We had an amazing time during our first trip to Sri Lanka staying at Villa Vianna. The house is just a few meters from the beach, surrounded by palm trees,it's very clean and comfortable and we loved its intimate and cozy vibes. Our host, Lacha was wonderful, so hospitable and always very attentive and helpful. At the diving center nearby, Ocean + we had everyday free sunbeds.We also booked a snorkeling trip provided by them that was a great experience. We higly recommend staying at Villa Vianna and when we come back to Sri Lanka for sure we would love to stay here again.

We can't thank the staff here enough, very welcoming and accommodating. The lodges are set in a beautiful garden, the verandas outside the room are perfect to chill and enjoy the wildlife! The beach is a 2 minute walk down the path, with plenty of restaurants and bars, there is also an atm and small supermarkets on the main road (also a very short walk away). Would come back in an instant.

Woody cabana is such a cute place to stay, all the wooden features make it feel so authentic. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed. In my opinion the nearby restaurants and shops near Uppuveli beach were a lot better than Trincomalee centre so it was a perfect location and a short walk to these restaurants and a beautiful beach. The hosts are a very sweet couple who go above and beyond for you. Whenever we had a problem or a request they went above and beyond like we were part of their family. It was also quiet so slept well. There is a lovely terrace on the top floor to relax. Definitely recommend!

I had a wonderful stay at this accommodation! The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was perfect — close to everything I needed, yet peaceful and quiet at night. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, making sure I had everything I needed throughout my stay. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the fresh towels and local recommendations. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay!
