I stayed with my friend in this fabulous property with direct access to the beach. It seemed like being in a private paradise. In fact, in addition to the super cozy room, with hot water, air conditioning and super clean, they had access to the outdoor area equipped with deck chairs and a hammock surrounded by greenery and peace. The owner, the boy and the lady who worked there were super nice and friendly, always available for our every need. Even their dog Rocco, stayed with us all night to keep us company while we enjoyed the sound of the waves. It was one of the best moments spent in Sri Lanka.

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 :)

We had our best stay so far at the Lagoon Gate Resort! We were warmly welcomed with some refreshing juice and cold towels and we had a tremendously spacious, well equipped and perfectly clean room. We really enjoyed the pool area and could even rent kayaks for free for a tour at the lagoon. The breakfast was delicious and we also booked a really good massage directly at the accommodation. Would definitely come back next time!

Staff is really attentive and helpful. This makes for a really stress free vacation as we did not have to worry about a thing. Food was delicious and always prepared fresh. Beach was as epic as it gets, long and wide sandy strip. Pool was well taken care of and loungers were plenty to be found in shade and in sun. Rooms, although simple, were comfortable and cleaned daily. Location is good, quiet and relaxing.

Where do I start? From the second we arrived our host was there to help in every shape or form. Such an amazing family run accommodation,this once in a lifetime experience. We instantly extended our stay. Our Hobbit house was just fantastic in every way. Everything you need is inside. The bed!!!!! You could fit a small village on the bed 🤣. The bathroom was incredible, everything was supplied including, quality shampoos, conditioners, shower gels, lotions, hairdryer. By far the best accommodation we have stayed in on our 3 week journey of Sri Lanka. Our host even organised an early morning Kayak on the lake which is a 2 minute walk, which was less that 10euro for as long as you want. He also suggested the turtle sanctuary which is an easy walk to the beach. There we saw newly hatched turtles running into the sea, followed by numerous turtles laying there eggs, on a guided and strict tour. Overall PLEASE BOOK Igabara hobbit house, you definitely won't be disappointed xx
