We enjoyed our stay at Kingfish villa in the month of March 2025. It was a very pleasant time. An optimal location to relax and experience the beautiful beach of Ranna at a distance of ca. 300 m. The owner Raveen is also an amazing person. He is very helpful and knows around Ranna, southern locations of SL and even other locations at wish. Also, there is the possibility to have him as a tour guide. He owns a restaurant as well where the food is exquisite. One can choose a variety of local foods and drinks too. Overall, remarkably good experience.

A peaceful location close to the pristine beaches where we swam near a reef with loads of tropical fish. The restaurant served fresh authentic Sri Lankan breakfast & dinner. Particularly enjoyed chilling out in the hammock & deck chairs on the patio.

Our one-night stay at this villa was truly enjoyable. The property is only about 100 meters from the beach, so it was easy to walk over and enjoy the sea breeze whenever we wanted. The villa itself is very spacious, nicely designed, and kept very clean. It offered a perfect mix of comfort and privacy. The large swimming pool was the highlight — sparkling clean, well-maintained, and big enough to really enjoy a proper swim, not just a quick dip. We spent a lot of time relaxing by the poolside, which made our stay even more special. What impressed us most was the peaceful atmosphere. The area is calm and quiet, away from crowds, yet still close enough to the beach and local surroundings. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and always ready to help, which made the whole experience smooth and pleasant. Even though we only stayed one night, it felt like a refreshing getaway. This villa is perfect for both short and long stays, and we would definitely choose it again in the future.

I recently had the pleasure of staying a few nights at the picturesque Tomorrowland Hostel in Ella, Sri Lanka, and the hospitality there far surpassed typical hostel standards. During my visit, Pooja, the guest relations officer, recommended their new upscale boutique property, Tomorrowland Beach Villas in Rekawa, Tangalle, for a luxurious all-inclusive experience—and it truly delivered. From the moment I arrived, the experience was nothing short of heavenly. I was warmly welcomed by two gracious hosts who greeted me with a cool, refreshing towel and a glass of freshly squeezed fruit juice. It was early morning, and I was quite hungry, so they treated me to the best hash browns I’ve ever tasted, along with a delicious spread of fresh fruits and organic tea sourced from Sri Lanka’s highlands. The all-inclusive package was a highlight, featuring a memorable canoeing trip on the serene Rekawa Lagoon and a spectacular beachside dinner. The meal included giant shrimp caught fresh during the lagoon adventure—a dining experience I won’t soon forget. I’ve yet to come across an all-inclusive offering quite like this one. It was absolutely worth every moment, and I cannot recommend Tomorrowland Beach Villas enough. The hospitality, cuisine, and service were exceptional in every way. If you’re looking for an unparalleled “all-inclusive” retreat on Sri Lanka’s South Coast, this is the place to go. Five stars, without hesitation!

We felt very welcomed from the point of arrival. The mattresses were all perfect and super comfy, as well as having all the spaces very clean. I enjoyed every moment when I was at the property, I’m just sad that I didn’t get to stay longer!

Our family truly enjoyed this villa and its peaceful location. The owner was incredibly helpful upon our arrival, assisting with food and scooter rentals. It's a short five-minute walk to a beautiful beach, perfect for turtle sightings. The villa features a cozy terrace and a convenient kitchen with a fridge and coffee/tea making facilities. For pool access, guests can enjoy lunch at the nearby Eagle Nest Cabanas and use their pool for free. We also recommend visiting Mangrove Beach for its natural pool and ocean swimming.
