We had a wonderful stay! Comfortable and clean room. The owner is super nice and helpful with everything. Delicious and very filling breakfast. The location is right out to a beachbreak surfspot, and there is a surf rental right next to the hotel. We ordered dinner both days at the hotel and it was delicious. I can only recommend Ocean Breeze Villa!

I wholeheartedly recommend this amazing place. I am truly happy that it became our first home in Sri Lanka. I came with my children and initially booked the apartment for 5 days, but we ended up extending our stay for another 4 days simply because we didn’t want to leave. Dakshitha was in touch with me on WhatsApp even before our arrival — he answered all my questions and asked what we might need. Every day of our stay was exceptionally comfortable. His family lives on the property, and they are wonderful, kind people who surrounded us with genuine care. This is not just a room — it’s a full townhouse with a private entrance and two large, beautiful bedrooms. Each has everything you need: very comfortable beds, a desk, a mirror, a wardrobe, towels, and a private bathroom. The balcony deserves special mention — it has a beautiful view of the palm trees, and I loved meeting the sunrise and ending the day there, listening to the birds. You also get a fully equipped kitchen with all essentials: dishes, a fridge, a water dispenser — we cooked every day using the air fryer. And the rooftop… it became my favorite place. It’s completely private, spacious, and perfect for yoga at sunrise or under the stars. There is a drying rack upstairs, and the washing machine is on the lower level. An iron and ironing board are also provided. There are air conditioners in each bedroom. Cleaning was done regularly. Honestly, the comfort felt like a 5-star hotel. But the most important part is the host — his excellent English, kindness, and big heart truly make this place special. We are staying in Sri Lanka for a long time, but from now on, I will confidently recommend this place to everyone visiting. Let your love for Sri Lanka begin here :)

I can really recommend this hotel! It’s super new and really high-quality – you can tell a lot of thought went into the details. The architecture is amazing, with high ceilings and a great design that makes the space feel so welcoming. The bed was incredibly comfortable, I slept like a baby. The location is perfect, everything you need is just a short distance away. I also loved how easy it was to communicate via WhatsApp – super smooth and quick. The host was so friendly and attentive, you really feel at home. And the sense of security was great, I felt safe and taken care of the whole time.
