Reviews

  • "The stay was just perfect. The right place for anyone in need of a quiet, peaceful place to completely unwind, relax and listen to the sound of the ocean and occasional downpour of monsoon rains."

  • "We have just returned from a family holiday at Samudra. We honestly could not have asked for more. The house has the BEST location, is stunningly decorated, extremely comfortable, and has the most friendly and hard working team running the house. Ruwan is an excellent chef and can organise all transport and bookings. We loved Sri Lanka and will definitely return."

  • "We honestly could not have asked for more. We arrived at about 3am in the morning and of course the house was lit and welcoming. Waking the next morning with that beautiful blue sky and light on the water was just supreme. And then it all starts unrolling before your eyes - a pre breakfast dunk in the sea, delicious breakfast, all made possible but the team who could not have been delightful and helpful at every turn. Transport management, food shopping and suggestions were all immaculately dealt with, and with a smile."

  • "From the minute you enter the property, like entering a secret garden, you know you have discovered somewhere magical to stay, with the ocean at your doorstep. The staff are welcoming and then unobtrusive and the quality of the food is 5*. It is beautifully designed throughout."

  • "Samudra Beach House…you have my heart. It is the most beautiful, serene, heaven-like beach based oasis, with the ocean as both your view and soundtrack. You open the gate to Samudra and walk through a stone-floored leafy corridor which only adds to feeling you’re entering a whole new world - a total paradise where the rest of the world is switched off in an instant. Its own entity completely, yet a short beach front walk away from a brilliant array of bars and restaurants.

  • "The villa has a great vibe and is so comfortable. We regard Samudra House to be among the very finest villas, not only in Sri Lanka, but the entire world. We've visited thousands of villas and stayed in hundreds ourselves - Samudra House is on another level. No wonder guests continue to come back year after year!"

  • “Fantastic villa with great staff. The villa is beautifully located with the tropical garden ending right on the golden sand of the talpe beach. The staff were very accommodating and respected our privacy and only emerged when we needed assistance. Would highly recommend the villa for small groups and families.”

  • “Samudra house is absolutely exquisite. The service, food and decor are easily as good as any five star hotel and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending it to my most discerning friends. The house, pool and beachfront position exude laidback luxury and are perfectly set up for the most heavenly and relaxing holiday. Ruan, Sanjeeva and the other staff are delightful and cook sensational Sri Lankan and Western food. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.”

  • “Wow! What a week! THE most beautiful house in an oasis of calm. Incredibly comfortable in every way. The bedrooms are absolutely stunning with huge beds and plenty of space. Gorgeous swimming pool and beach just up front makes this haven quite impossible to leave! But if you do venture out there are numerous restaurants less than five minute Tuk Tuk drives away plus the amazing Galle Fort. We’ve stayed in various locations in the area before and none have come close to comparison to Samudra house! THANK YOU”
