    Perfectly located a few minutes tuk tuk to the beach, bars and restaurants. Stunning property. We stayed in the larger villa which had a private secluded pool. The host was amazing and really made our stay special. Nothing was too much trouble for him at all. We stayed an extra night we loved it so much

    Our private butler Hashan was so kind and helpful. He really made our stay wonderful. Also the villa is quite luxurious and spacious. We really liked it, especially the outside shower in the middle of the jungle.

Perfect to relax and enjoy private time. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner in the villa and enjoyed the privacy and personal touch. Thank you Hashan and team for great work.

    We were informed that there is a mosquito problem, so I think if that is a well known problem it would be very easy to install mosquito nets over the bed. I suffered a lot of bites

    Amazing rooms with private pool, amazing host called Hashan. Really fantastic.

    We booked Nisala Villas to celebrate our last night of travels and it couldn’t have been more special. The villa was super cool and very comfortable. It was also complete spotless and had everything we needed. Hashan was so helpful, always there when we needed him but also respectful of our privacy. We wished we could have stayed longer.

    Nice cozy stay. Clean well kept villas. Pool was also clean and well maintained. Hashan was an excellent host and took good care of us, helped us with suggestions for places to visit and also arranged for transport for us to reach the main beach, which is a few kms away. Pros: Spacious Villa, excellent host, clean pool, comfortable bed and ACs that work well. Cons: Slightly far from the main market/beach but the team called for a tuk tuk when we needed it. Limited menu to order food - but whatever we ordered was tasty. Overall a good stay, made all the better with a good host. Hashan was very polite, courteous and helpful!

    Everything was above all expectations.

    The place, the area, the design, great breakfast and opportunity to order delicious dinner and stay in the middle of the jungle with private pool with no noise but birds and squirrels (which play on the fence, creating a nice safari like entertainment). Hashan and the whole team took the best care of us. Perfect place for a couple to spend time together.The beach is 7 minutes ride or 20 minutes walk, tuk-tuk is easy to get

    Hot water was lacking in the showers (both inside and outside)

    Hashan was amazing! He couldn’t have done more for us; organising Tuk tuk’s to the beach, restaurant recommendations, organising massages etc. He was our highlight of our stay at Nisala Villas. Pool is small but it’s warm and private. Food (breakfast) delivered to the room.

    Nisala villas is a brilliant place to relax and unwind in the Sri Lankan countryside, whilst still being on the doorstep of Hikkaduwa. The villa was just beautiful, with a spacious and modern design. The features such as the outdoor shower and private pool are fantastic. We really got the wow factor when we arrived! The room and area outside (patio, pool etc) were kept exceptionally clean throughout our stay, with lovely touches such as towel art! Having just the 3 villas on site allowed it to feel very private. The location is roughly a 20 minute walk away from Hikkaduwa down quiet roads. Hikkaduwa itself had plenty of restaurants and shops, as well as a beautiful beach, where we were able to spot turtles. Being slightly further out of town meant that the stay was incredibly peaceful, surrounded by lots of trees and wildlife. We saw peacocks, chipmunks, lizards and monkeys from our villa (none of which were bothersome in any way). We had breakfast at the villas each morning and opted for lunch and dinner on a couple of our days too. There was plenty of choice available, all delicious and prepared at the times that worked best for us. We were able to eat the meals outside our own villa overlooking the pool which was just lovely. There was also a mini bar, with fizzy drinks and beers for a very reasonable price. What makes this stay so so special is Hashan! He really is an asset to Nisala Villas. He is always available on WhatsApp to support with any questions or requests. He gave us so many recommendations, arranged a scooter for us to use and was just in general lovely to get to know during our 5 night stay. We didn’t speak too much with other members of staff, but everyone we did meet whilst staying was lovely too. I would highly recommend Nisala Villas and will be booking again when we return to Sri Lanka!

    The villa is stunning, located in the middle of the forest, it was one of the best experiences we had. A must visit if you are in Sri Lanka and want to escape the city. A special shout to Hishan! He was extremely responsive and always available with a smile. Hands down one of our best stays in Sri Lanka!

    Amazing!! We would stay longer if we just had time. Here is everything you need. Super comfortable bed, working ac, cozy cottage, outside shower and so on. And the POOL!! We loved it!! We got our own butler who took care of everything we needed. He arranged us delicious dinner from their own menu. Prices are actually very decent. I think this could be perfect for example to honey moon. 11/10! This is a GEM!

    amazing place, with incredibly friendly, attentive staff. The place is quiet, cozy with a clean pool. A place where you wake up to the singing of birds. A place where you want to return again and again. Thanks to the Sameera owner of the villa for the warm hospitality and special thanks to Hasham for service . We really liked everything. We recommend it with all our hearts

    Everything was good. The temperature of the water of the bath should be hotter.

    Beautiful villa. We spent 4 amazing days in the villa and everything was perfect. The place is absolutely beautiful and Hashan and all the staff are very kind. Breakfast (included) and dinner (to pay extra) were served in the villa at the time we wanted. A tuk tuk was always available for any time we needed. Also we could have a super massage in the villa for a very good price.

    The only thing I missed was having a sun lounger by the pool but I soon got over it.

    Have the Sri Lankan breakfast, it was very good. Really lovely place to stay away from the beach but just a 5min tuk tuk journey. Staff were so helpful but really discreet. I thoroughly enjoyed my break and would definitely recommend.

Great breakfast and coffee, the staff went above and beyond, couldn't do enough for you even went as far as helping us book onward accommodation, we have been to India and Thailand and I can honestly say we have never been treated as well anywhere else we have stayed, should of stayed here longer than 2 nights.
