Silverlane Beach House, hotel in Matara

Located on the beachfront in Matara, Silverlane Beach House features a self-catering villa with free WiFi access and its own private pool. Sea, garden and pool views can be enjoyed.

My family and I recently booked this house to celebrate a milestone birthday as well as our twenty-year wedding anniversary that both occurred within days of each other. We stayed exactly a week with our three kids. I cannot describe our experience as anything other than AMAZING! The pool is in good shape and can be enjoyed with a view of the ocean complete with waves crashing against the costal rocks. There are plenty of places to relax around the pool and a nicely shaded patio to take a break from the sun or get out of the rain. The house is walled on all four sides for privacy, but the ocean view is completely unobstructed because the house (and pool) sits on a hill high above the back fence. The house staff was a major highlight of our experience, and I cannot possibly fully express my gratitude for the staff here. There was someone available 24/7 yet our privacy always felt completely respected and intact. Breakfast was included in the price of the rental and consisted of the perfect combination of local produce and cuisine which was prepared and served alongside with anything that we requested. Lunch and dinner were also prepared by the staff, we only paid for the groceries. Each day they asked what we would like for lunch/dinner and then they shopped for fresh produce, seafood/meats, and alcohol and then prepare the meals. Last but far from least, a VERY special thank you to the chef and head of staff (and now friend), Upendra. He helped us with everything from food, to getting us to-and-from the airport, to planning several day trips where we traveled around the country touring temples, lakes, mountains, sea turtle sanctuaries, safaris, and a scenic train ride to name a few. Upendra easily made this trip the most memorable we’ve ever had. In all honestly, I can say that I would plan a vacation solely around his location and availability.

Breeze Blows- Solitude Holiday Home, hotel in Matara

Set in Matara, Breeze Blows- Solitude Holiday Home is a recently renovated accommodation, 1.3 km from Polhena Beach and 1.8 km from Madiha Beach.

An excellent house with all the necessary amenities. The house has two separate rooms, each equipped with an air conditioner. Additionally, there are two fans available if you need them in the middle room or the kitchen. The house is very basic, but for this price, you get air conditioners and excellent hot water. And with such a wonderful owner, the experience is incredibly pleasant. Around 15-20min by foot from Polhena beach.

Saltasia Boutique Beach Villa, hotel in Matara

Featuring a balcony with garden views, an infinity pool and an open-air bath, Saltasia Boutique Beach Villa can be found in Mirissa, close to Thalaramba Beach and less than 1 km from Mirissa Beach.

The rooms, of which there are only four, are well-appointed, clean and very comfortable. The staff are friendly and very welcoming. The breakfast was delicious. The view from the garden area is stunning, wide ocean view with waves constantly rolling in. The beach is small and very rocky, almost like a coral reef. You can walk along it, and it is beautiful and full of wildlife (we saw Turtles swimming!). I think the pool is a sea water pool and is in a shaded area of the grounds, making it perfect to cool off. The resort has the vibe of an old colonial house and is extremely comfortable.

    The villa and pool is gorgeous, with stunning views of the ocean. The beds, rooms and kitchen were well stocked with good bedding and kitchen supplies. The caretaker was very helpful with meeting us and showing us where everything was and how to use all the facilities. The restaurants are not close by, but it is a very quick drive or a 15min walk away and not as busy as the surfer town of Hiriketiya.

    The room was comfortable and very pleasant. We were just a few metres (4?) from the beach and our window looked out to sea. The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning very effective. The food was great too. The beach was quiet and pleasant. It was the nicest place we’ve stayed at this price point in Sri Lanka. The manager was so helpful and welcoming, he really cared. Good birding not far from the villa. Highly recommended.

    Amazing private hotel, cozy, nice pool, great location facing the beach. The villas are well located so that there is privacy for all guests. The beach is great for surfing and swimming, clean sand, not many people. Myriam and Jean made sure that our stay was enjoyable and Axel helped us ride our first waves. Lobster dinner was the best
