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 :)

This is a fantastic small beachfront resort with amazing staff, great food and an awesome pool. There are beach cabanas available along with the usual beach chairs and umbrellas so lots of choice for lounging by the pool. Breakfast was a la carte, with five different options to choose from and all came with a generous amount of food, toast, croissants, juice, tea and coffee. We ate most meals here and were never disappointed! For sunset drinks and seafood dinner, try the Endlessblue Resort next door! You can even participate with the local fisherman catching fish in their nets each day!

If you’re travelling south coast, this is a MUST visit. Host was amazing, arranged everything we wanted. Great food (cooked by his mother), both dinner & breakfast. The place itself is also amazing, beautiful house with private garden and table. He also arranged our safari to Udawalawa, 2 days after our stay.

Everything especially the friendly stuff. Kamal, Lakmal, Miton and the chef Lasanta. They were extremely helpful and welcoming. We feel like we are at home. Secondly, the interior, the Villa building, design and furniture are outstanding. I like all details about it. Also, the view is amazing. Highly recommended for anyone. Perfect also for honeymooners.
