Location in tuktuk drive away from Unawatuna and Jungle beach but very private and quiet because it is away from the main road. The rooms are amazing and spacious with own kitchen and balcony. As there are not many rooms then the hotel and pool area feels private and relaxing. The staff is helpful and keeps the place tidy.

Our stay at Sielen Diva exceeded all expectations for many reasons: - The villa is GORGEOUS - the pictures on the booking page are already beautiful, but in person it's even more beautiful. The common areas are comfortable and the room was spaceous, luxurious and worked well for our 7 day stay. The close proximity to the nearly private, quiet beach is also a massive a massive bonus as the beaches in the area are fairly crowded with tourists. - The food is DELICIOUS - we traveled around Sri Lanka for 2 weeks and the food at Sielen Diva was the best we had throughout our whole trip. The menu is extensive with everything from Avocado toast and granola bowls in the morning to delicious fresh juices, specialty cocktails, home made ice cream to more traditional sri lankan food such as curries. I also have to mention that the chef and villa manager are super attentive to their guests' needs. Every evening we got a special mix of curries, one of us is allergic to onion and the food was adapted to this and we briefly mentioned that we love mangoes, after which we got fresh mango daily. - The staff is the KINDEST we've ever experienced - the villa staff was honestly what made our trip (on top of everything else). Everyone is SO SO friendly, helpful and caring. I want to give a special mention to the villa manager George who went above and beyond throughout the whole week to make our stay comfortable and smooth, organising rides, a special birthday celebration with cake, giving advice, picking up fresh veggies, seafood and fruit from the farmer's market and generally being an amazing human. Both of us have traveled loads around the world and stayed at top notch hotels and our experience at Sielen Diva was among the best (if not the best) hotel experience we've ever had. Do yourself a favor and STAY HERE!!!

A little slice of paradise – Sergeant House Boutique Villa Staying at Sergeant House felt like entering a private oasis where every detail is designed for peace, beauty, and complete relaxation. The lush garden is a dream – full of tropical plants, elegant stone paths, and the soothing sound of nature. Monkeys leap playfully between the trees, colorful koi swim lazily in the pond alongside gentle turtles, and the entire atmosphere is one of balance and serenity. The pool is simply perfect – crystal clear and surrounded by greenery that gives you the feeling of being deep in nature, yet with all the comfort of a boutique retreat. The rooms are beautifully decorated, combining elegance with tradition, and offer total privacy and comfort. Breakfast and meals at the restaurant are a delight – fresh, flavorful, and served in a tranquil setting that makes you want to linger just a little longer each time. The staff are kind, discreet, and attentive, always ready to help with a genuine smile. Sergeant House isn’t just a place to stay. It’s a place to breathe deeply, to slow down, and to feel genuinely at home in the most beautiful way. Whatever I write feels too little – this place is an experience in itself.

One of the best stays of our entire trip! Everything was excellent — from the warm welcome to the smallest details. The room was the most spacious and comfortable we experienced, with the comfiest bed of our whole holiday. Everything was spotlessly clean, including the lovely pool, which was perfect for relaxing. The surroundings are absolutely stunning — you really feel immersed in the lush beauty of nature, and yet you’re just a short drive from Unawatuna. It’s the perfect balance of peace and convenience. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was the kindness and generosity of the hosts. Every morning, an amazing breakfast was prepared right in front of us, full of fresh, delicious ingredients. You can really feel the care they put into everything. We would come back in a heartbeat — highly recommended!

Villa Ishq is a wonderfully luxurious villa set on a beachfront location in Talpe on the southern coast of Sri Lanka. The 5 bedroom suites are very well appointed and the bathrooms are huge and beautifully designed. What sets Villa Ishq above others is the staff. Led by the villa manager Nimal the staff are both many in number and super attentive. The cuisine is superb with all the local curries cooked fresh every day. We could order almost anything which was sourced locally and cooked to perfection. We had a most wonderful time! Many thanks for hosting us!

We highly recommend elysium! Best place we have ever been in our life! Best in Sri Lanka so far, the food is just amazing, I’m a chef with 1 Michelin star and one green star and I can tell you they know what they do, we ate at the hotel every day, best food we tried in Sri Lanka, and they have amazing local variety menu “a la carte” with Asian and Indian cuisine, the fresh fruit , drinks and wine collection they have is also unique and amazing, nobody else has it in Sri Lanka. Also the place is extraordinary , clean, calm and extremely private you really feel like you have it for yourself, the staff is very very nice, polite and respectful, anything you need they will help you, they have a private access to the beach where the view and sunset is amazing, imagine how amazing it is, I have asked my future wife to get married there at the beach by the hotel, really a very beautiful and unique place, the privacy and the calm make everything so especial, also the staff was super friendly and help me with talking pictures, amazing, what else? We couldn’t ask for more. But also the owner Catherine and her husband run this place with extraordinary excellence and also they make you feel like you are at home, taking care of everything, here details matter and you can notice that since you step inside the property. We are very grateful for everything we had an amazing experience and we can’t wait to come back, thank you so much!
