We loved this place and will definitely be coming back! There are so many small and thoughtful details that the staff uphold that make the place so welcoming and friendly. We had a memorable yet relaxing stay here and the only regret is that we wish we would have booked longer! The food was delicious and they catered to our dietary requirements without any fuss. For us, it ticked every box, Magical place!

Beautiful welcoming hotel
Loved the whole experience. The food was the best we have had in Sri Lanka so far. The staff couldn’t do more to make you feel at home. There were turtles on the deserted stunning beach and the whole place is just beautiful Nick the owner is very friendly and welcoming. We couldn’t have had a better time.

Where to start. Nick Buckingham is a legend - and his hotel team is first rate. The food... oh the food - truly brilliant. Don’t leave this place without at least having ordered tuna for your supper. The bedrooms and bathrooms are a wow factor, the oceanfront pool is superb and the whole experience is fantastic. Well done Nick Buckingham - you’ve created a mini paradise. Kind regards Lucy & Chris CP
