A unique place, one of a kind. The food was delicious. The views and empty beach are something worth experiencing in this place. Very nice people. If you're in the area, be sure to make a reservation.

We enjoyed our stay at Kingfish villa in the month of March 2025. It was a very pleasant time. An optimal location to relax and experience the beautiful beach of Ranna at a distance of ca. 300 m. The owner Raveen is also an amazing person. He is very helpful and knows around Ranna, southern locations of SL and even other locations at wish. Also, there is the possibility to have him as a tour guide. He owns a restaurant as well where the food is exquisite. One can choose a variety of local foods and drinks too. Overall, remarkably good experience.

Our three days at fishermen’s lodge were super special, we felt so welcome and included in their family. The food in the restaurant was really amazing, the host is a great cook, we loved especially her rice and curry and the grilled fish. The traditional breakfast was also really good! The room was really simple, but still very clean and the host was always ready to help us in any way. You just walk a few steps to the beautiful beach which is nearly empty! In the morning the host took us fishing one time, which was the most special and fun experience! Overall we really recommend coming here for an authentic and local experience with extraordinary people! Thank you for everything! We might come back one time :)

Everything, from the hospitality of the staff, the amazing view, the relaxedness and quietness of the place, the great food (with super fresh - live cooked seafood and lobsters). I highly recommend this place for an overnight stay or for a longer holiday

An amazing resort to relax by the lagoon of Rekawa, very near to Tangalle with huge and stunning rooms, incredible clean and with all amenities needed. A stunning swimming pool where you can chill out having a drink and observing the wild animals around such as squirrels, 2 kinds of monitor lizards, hundreds of birds,beautiful snakes,colorful parrots, monkeys and many others! The resort itself is in a virgin environment area by a protected lagoon in which there are fishes, lobsters,prawns and crabs incredibly delicious and tasty BUT most of all the most important is the people running the hotel. LALITH (or Lala) and his family, who is the one that manages and supervises the place, is a shining STAR and great Host i 've ever met ! He's the one that covers all clients' desires at once without any hesitation and always with a big smile! Great value for money! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Wonderful location at an almost secluded beach. The beach is one of the best we ever been to. We had a great and relaxing time and would always come back. Breakfast was very good with a nice selection.

I recently stayed at Igabara Hobbit House Rakawa, and it was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. The place is truly special — surrounded by nature, filled with greenery, and designed with a lot of creativity and care. The atmosphere is peaceful, making it a perfect escape from the busy city life. The room was very clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated in a unique hobbit-style design that makes you feel like you’re in a little hidden paradise. The garden area and pool are well maintained, and it’s such a nice spot to relax, read a book, or enjoy a quiet evening. The staff were extremely kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything needed. They made sure everything was comfortable during my stay. The location is also great — just a few minutes away from the beach, so you can enjoy both nature and the sea. Overall, it was an unforgettable stay. I would definitely recommend Igabara Hobbit House Rakawa to anyone who loves peaceful surroundings, friendly service, and a relaxing atmosphere. I’ll surely visit again! 🌺✨

We absolutely loved everything about this stay! Everything was tastfully decorated and the property is in general very well maintained. Gorgeous view of the ocean, pretty much a private beach and nice pool. But what made our last days of our honeymoon extra special was the exceptional service by the wonderful staff. We loved the combination of informality (always open for a chat and a joke) and their on-point service and eye for detail (remembering how you drink your coffee, allergies etc). They even surprised us with a romantic dinner at the beach front, surrounded by torches and flowers and decorated our room (again) while we were dining! Lakshan is a true towel artist!! Special thanks to Mithuu, Lakshan and Kamal for the exceptional service and making our last days extra special. Would recommend to everyone!!
