assanka is the most valuable treasure about this place, the most amazing guy he went way beyond the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable.

Wadah Saudi Arabia

Beautiful rooms. Great welcome. Nice garden and very god breakfast.

Jérôme France

Passionate service and the swimming pool is very clean. Homeless cats and dogs there raised well and wild animals like this turtle

Hui China

This hotel is a great spot to enjoy right before flying home! A glorious pool and a wonderful room. We spent a lovely day just reading and swimming under the frangipani trees. Asanka, our host, went out of his way to make sure we had no worries. He prepared great and authentic Sri Lankan food and we had some lovely and interesting chats with him. Highly recommended!

Florian Belgium

Just an incredible place- tranquil, beautiful. The staff are wonderful and cant do enough for you. Special thanks to Asanka who seems to handle so much but manages to cook the most delicious vegetarian Sri Lankan food. Love the ethos of the owner- Palitha as he looks after rescue dogs, cats and even a friendly tortoise! The pool is fabulous- gets the sun all day.

Nicolas United Kingdom

Highly recommended - we booked 2 nights, ended up staying 5. It’s so relaxed and a tranquil place to stay, especially for a first or last night as nearer to airport than Colombo city. Beach 5 mins walk away, with some nice restaurants/beach bars nearby but definitely get dinner at the Villa Araliya. Some of the most delicious food we ate in a month in Sri Lanka. We got a good value car organised when we needed it, for Colombo Fort. Rooms are spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Big bed, four-poster, with mosquito net. Lovely veranda in our ground floor room. Pool is beautiful. Lots of frangipani trees. The owner and staff were kind, helpful and laid back while giving us everything we needed, and more. Idyllic. We will highly recommend to friends travelling to Sri Lanka.

Eleanor United Kingdom

very relaxing ambience; nice pool; trees/ birds/ animals; you don’t want to leave

Agata Poland

This was our first stop in Sri Lanka and one of our favourite places. The staff and owner were really lovely warm ad welcoming and we felt immediately at home. The pool was spotless and the whole place was really well maintained. The food was delicious and the kids loved the Italian food. We loved meeting the resident turtle (large terrapin)who even joined us briefly for a quick swim in the pool much to the amusement of the kids!

Helen United Kingdom

We stayed in one of the apartments which was quite spacious and good value at the prevailing rate. The pool was quite nice.

Shehan Sri Lanka

At Villa Araliya we are conscious of our responsibility to the environment, our employees and the local community. We have considered many aspects of our operations to ensure that we embrace sustainable tourism, reduce our carbon footprint and ensure that our guests are staying in a safe, non-toxic and energy-efficient accommodation. OUR ANIMALS Sri Lanka is home to millions of roaming dogs and cats. Most of them are living on the streets and that’s why they face many perils in their daily life. Some are natural dangers, others are caused by humans. We invision a Sri Lanka free from animal suffering. That’s why we try to take our part and help as much as we can. We adopt stray dogs and give them a new home. Villa Araliya is home to a few dogs and cats. We love our animals and we hope you do so too. All our dogs and cats are vaccinated.
As we think everyone should deserve a change to do what they like and what they are good in, even if you haven't had an education in that sector. You should enjoy what you are doing and that is how most of our staff came to work for us. They enjoy their work, which you can see through their hospitality.
The hotel is situated in a quite area but only 2 min walk away from the beach and nearby the main street with all the shops and restaurants.
