach villa. You can see the sunrise over the Indian Ocean when you wake up! It's quiet and you won't be disturbed! Breakfast is ordered and tastes good. The location is relatively remote, so you basically eat in the hotel.

Complete delight) Starting from the staff who greeted us at the entrance to the hotel. I didn’t want to leave at all, but we were able to book only for one day; there were no villas available for other dates. The general manager met us and we had a personal assistant.
Everything is so beautiful, rooms with a private courtyard are more private than those with access to the sea. The interior is very stylish, a cool area for tea and a shower outside, and the most important thing is the presence of a bathroom) In the main building there is an area for working on a computer and a children's area - an incredibly beautiful room. There are many photo zones on the beach, there is a bar near the pool, and waiters serve drinks. The breakfast is perfect, the presentation and the dishes themselves are top class. We liked the dinner, we ordered a dish from the chef, it depends on the catch that day. We had lobsters. Everywhere they give compliments - coconuts upon arrival, shrimp by the pool, detox drinks for breakfast, etc. We travel a lot, but this particular hotel has sunk into our hearts. Probably, it’s also a matter of emotional attitude towards each guest. The general manager, Umberto, an Italian, accompanied us along with the rest of the staff. We'll definitely come back again.

Unforgettable, amazing, paradise. Glamping on another level. Complete luxury with every need looked after. Our whole family loved everything about this place. The kids highlight was the outside waterfall shower. The beach was beautiful and we loved watching the fishermen on the beach. All the staff were lovely.

We’ve just spent 10 days recharging at this beautiful resort – what a stunning and peaceful place. A heartfelt thank you to Umberto and his wonderful team for making our stay so special. We stayed in one of the beachfront Pallams, which offered a perfect blend of indoor and outdoor space. The highlight was definitely the uninterrupted view of the ocean and the spectacular sunrises each morning – absolutely breathtaking. The food was consistently excellent, with a great variety and a well-balanced mix of Western and Sri Lankan dishes. Every meal felt thoughtful and delicious, with something to suit every mood. This was our fourth visit to Sri Lanka, and although we were fortunate enough to stay for 10 days, it’s well worth spending at least three nights here to truly enjoy the beach and relax into the pace of the resort. A special mention goes to the magical cinema under the stars – such a unique and peaceful way to enjoy a film. We left feeling refreshed and grateful, and would return in a heartbeat.

Ok, so far this is the best hotel I have ever stayed taking into consideration its value for money. The place is exactly how you see it on the pictures! Very attentive General manager who does a lot to keep high standards. Food was amazing, spa was very peaceful, rooms are of good size and you can notice attention to details everywhere. Definitely will come back as 3 nights were not enough here!

The beautifully arrangement of stable 2-layer tents inmidst a palmtree garden is overwhelming. A special thanks to our 'butler' Chaminda as he was making our time really stress free. From renting a tuk tuk to serving dinner on the beach, he helped us enjoying our time at this great place even more. The chef is also a great artist, we had everything from the menu and it was all phantastically arranged, fresh and tasty. Director Umberto is in control of everything in a very charming way. We thank the whole team for the great hospitality and the many smiles and chats during our stay. We really felt at home.

This is an excellent hotel run by lovely people in the perfect location on an unspoilt beach. We loved our stay here- it was the perfect place to unwind and rest in peace during our tour of Sri Lanka. We stayed for 4 nights in a Palam beachfront suite. The rooms are huge air conditioned tents with super company beds and all the mod cons you need. The food was excellent ( we did the half board option) and well worth choosing half or full board as it is pretty far from other options. The staff on all departments were excellent and super attentive and friendly. The pool was perfect ( and much needed as it was super hot), and the sea is fabulous and easy to access ( soft sand nor too steep a drop on entry). If you want to treat yourself for a few days by a beautiful, huge peaceful beach then pick this hotel! It is truly special.
