No gym or spa…yet!

Food and service was the best we had in Sri Lanka. The staff were amazing to us - we would love to go back.

The villa was amazing overall. The highlight was definitely the food.

it wasn't the right season for swimming in the ocean but it doesn't concern villa, so nothing

The villa itself and the design of it is outrageous. We enjoyed every piece of it: a modern suite, clean swimming pool, well-conditioned garden. The staff was great, they were really polite and helpful, including the staff from the restaurant, who was nice as well. The suite was cleaned every day. It was never a problem to ask for a smth. I'd definitely recommend Villa Thamburu.

There were a limited amount of sunbeds and the bar closed quite early.

The hotel and design was absolutely beautiful, and the breakfasts were huge.

Limited menu

Amazing staff, perfect place to relax and switch off for a few days

My only small comment, more a suggestion, is to improve the quality of the mattress. I cannot say that was uncomfortable, but was the only item not aligned with the level of the rest. I don't consider this a negative point since was anyway a good quality one, but is just a small suggestion to align the quality wit the rest of the service.

Perfect place for a relaxing vacation. The design of the hotel is stunning, staff very friendly and helpful, spoiled us during all our stay. We enjoyed our time so much the time spent at Villa Thamburu and we thought to expend few more days but we had work duty and was not possible. The suite Pedro, our accommodation, was extremely comfortable and perfect for a romantic time! Food was good and hotel very clean. The public beach outside is beautiful but not suitable for swimming however we enjoyed our lazy chill in the hotel beach and pool.

If you like heading out in the evenings, there aren't many options that are walking distance. The hotel does offer a free tuk-tuk service to other establishments, so this wasn't an issue for us.

If you're looking for a hotel Sri Lanka for some rest and relaxation, Villa Thamburu is ideal! The location is great offering easy access to a lovely, quiet beach. The staff great too. All were incredibly polite, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile for us. The food was also a highlight. I can't imagine anywhere else in Bentota could match it. The hotel itself was beautiful too!

Shower pressure was not that strong- but a very small detail

Loved the location - very relaxing- food was good. Staff were very good and service excellent

While Villa Thamburu offers an idyllic retreat with its stunning scenery and exceptional amenities, an adults-only policy could enhance the tranquility and relaxation aspect of the experience.

Staying at Villa Thamburu was an absolute delight! From the delicious food, stunning beach, serene pool and garden, to the beautiful architecture and relaxed vibe - every aspect was perfect. The tuk-tuk service added a convenient touch, making our exploration of the surroundings effortless. It truly felt like a slice of paradise, where luxury meets the comfort of home.

Nothing negative at all.

Fabulous location right on the beach, property beautifully maintained staff highly attentive throughout our stay. Food was amazing, a good selection of wine and cocktails available for pre dinner drinks. Having lived in Sri Lanka for the last 13 years we have stayed in a lot of properties and hotels across the island but Villa Thamburu is certainly up there with the very best.

Absolutely everything We very rarely go back to the same property but we would make an exception here

Its a gorgeous hotel, with a tasteful interior, comfortable beds, delicious food and attentive staff. Villa is very quiet, rooms are soundproofed, which makes it feel like you are at a private resort at times.

None that we can think of.

From start to end you’re being taken care of the team, who want to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The Portuguese architect and builders excelled in design and quality, spacious rooms give the feeling of luxury. Dinners are an additional enrichment to your stay, with great tastes - for us it was a 10 of 10 in all categories.
