We had a truly lovely stay at Nomads Hideaway. The villa is peaceful, beautifully designed, and surrounded by greenery, giving it a calm, tucked-away feeling. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care went into creating this space—from the natural materials to the cozy layout and relaxing garden nook. The hosts were kind, welcoming, and available when needed, which made everything feel easy and relaxed. Although it’s just a short distance from Matara and the beach, the villa feels like a quiet sanctuary—ideal for resting, reading, or simply being present. We only stayed for two nights but felt deeply nourished by the experience. We’d happily return for a longer stay next time. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and soulful place to recharge.

We had a really great time at Madiha Venus! The breakfast was pretty good. The location is close the beachfront and restaurants. The room was amazing: very clean, spacious, cozy and stylish with interesting details like carved doors and shutters. We really appreciate hospitality and desire to make our stay excellent. The owner and his wife were very friendly, helpful and attentive. Wish you to maintain the high level of service you have! I can definitely recommend this accommodation!
