Darshi, Oshi and their three kids who live on the property were the most amazing hosts. Darshi is a phenomenal cook. The food was out of this world!! If you asked for a particular dish, it was delivered! Sri Lankan hospitality at its best. We also learnt much about the local culture from Darshi and Oshi.

From the moment I arrived the staff did an amazing job, nothing was any trouble and always a smile.. add to this an amazing building and decor you have an amazing hotel. I made the mistake of booking a place in the fort for the social aspect that was more expensive and half as nice in every department, probably forgo the 3 nights in the new place and return to Taavetti, you won't regret booking i promise you.

We spent two nights at this lovely guest house and had an amazing experience. The location is perfect — right by the sea and in a very quiet area, far from the noise of the city, which made our stay even more relaxing. Direct access to the beach. The hosts were incredibly kind, helpful and attentive throughout our visit. They made us feel very welcome and at home. Breakfast was a real highlight: generous, varied and prepared with great care. Every morning we enjoyed a delicious and beautifully arranged meal — a perfect start to the day. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful seaside getaway with warm hospitality and excellent service. We would definitely come back!

This is a place for a great experience of being literally in front of the sea, chilling out with a drink while lingering on a confortable bean bag , watching amaizing sunset , having nice meals freshly prepared. If I 'll come back to Sri Lanka again I'll definetly come back to this place but having a private room this time, the dorm could be a bit uncomfortable since have not windows which make it quite hot and hummid.

Our stay at Oruva Beachside Boutique Villa was an unforgettable experience of luxury and tranquillity. Nestled in a breathtaking beachfront location, the villa offered serene family privacy, cutting-edge architecture, and top-tier facilities that left us in awe. The staff truly stand out as the heart of this exceptional property. Professional, courteous, friendly, and non-intrusive, they went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction from the moment we arrived until our departure. Their attentive care made us feel like royalty. Chef Anupa’s culinary expertise was extraordinary. Every meal was a masterpiece, blending creativity and flavour to deliver an experience akin to dining in a Michelin-starred restaurant. His personal touch made each dish unique and memorable. Gajendra, the general manager, brought elite professionalism and a wealth of experience from top hotel brands such as Hilton, Relais & Châteaux, and Intercontinental. His leadership was evident in every detail of our stay. Sajith and Chaminda, the guest service ambassadors, were exceptional in their hospitality, handling even our most complex requests with grace, efficiency, and genuine passion. What sets Oruva apart is its perfect harmony of contemporary luxury and traditional charm, which creates a serene and captivating ambience. We highly recommend this villa for its outstanding service, impeccable attention to detail, and ability to deliver a truly unique and memorable experience. If you’re seeking the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and charm by the beach, Oruva Beachside Boutique Villa is an unparalleled choice. Our only regret was that our stay was far too short—but one thing is certain: we’ll be back soon, and this time, for a much longer escape!

    Train Boossa then Tuk Tuk to guest house worked well. Right on the beach with a lovely sea breeze and sunsets from local bar. Lovely family run property. Saman was friendly and extremely helpful and we did a tour with him which we enjoyed a lot.

    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.

    The location is right on the beach. You can see dolphins swimming early in the morning (around 7: am). Beds are comfortable and you can hear the waves of the Ocean from your Cabana.
