Surrounded by greenery, Shangri-lanka Villa is just a 10-minute walk from Bentota Beach. It features an outdoor swimming pool, an Ayurveduc massage centre and rooms with free WiFi access. It is a bird watchers paradise.

Cannot rate my stay highly enough! Rohan went out of his way to ensure my stay was comfortable. And that every need was met. Beautiful rooms, high quality furnishings. Own balcony, enormous bathroom. Hot Tea on tap. Delicious food, extensive menu. Rohan saw I had been scammed at a local Herb and Spice Garden and organised for me to get my money back. And took me to a jewellers where I bought a quality ring at a very competitive price.

Set in beautiful landscaped grounds, Haus Berlin offers relaxing stays in spacious rooms. Featuring an outdoor pool, it offers bike rental and free WiFi in public areas for free. The property provides Ayurveda treatments.

We booked the big deluxe room and the name is really acurate. The room is amazing, it is decorated with a lot of good taste and so comfortable, we loved it! The garden and pool are great also and its very quiet there, which is nice too. To get to beach you need a tuk tuk or scooter but thats worth it i think! Food was not so cheap compared to many other places we went to but good and tasty and homemade so in the end no complaint on that end. I would definately recommend the place after all!

Offering an outdoor swimming pool, Villa Velmarie is located just 2.4 km from the Bentota River Airport. Free Wi-Fi is available in all areas of the property. It provides a 24-hour front desk for the convenience of the guests.

Booking our stay at Villa Velmarie for a yoga and Ayurveda retreat turned out to be the highlight of our trip to Sri Lanka, and it's the reason we're already planning to return. The serene ambiance of the retreat, coupled with the expert guidance of Therapist Lakna, made our 8-day stay truly rejuvenating. Lakna's expertise in Ayurveda added an extra layer of authenticity to the experience, leaving us feeling both relaxed and invigorated. The chef's culinary skills were another standout feature – every meal was a delightful journey of fresh and delicious flavors. From sunrise yoga sessions to the nourishing Ayurvedic treatments, Villa Velmarie exceeded our expectations. If you're seeking a peaceful escape that seamlessly blends yoga, Ayurveda, and exceptional hospitality, Villa Velmarie is the perfect choice. We can't wait to return for another enriching retreat at this hidden gem in Sri Lanka.

    Room was perfect! Super beautiful, great interior design, it was spacious. Bed was comfortable. I liked all details that made it cozy and it felt like home. Breakfast was delicious. Additonally, it was nice to have a spot to dry clothes outside and to have access to prepare some snacks or tea. Location was great, just couple of minutes to walk to the beach and to the main road. I highly recommend it :)

    The villa overall is absolutely gorgeous. Looking right out onto the beach and the villa is so lovely and tropical modern in its design and aesthetic. There are two villas, one each side of a fabulous pool in the middle. The chef was amazing with incredible food and service, we were on full board which we highly recommend - once you arrive it’s very hard to leave. The caretaker, groundsmen and security were all fantastic. We would absolutely recommend this accommodation.

    What a great place. Staff were excellent, The grounds are so well kept. The private beach is amazing and you have your own attendant. Very colonial by design and a real boutique experience. Food was also amazing, really varied and top quality at reasonable prices . Nice touches in the room with Nespresso maker and the wonderful anti mosquito lotion. The outside seating area they give you a bell to ring if you need anything. The one special treat is the 4 o'clock afternoon tea that is included. Very British
