Everything is perfect about this property! Everything is super clean, view is breathtaking, the owner is always ready to help you with every single question. You can have very delicious breakfast or italian dinner on the rooftop. From very first second you feeel like home. Sri lanka could be intense and busy in some places, so location was perfect, because you are close to everything, but also have quiet village life with empty and clean beaches. But 2km drive and you reach the main surf beach with all surf schools. Best experience for sure!❤️

New hotel just infront of the bay. Room was amazing and very cleaned and spacious, we were on the third fllor and could see entire waligama bay from our room. There is a nice roof top as well to see the sunset. Very friendly staff and they are helping for everything. Delicious breakfast. We definitely come back again. Highly recommended.

It was simply precious. Private , secluded area. The owners picked us up with a jeep, organized a jungle tour for us and gave us a ride as well. The family is incredibly hard working and polite, they try their best to accommodate our wishes. The food is amazing. No AC but it wasn't necessary as it was pretty cool at night.

We loved our stay at LakRaj! We were there with a 1 year old and the corner, sea view room was perfect for us. The staff was exceptional, helping us out whenever we needed and even watched our baby sometimes while we ate breakfast :) The cleaning crew also did a great job. We actually had to extend our stay one day, since we enjoyed it that much. There’s plenty restaurants within walking distance, and you can even walk to a grocery store that’s about 15 min away. There’s also lots of eager tuk tuk drivers that will happily drive you. Highly recommend going for a swim with giant sea turtles that’s just past Dr. House (also a great venue for food and drinks).

The hotel is located in most beautiful place we've visited in Sri Lanka! Two beautiful beaches and a very nice territory (the pool, big chess, ping pong, the bar area and and nice walking paths). The staff is lovely, they were always there for us and made us feel like home. Good choices for breakfast and dinner, our kids are picky eaters but always found something to eat and the ice cream in the dinner buffet was always a hit. The room is really spacious, clean and beautiful and the sea view was fantastic. Would love to visit again!

Located at the most beautiful beach in the Dickwella area, which is only a short walk away from all the beautiful cafés and restaurants in Hiriketiya. But the beach near the hotel is much better with sun decks and more laid back vibe. The owner Manori is sweetest and always smiling while attending all the guests patiently. The photos don’t do justice to the view from the room. While our room had side sea view it was still clear enough.

We had a perfect stay! The room was very clean and cozy. The pool was just perfect after a long hike in the rainforest. The staff also organized our rainforest tour, which was such a nice experience. Good food and you can watch monkeys right from the terrace. I really can recommend to stay at this hotel and also wandering around the beautiful surrounding area.

Mirissa in my opinion has a completely different vibe to the other beach areas I stayed at being Hiriketiyah and Unawatuna. While it does have attractions like Coconut Hill, it lacks the intimacy, character and ambience of the above mentioned beach areas and for that reason I would advise a shorter stay to experience Mirissa. One night was adequate for me.

Weligama is a truly charming coastal town that offers the perfect balance of natural beauty, relaxation, and local culture. The famous Weligama beach with its golden sands and gentle waves is ideal for swimming, surfing, and long peaceful walks, especially during sunset. The area has a calm and welcoming atmosphere, with friendly locals, excellent seafood, and a variety of cafes and restaurants to enjoy. Whether you are looking for adventure, wellness, or simply a quiet escape, Weligama provides a refreshing and memorable experience. Its scenic surroundings, lush greenery, and warm hospitality make Weligama a must-visit destination for anyone travelling to Sri Lanka.

Matara isn't a big town so it is relatively quick to get from A to B. The beach is beautiful. But there aren't that many restaurants in in the town. The Matara Rest House near the fort had good food and drinks and is one of the most worth it dining options nearby. Lemon is also a good option. There are restaurants closer to the touristy spots but those are on the pricier side. snorkeling with turtles is popular in Matara.

Hiriketiya Beach is a small, horseshoe-shaped bay with beautiful clear water, gentle rolling waves and scenic palm-fringed views. It’s known for its laid-back, beach-town feel — perfect for surf, chill days on the sand, and casual hangouts. It’s popular with surfers (beginners & intermediates) — especially during the dry season (Nov–Apr) when the waves are consistent and easier to ride. Outside of surf culture, many visitors simply relax, swim, or enjoy the scenery. Good for: Surfing Chill in beach Small cafés any kind of food, yoga, and relaxing stays Sunset views

Talalla beach is clean and not crowded like many on the South coast of Sri Lanka. Relax all day under the sun and take a dip in to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Not really a surfing beach but the right hand end in front of Talalla Retreat is safe for swimming. Friendly locals and a small supermarket nearby. Ate at all the local restaurants - they were all excellent, especially Manju Cinnamon Hut.

The hotel management are not good to deal with and I would not recommend this place at all. It looks pretty on the outside but full of problems and poor design, unsafe and unhygienic aspects that are a major concern. Hiring hot water shower that has no safety option even when it is not on high hot water setting, it can burn. The deluxe room we were offered has no windows at all and a dingy hole with no natural light or ventilation but advertised as having an outdoor dining room. It is falsely advertised to mislead people an we refused to stay in the room and had a mattress in the sea view room for which they charged us half the room rate when we didn’t even have a ton, just a mattress an they failed to even provide a towel. Their service is horrendous - stay away from this place and don’t be misled by the pretty photos like we’re. Even beach there not safe to swim and too far from Mirissa main beach so there is really nothing going for this place except the superficial looks.
