The villa is perfect for those seeking peace and tranquility. After a 10-day tour around Sri Lanka, we came here to unwind and recharge. I spent a long time searching for a place that would meet all our expectations, and I’m so happy that I found this villa. The villa is well-designed, spacious, very clean, and well-maintained. Throughout our stay, the caretaker, Suba, took great care of us, and Dushante prepared delicious meals. We also used the laundry service once, which was very convenient. Thanks to these two gentlemen, we truly had an amazing experience. Each day, we planned what we wanted to eat, and our wonderful hosts took care of all the shopping and meal preparation. Dushante even took us to Rekawa Beach, where we had the unforgettable experience of watching turtles at night. The villa is located directly on a stunning, long, and clean beach. The ocean here is wild, and the waves are not suitable for small children. The surroundings are quiet, with only local fishermen nearby. One thing worth mentioning is that many of the villa's fantastic perks were not listed on Booking.com, which is a shame. I highly recommend adding all the small details to the description, as it would create an even better impression (e.g., on-demand meal preparation, laundry service, transportation to the nearest town, assistance with organizing trips, a first-aid kit, etc.). We had an incredible time here, and even though we rarely return to the same place twice, we definitely have to come back to this one!

Our three days at fishermen’s lodge were super special, we felt so welcome and included in their family. The food in the restaurant was really amazing, the host is a great cook, we loved especially her rice and curry and the grilled fish. The traditional breakfast was also really good! The room was really simple, but still very clean and the host was always ready to help us in any way. You just walk a few steps to the beautiful beach which is nearly empty! In the morning the host took us fishing one time, which was the most special and fun experience! Overall we really recommend coming here for an authentic and local experience with extraordinary people! Thank you for everything! We might come back one time :)

Everything. Super clean, comfy and spacious room! Owner is friendly and helps out in everything. He's the best! He took us to a closeby place where turtles hatch. Had no luck with baby turtles due to the bad weather...but guess what?? We saw a big turtle laying its eggs. Beautiful nature♥️ breakfast was superb too! Owner varied it and gave us a taste of great SriLankan food. Ended up spending an extra night there, even though it's during the rainy season!

Staff is to be mentioned first. Guys are amazing. Our stay was always taken care of. The location and the setup of the hotel could not be better. It is like 30 meters from you terrace to the beach. Pool is great as well. So is the restaurant. Food is very very good.

Wonderful location at an almost secluded beach. The beach is one of the best we ever been to. We had a great and relaxing time and would always come back. Breakfast was very good with a nice selection.

Everything especially the friendly stuff. Kamal, Lakmal, Miton and the chef Lasanta. They were extremely helpful and welcoming. We feel like we are at home. Secondly, the interior, the Villa building, design and furniture are outstanding. I like all details about it. Also, the view is amazing. Highly recommended for anyone. Perfect also for honeymooners.

    This house and the location is absolutely stunning. Quiet beach, beautiful pool and it actually feels like you in paradise. The housekeeper and cook were AMAZING. They cooked us delicious food, did our washing, went shopping with us and made our stay very special

    Lovely studio set just back from the beach in a quiet and beautiful area. It’s was so wonderful to be in such a quiet and serene location with the waves the only sound. Nish is a fantastic host and the food was both delicious and plentiful. He very kindly organised a Sri Lankan cookery class with him and his Mum, also got to eat it afterwards, yum. The beach is stunning and had a few plays in the waves although a little rough to swim. Also had a yoga class a few minutes away which was hard but felt great after.

    I will again choose this down-to-earth, authentic beach house in kalametiya over nearby resorts (with 2x, 3x times the price) for the very simple reason: you are the only guest staying here. There is only one room in this small patch of land. It makes you feel cozy and at home. There are helpers who would come in to clean or cook for you on request but mostly you will be left on your own. Perfect if you like privacy and want to stay longer here.

    Lovely villa with spacious bedrooms and a nice living room and terrace facing the pool and the garden. Very convenient with kids. The beach is almost all yours and pretty but the waves are huge so young kids cannot swim by themselves. Location is remote which is good and bad (beautiful nature but a bit far away from places to visit - except Udawalawe Park and Mulkirigala temple which are easy to reach and both amazing to visit). Philip and Dushantha are very nice and were adorable with the kids.
