Our experience at this property was nothing short of incredible. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and cared for, as though we were guests in a home filled with warmth and charm. This place is unlike any other—a true oasis where you can completely immerse yourself in the vacation spirit. Every detail has been so thoughtfully designed and curated, creating an environment that is both stylish and comfortable. The house has a distinct and beautiful design that blends effortlessly with the natural surroundings, giving it a unique character that made our stay unforgettable. The pool is undoubtedly the cherry on top. After a day exploring the area or even just lounging around, it was the perfect place to unwind, cool off, and enjoy some quiet moments. You could easily spend the entire day here, relaxing and taking in the serene atmosphere. The location is also excellent—just a stone's throw away from Galle Fort and within a very short distance of the beach, offering the best of both worlds. Whether you’re looking to explore the historic sights, soak in the vibrant local culture, or simply relax by the sea, everything is conveniently close. Our stay exceeded all expectations. The level of care and attention from the staff was impeccable—they were well-trained, friendly, and attentive to our every need. It’s evident that they take pride in making every guest feel at home, and it truly elevated our experience. On top of all this, the accommodations themselves were outstanding. The rooms were spotless and beautifully furnished, creating a space that was both elegant and inviting. This wasn’t just a stay; it was an experience that made us feel completely rejuvenated. This is by far the best accommodation we’ve had in all our travels across Asia. I recommend this property to anyone planning a visit to Galle, you won’t regret it. And as for us, this has become a must-visit destination, and we’ll definitely be returning whenever we’re back in Galle.

From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this boutique hotel is something truly special. The owner is a master of hospitality, ensuring that every detail is thoughtfully curated for an exceptional experience. The service was impeccable, with warm and attentive staff who made us feel at home from day one. The facilities were outstanding—beautifully designed, perfectly maintained, and offering everything needed for a relaxing and luxurious stay. But what truly sets this place apart is the personal touch. Every interaction felt genuine, and the level of care and attention to detail was beyond compare. This was more than just a vacation, it was an unforgettable experience. I felt completely at home, yet wonderfully transported into a world of comfort and beauty. Highly, highly recommended!

This hotel is, with no doubt, the best hotel in Hikkaduwa (and probably in Sri Lanka) The location is perfect, the rooms are amazing (well organised, incredible views, all the amenities you can need, soft towels, good coffee and tea…), the breakfast is the best one we have had in Sri Lanka (awesome!!!), the pool is fantastic and the staff is the best that the hotel keeps…thanks to Franzi for all the recommendations, attentions and care ❤️). We really didn’t want to come back home 🥹. The relation quality-price can’t be better and I do not understand yet why the hotel just keeps 5 stars! Should be at least 6! Really, the best place in Sri Lanka for relaxing, surfing or enjoying the sun. We will be back as soon as we can Thanks!!!

The room was wonderfully furnished with a beautiful bathroom with hot water. Amazing price due to it being Low Season. Right on the Beachfront and the restaurant food was really good. The bed was super comfortable which earns a big tick from me. Close to all manner of shops and restaurants and ATMs. Staff were wonderful and happy to assist with all my needs. Room was very clean. Tea kettle and cups and glasses supplied.

Remarkable location right on the beach/seafront. Our room is Beachfront Cabanas where we fall asleep & wake up to sound of roaring seas! Short walk to bay with swimming turtles near Frog Rock! Wonderful breakfast at terrace of our Cabanas just next to the sea!

Perfect location right on the beach! The rooms are beautiful and spacious, all ocean facing. The AC and fan made it pleasant to stay during this hot season. Breakfast was delicious 😋 I enjoyed the omelet and pancakes. It's a great location as it's on the main road and very easy to reach several places. Galle and Weligama are just minutes away. So may attractions all within the area. Very easy to use public transport right outside.

We absolutely loved the location. Right on the beachfront and central of the small town with lots of restaurants and shops. Kevin in particular was an absolute star, went above and beyond - cobstantly smiling, welcoming and all the staff couldn't do enough for us. Kiki was our favourite furry friend. The free shuttle to use the pool at the sister Hotel was really great and an added bonus. Would definitely recommend staying here.

The first place we stayed during our trip so it was a good place to recover from jet lag as we didn't plan to do much. The accommodation was right on the beach & was lovely to just step right out onto the sand. The south coast has some strong waves so just be careful when going for a dip! Nice backpacker hostel along the beach that served drinks with a sunset view. Had a few places to eat & fairly priced too.

Many thanks to John and his team for the great time we spent at Josan Villa. Our room on the upper floor was huge with a great view. The food was great and the team even organized a private sunset dinner for us right on the beach. At the same time, we were taken care of in a touching way. Josan's team organized the repair of our cell phone, booked taxi rides and organized tuktuk trips. The time in Josan's villa was simply great!
