Lovely quiet beach. Eat at Tree Tops (worth the climb) and see monkeys during the day and fruit bats in the evening. Funny Banana dies fabulous good too - go for the village breakfast and the grilled prawns!

Talalla is a hidden gem with a long stretch of beach with crystal clear blue water. Both ends of the beach are hills with tall coconut trees and green vegetation. It is a mellow and quiet place to relax.

Oh where should I start! The location is impeccable. As soon as you walk in, you see and hear the gorgeous Sri Lankan ocean waves. The untouched and simple shores of Talalla beach are practically a part of the hotel. It's the perfect setting to get back to nature and yourself. Serene, calm, peaceful. Plus there's things to do around the area too if you want to do a bit of wandering and sightseeing. The staff is 10/10 at all times. Dillion and Hesh, this husband wife duo that manage the property are some of the most interesting people we've met and take such pride in managing the place. They truly treated us like friends, not guests. They've also trained the rest of the team to be completely tuned to your needs. You won't have to ask for anything twice. And everyone in the team is happy and have big smiles on their faces! The service from start to end was great, we weren't left wanting for anything. The rooms are very well designed. They're simple and comfortable and very spacious. They have everything you need. And only 4 rooms on the property so you get a chance to get to know the other guests as well! The food is also 10/10. Delicious no matter what you order! There are two chefs, both excellent. I'm vegan and my husband vegetarian, and they made us great food everyday of our stay. We found everything we ate to be made with the most organic ingredients and with so much love. One of the days, it was raining like crazy and we had a craving for Maggi, and they kindly whipped us up some delicious noodles even though they weren't on the menu! Overall the whole trip was more than what we expected. I'd recommend the place for any kind of holiday. We're already planning our next one back!

Talalla in July was lovely, weather-wise - but not a lot of beach as the tides are quite high during July/August. Surf was also a bit rough for swimming at this time, however nearby Hiriketiya was much safer for swimming and surfing - and a very pretty little bay as well. In Dikwella/Hiriketiya there are some very cool little cafes like Mond (just opened, very cool architecture) and Verse (tasty food and cool vibe). We also had fantastic massages at Amor Wellness in Dikwella - beautiful, tranquil space and fantastic staff (Laki, the ‘host’, was super friendly and welcoming). All of this is a 10min tuk tuk ride from Talalla.
