The staff are extremely friendly and cant do enough for you. the food was fresh and delicious and the beach is so private- you have the whole bay to yourself. Its great if what you are looking for is some solitude

Suki Netherlands

The location is amazing - about 15 min drive by Tuk-Tuk from Arugam bay, which gives you almost 100% private beach just few steps away and little quiet peaceful paradise. The condos are super authentic.

Anastasiia United Arab Emirates

Niyas is a gem of a host. In one day, we felt like we are staying with friends. The whole staff made sure that every aspect of our stay was memorable. Unfortunately, there wasn't much to do in town due to off season but we definitely plan to be back during season time.

We loved our stay at Niaz’ place! Lovely cabins with awesome seaview. Niaz was a perfect host and speaks English astoundingly well. We forgot a painting in the room and he especially arranged a courier to our next location, which was great! Nothing but good words about our stay here.
