Our stay at The Divine Villa Thalpe was nothing short of perfection. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such warmth and care — Christophe, the owner, has truly created something special here. His attention to detail and passion for hospitality shine through in every corner of the villa. The house itself is absolutely stunning — a beautiful blend of modern luxury and serene tropical charm. The interior design is beautiful. Every room was meticulously designed, immaculately clean, and incredibly comfortable. Waking up to the view of the lush gardens and pool felt like a dream. The staff were beyond amazing — thoughtful, professional, and always going above and beyond to make sure our stay was flawless. From the delicious meal (we took the breakfast but now wish we’d had more meals there) to the little touches throughout the day, everything was handled with grace and genuine care. If you’re looking for a luxurious, peaceful escape in Sri Lanka, The Divine Villa Thalpe is just perfect. We loved every minute and didn’t want to leave. Thank you Christophe and team for an unforgettable experience. We can’t wait to come back!

Where to start? This is THE perfect place to unwind and ground during any time of your vacation. We had already been in Sri Lanka for three weeks and wanted a place away from the beach, surrounded by nature. From the local monkeys, the array of birds, flocks of parrots, and peacocks jumping up on the roof, to the resident kingfisher. The sounds in the morning are spectacular. Then there's the hotel itself, built as an old colonial-style house. The pool area is the perfect place to relax, and the food offered was lovely - we highly recommend the curry (of course). We used our days there to ground, reflect and journal. Thank you to the team for looking after us. The service was excellent throughout our stay. Grateful to the whole team.

There are not many properties where all points you can give are actually not enough, but the Sergeant House is such a place. We stayed in the 3-Bedroom-Villa with our kids and had a fantastic time. It’s literally impossible to say what we have enjoyed more, the attention given to us by the staff or the amazing property. We are definitely looking forward to repeat this experience again.

Absolutely EXCEPTIONAL! We were a group of 5 and we LOVED it. I travel a lot but I will remember these hosts forever - truly good-hearted, super helpful and kind. We thought the location was really nice and quiet, a few smiley neighbors on the way too, surrounded by beautiful nature. Great breakfast included, nice and super spacious, impeccable clean and overall a super nice stay. Highly recommend! We will be back for sure :)

I had a wonderful stay at The Islanders in Ahangama. The villa is tucked away in a quiet spot, making it perfect for relaxing after a day out. My room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. The garden area was especially peaceful great for reading or just unwinding. Breakfast each morning was fresh and simple, with fruits, eggs, and toast served with a smile. The hosts were warm and welcoming, always ready to help with local tips. I felt right at home. Would definitely come back!
