Sundara by Mosvold, hotel in Balapitiya

Set in Balapitiya, 1.3 km from Balapitiya Beach, Sundara by Mosvold offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

We loved everything: the rooms were large and with beautiful design, everything super clean; very confortable bed. At one point we were the only guests (our group) since it is a small resort. The pool is amazing, food was perfect. It s best to preorder, so you don t wait. Try Tomato and Orange soup, my favorite, also shrimps, pasta, lamb.. they have a very good Chef. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The nearby Balapytia beach was so beautiful, we saw a wonderful sunset from the rocks. It was splendid to relax here after visiting the island. It was one if the 2 best hotels we stayed in Sri Lanka. Only 5 km to River Madu boat tour. 30-40 min to Hikkaduwa to see turtles.

Calamansi Cove Villas, hotel in Balapitiya

Offering an outdoor pool and a restaurant, Calamansi Cove By Jetwing is located in Balapitiya. Free WiFi access is available and rooms feature air conditioning and a patio.

The whole hotel is gorgeous. The beach is perfect for swimming, very clean with gorgeous views and is so private (not packed with hundreds of other tourists). You can walk to the rocks on the corner for great snorkeling and to explore the huge other beach on the other side. In the evening (5pm) all the local fishermen turn up to take their boats out as the sun sets and its like a free show every day as the boats are beautiful and the locals are all very friendly. The rooms are all huge with private garden seating areas with overhead fans and your own coffee machine. The food and drinks were all very reasonably priced and often enjoyed having a beer brought to me on the beach as the sun set. The staff were all so lovely and friendly and attentive, even showing me monkeys that had come to visit the hotel one day. Loads of wildlife to see at the hotel to keep you entertained and the food was all delicious. Took a tuk tuk from the hotel one day down to Hikkaduwa Turtle Beach to go Scuba Diving (about 20-30 mins drive with great views along the way). The busy beach there made me grateful to return to the hotels quiet one. A private piece of paradise

Ocean Caves, Balapitiya, hotel in Balapitiya

Located in Balapitiya, close to Ambalangoda Beach, Ocean Caves, Balapitiya provides accommodation with private beach area, bike hire, water sports facilities, pool with a view and a garden.

Felt at home straight away. Dinitha, the manager, couldn’t have been more accommodating. The food, cooked by Neel, was wonderful, fresh and tasty. Nothing was too much trouble. The pool was nice and only a short walk to a beautiful beach. Some of the neighbours were a little annoying for a solo traveller but I felt very safe and cared for by Dinitha and Kevin.

Raja Beach Hotel, hotel in Balapitiya

Raja Beach Hotel is located in Balapitiya. The Balapitiya Beach is 1.7 km and the property features a direct access to the beach. The fan-cooled rooms have private bathrooms that come with a shower.

The location of the property was perfect, just set back from an uncrowded beach at the edge of the non touristy town of Balapityia. I stayed in the garden bungalow which had had a recent addition of a veranda , making a perfect shady spot to chill and read. The staff made the ‘property ‘ though. All so caring . I was ill whilst there and they took me to the Doctors and then cooked food that I was able to eat and checked on me through the days - I was so well looked after.

Sweet Pea Homestay, hotel in Balapitiya

Set just 2.2 km from Balapitiya Beach, Sweet Pea Homestay offers accommodation in Balapitiya with access to a private beach area, pool with a view, as well as a 24-hour front desk.

Staying with Piumi and her family was the most heart warming and beautiful way to end my trip in Sri Lanka. The whole family is very kind and opened their home and shared part of their customs traditions with me as well as served amazing breakfast and dinner always. Best food I have eaten in all of Sri Lanka honestly! Piumi helped me plan and organize to see the turtle conservation, herb garden as well as took me to an Ayurvedic massage! The beach is just a short walk away and it is the most beautiful beach from the whole coast in my opinion. Untouched and pure nature with no people and beautiful sunsets.

    Great beach, we felt like Robinson Crusoe on the beach,...

    Great beach, we felt like Robinson Crusoe on the beach, almost just the 2 of us. Visiting Mahdu Lake at 6 a.m. watching the sun goes up. A natural paradise with a lot of birds and other animals. Listening to their different noises. Dining at the Mangrove Cave Restaurant we enjoyed freshest seafood. It was just very tasty.

    Everything! From the very beginning - the reception area, the hotels territory look amazing, all green and natural, clean and comfortable at the same time. The staff is performing at its best - always ready to help, providing information and making sure my stay is comfortable. The room meets all the requirements, clean, all is working properly, the furniture is very good and of course the view. And kayaking is just an awesome activity, I saw true Sri Lankan life while kayaking on the Madu Ganga river.

    Everything. It was the best experience we could imagine. A very beautifully furnished villa with a stunning view to wake up to every morning, a paradise of privacy with an empty amazing beach next to you, what could be better? We really enjoyed the wonderful meals for breakfast, lunch and especially dinner each day. Sri Lankan food dinners experience was unforgettable! Don’t hesitate to ask for anything you want and you will get much more that exceed your expectations!

    It was just perfect! The villa and the environment is wonderful! Even nicer than on the picture! The family took care of every which we had and were super friendly! We recommend this place to everyone! Its much more nicer than the hotels on the beach, and very easy to reach by public Transport and TukTuk for the last meters. It was the nicest accommodation we had on our 3.5 week Sri Lanka trip and a perfect place to finish it :-)

    My son and daughter-in-law booked the Kumu Beach hotel for their wedding. What a fabulous day. Being quite a small hotel family members and best friends stayed in the hotel and others stayed near by. The size of the hotel made it an intimate gathering but the staff were excellent in their welcome of all guests over the two day period. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The facilities were lovely, comfortable, clean etc.

    We visited at the end of our 2 week stay in Sri Lanka and it was easily the nicest hotel we've been to. The place felt like a little oasis with amazing views over the river, we spent a couple hours in the infinity pool watching eagles hunt there. Jeewana was a great host. He gave us a lot of tips of what to see in the area and even drove us to a sea turtle sanctuary. Fantastic stay, would definitely come back!

    Villa Carla is a gem. The hotel is right in front of the beach and has only a few rooms, each It’s beautifully decorated by the owners. The staff is great, always super helpful and very discreet. The beach in front of the hotel is one of the best we’ve seen in Sri Lanka! We only stayed at Villa Carla for three days. This is a place where to spend and relax for at least a week! We hope to Come back soon!

    A bit of a hidden gem between Galle and Colombo. Quiet hotel with a beautiful garden of mature trees next to a very wild beach. The family are very welcoming and make an excellent rice and curry. There's a very interesting boat tour they can organise for you plus a few beach restaurants further down the shoreline. Would thoroughly recommend for anyone wanting a bit of peace and relaxation.

    Excellent secluded paradise! Small place (8 rooms only), empty beach with no neighbors - just the Sun, Sea and relax. Great hospitality of Hassan and the Team. Food and cocktails are good (add $50-60 per 2 persons per day). We stayed in Garden Villa - and it was good choice as it has own small garden. Transfer to/from Colombo airport is 2 hours ($125 each way) and very comfortable.

    With a stunning view, this property took my expectations to a new level! Located in a quiet area beside the lake, I enjoyed the peaceful and quiet surroundings! Modern but not landscape changing the Hotel is placed in the hill by the lake. Staff and owners are always there for you to help if anything is needed! Thx to all of them! 🙏🏻 At my next stay, I definitely will come again!

    From check-in to check-out this property excelled as far as level of service expected from a boutique hotel! The quality of the food and beverage were terrific (albeit marginally limited). The infinity pool, beach, and sunsets a constant reminder of the chances to relax on offer not just at the property but also in the nation of Sri Lanka.

    The villa is beautiful, situated along a stunning beach in Balapitiya. The area is quiet but there are a few restaurants nearby and it is a short tuk tuk ride to Hikkaduwa. The staff at the villa were excellent and extremely accommodating and welcoming.
