So close to the beach, just 5 minutes walking. The lady, so nice, prepares delicious breakfasts served directly at your room's outdoor table. They can arrange you laundry, tuktuk service. The courtyard is so relaxing with palm trees all around. They don't prepare dinner, but you have plenty of choice around in the village, where you can go walking in few minutes.

The cabanas are comfortable and spacious and while not directly facing the beach in a beautiful tropical garden with a large patch of grass leading onto the beach. The location is within walking distance of restaurants, bars and diving companies. The staff, in particular Amal, is a real gem, helpful in assisting with transportation or arranging diving trips.

The location (right on Nilaveli beach), the amenities available at the flat, the comfortable seating and sleeping arrangements - way too many things to capture! The host initiated and maintained an open channel of communication from booking through our stay, sending very helpful information on location, getting there, check-in process, local shops and restaurants, etc. The manager and the staff are all very competent and went the extra mile to ensure our comfort.

Staying at Rory's penthouse apartment was kind of dream coming true. The views from the balcony and rooftop jacuzzi were unreal. The interior was elegant, with very high attention to detail. Everything was exactly as in the pictures. The kitchen was shopisticated with all possible utensils, porcelains, and cutlery. We loved every bit of four day stay here.

Location is stunning with direct view and access to a beautiful sandy beach like from your dream! The house is beautifully designed with great architectural features. The food was excellent. You have a chef and butler at your disposal. If you place your order, they will buy the ingredients and serve up tasty, healthy, freshly cooked food. The infinity pool with jacuzzi is great fun when you don’t want to swim in the sea. We took a trip to Pigeon Island and snorkelled. We saw turtles and sharks as well as colourful fish.

The apartment overlooked the sea. Beautiful accommodation, spotlessly clean, with everything needed. Comfy beds, a/c, good bathroom, well equipped kitchen, spacious lounge. I wish we could have stayed longer. And the weather despite the low season was perfect. 30c and clear blue skies.

    Amazing location right on the beach. A real eye for detail in the design of the space, everything created for pure chillout. Plenty of shade if you wanted it on the large double bed sized divans. Order up a cocktail, take a dip in the ridiculously warm ocean 30 metres away - what’s not to love?

    Very nice hotel, right on the beach with it's own private beach which is cleaned every day. Tranquil location. Nice big pool which is very clean. Dappled shade on the beach from the coconut palms make sunbathing very comfortable. Sunbeds and beach towels are provided. Manager and staff are fantastic. Can't find any faults. PADI dive centre next door and can get to pigeon island very easily from here. Food is pretty good in the restaurant. Very comfortable bed and quality linen

    A wonderful, spacious and thoughtfully decorated apartment for a couple of nights in Nilaveli. The bedrooms were comfortable and outlook across the pool to the ocean was wonderful. We loved being right on the beach and having access to the pool. Due to friends also staying in the area, we are confident that this is one of the better apartments in this complex :-) We had a minor request during our stay and messaged the owners via booking.com. They were very responsive.
