Villas Villa Nilnara

I would love to give a 20/10, if I could. This place is absolutely fantastic for its price. The staff was so kind and friendly and served us breakfast and dinner on our balcony. The food was fantastic as well. They also have a tuktuk driver to bring us anywhere we wanted. The room was very clean and spacious. The location was quiet on a lonely, white sandy beach with perfect views on the sunset. There are also restaurant and bar options around the area and the accommodation offer a Madu River safari for a great price. We had a fantastic time and highly recommend this place, if you're looking for an authentic place in paradise.

Great localization, very kind stuff and fantastic cooks! Best fish we ever had. Very nice place to stay in Sri Lanka 10/10.

The house is pretty. I especially enjoyed the balcony and sitting room with great views due to the beach front location. You can watch the amazing sunset right from your room. There is a swimming area close by (at the rocks to the left): according to the staff the swimming right in front of the hotel is dangerous. But it was fine both days i was there, with hardly any waves or current. The staff is sweet and fun and up for a chat. The dinners were good, but really way too pricy for what you are getting. Same goes for drinks.

Perfect last stay before heading back to Colombo. The villas are wonderful, with a whole floor to yourself. I think there’s only four of them so it was lovely and peaceful. My room on the first floor had a beautiful large bedroom with very high ceiling and lots of space and surfaces, plus a whole extra lounge space where you can eat outside. A beautiful clean pool. And then you’re just steps from the gorgeous quiet beach. There’s a lovely garden inside too. Really lovely and friendly hosts. Very happy, thank you.

Villa Nilnara was a great place to stay. The location was super clean and comfortable. The food was super nice! We had fresh fish with a nice and fresh salad. Also the variety of the breakfast was nice (local or international breakfast). Every day we were asked about the timing when we want to have breakfast and dinner and the staff was super flexible. The accommodation is located directly at a really nice beach. Which is super empty because there are almost no neighbors or tourist accommodations around. The “garden” and the pool offers enough space for everyone to have private and quiet time. Above all the staff was really friendly and helpful. Once our WiFi was broken and they arranged someone to come to fix it immediately. They also arranged a scooter. Everyone made us feel very welcome.

Absolutely loved my stay here! The villa is right on the beach, offering the most stunning views from the spacious rooms .It’s incredibly peaceful, perfect for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. The food was exceptional—fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing beachfront vacation!it's truly worth for every Penney.

We were made to feel very special by the Staff. All our Meals were served on the Veranda overlooking The Pool and Beach. The Cook would discuss with us what we wanted before every Meal. Exceptionally Spacious and Clean. Nothing was too much trouble! I rate the Pool the best we have had, and this stay the best on our 28 day Tour.

Room and balcony were lovely for relaxing. The beach was beautiful though the sea a little rough for swimming.

A beautiful villa right by the beach — a perfect place to relax and immerse yourself in the soothing sound of the waves. The rooms are huge, elegantly furnished, and each has an additional space that serves as a living room. We enjoyed having breakfast on the terrace with a spectacular view of the ocean. However, the absolute highlight of our stay was the fantastic food. Every single dish we ordered was delicious — hands down the best food we had during our entire trip to Sri Lanka. We spent every day at the beach, where in the afternoons we could watch traditional fishing methods, and some of the fresh catch even ended up on our plates later! We also took a tour organized through the villa. We highly recommend the river safari, which includes a must-visit stop at Cinnamon Island and a local temple.

Greeted on arrival and let in to room. Welcome drink and cold towel was lovely. Staff at Villa Nilnara are amazinbgh. Super helpful. Breakfast was amazing. All cooked fresh on the premises. Room was very comfortable. plenty of space. There was a weird entrance area shared by the room above and they wanted to use our terrace area for coming in and out which was odd. So we had a word and they got funny about it. we weren't using their balcony upstairs!! Close to the beach. easy to get an uber and get around to Galle, Bentotam Balapitiya. Great partying in Haikkaduwa for new years. Big shout to Ranga who was super helpful throughout our holiday. Really made a huge difference.
