Indika was a great host. Very accommodating and helpful with suggestions and timing of ventures especially with it being off season. We had the family room which felt like our own house. Two lofts and a main area and lots of bed space for the family. We wished we stayed longer here. The view and the sound of the waves made for the most peaceful sleep.

A beautiful place to relax and unwind! Oruva Beach Side Villa is located slightly outside the city – far from the hustle and bustle – making it the perfect retreat for peace and quiet. The staff was incredibly attentive yet always discreet. Breakfast was generous, with delicious Sri Lankan options, and the dinner menu was equally impressive. The beach is just a short walk away and offers stunning views, especially at sunset. The option to have a private pool was the cherry on top. With a tuk tuk, you can reach Hikkaduwa in about 10 minutes. Overall, a wonderful stay – we’d love to come back!

    The first place we stayed during our trip so it was a good place to recover from jet lag as we didn't plan to do much. The accommodation was right on the beach & was lovely to just step right out onto the sand. The south coast has some strong waves so just be careful when going for a dip! Nice backpacker hostel along the beach that served drinks with a sunset view. Had a few places to eat & fairly priced too.

    Amazing little homestay located right on the beach.you can access the private beach, but it's not good to swim. The room was air conditioning and clean. The host welcomed and cared for us as their own relatives. The meals were amazing and super delicious. She prepared us crabs and a large fish, which made it fresh. The owner brought us to very nice spots in Galle city area, including a boat safari.. It was wonderful .. Thank-you Darshi for everything.. you made our day with lots of fun.
