This place has an amazing location—right in front of a gorgeous, quiet beach with hardly anyone around, but tons of restaurants nearby. You’re literally steps from the sea, it doesn’t get better than that. Saman, the host, is super helpful and always ready to lend a hand. The breakfast is amazing.

We cannot enough stress how much we loved staying with at this hotel. Indika is a fantastic host, he cooks the best fish, and really makes you feel at home. The location is amazing and the whole family loved it. It is 4 inutes from a turtle farm, 4 minutes from elephant riding and 20 min from Galle and really fun surfing. It is really REALLY good value from money. Would def go back next time I come to Sri Lanka,

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.
