We stayed there for 4 nights, and it was not enough :)

Nestled in the greenery with the breathtaking views, this is place you want to enjoy for more than one day. It's situated little bit uphill, but really short walk from/to the beaches. There are two rather different beaches, so you have a choice of very natural and rather long Silent Beach that is great for walks and fun in the waves, or closer Unakuruwa Beach, which is more sheltered and thus better suited for swimming. We enjoyed very much the yoga deck for our morning practice. Although there were no classes at the time of our visit, we were perfectly fine by ourselves. Also, there is a huge, well managed garden as a part of property, so your privacy is guaranteed. Breakfast were plentiful and very tasty. There is a possibility to preorder also dinner, which actually is a good idea if it gets really warm, as there is always a nice breeze up there. We had 2 very spacious rooms, both very comfortable and balcony views were simply great. The whole place is very green, taken care of and calm. If you want to slow down a bit and enjoy the nature, this is a right place.

Expensive for what you get. Feels a bit tired, needs a bit of TLC.

Lovely views, friendly staff, great access to the nearby beaches. Lovely big room with balcony.

Nothing, we enjoyed our stay very much.

The Little Tamarind is a wonderful place to stay. Gorgeous views, outstanding breakfast and facilities, and walking distance to Sri Lanka’s most beautiful beaches. Each morning two Grey Hornbills came to visit us. Very accommodating, friendly and attentive staff.

A fantastic location in a sleepy seaside village. Two mins walk to the beach. I was the only guest but Eli, Sunny and the team really made me feel very welcome, and accommodated changes in my booking. The breakfast that was included was excellent. It's an ideal place for a short visit to unwind.

Property based on a huge hill with steps. Be mindful when booking with elderly/young children. The little house is outdated and is situated about 2 minutes from the main hotel, be aware if booking as a group.

Some minor features felt a bit dated like the door lock

Clean and spacious room with a spectacular view over the garden to the sea. Close to 2 different beaches, silent beach and unakuruwa beach, the latter you can use for swimming.

Everything was perfect!!

It’s a beautiful place in the nature and just 5’ walk to the amazing silent beach. Ruth and the rest of the team were so so nice! The room is so big and comfortable, colonial style with a big bed and cozy mosquito net, you can spend hours in the terrace with views of the sea and the noises of the jungle, at night you can see the stars from the bed, it’s so beautiful! The dinner and the breakfast were delicious!! The even allow us to stay a little bit longer and do the check out later :-) You can relax in the main common areas within the hotel, certainly we recommend this charming place to stay in one of the most beautiful beaches in Sri Lanka. We totally recommend to stay here!!

Nothing comes to mind!

Ruthy was a very warm and generous host, she really looked after us and made us feel very welcome here ! The junior suite had incredible views of the ocean!

We stayed in the family suite - large, very comfortable, with outstanding 180 views from the balcony. There are two exceptional beaches within five minutes walk. Silent Beach to the left was pristine, few people and wonderful if slightly choppy swimming. Fisherman's Beach in the other direction was easier swimming, most people were there for the surfing. Lovely relaxed vibe. Both had great friendly places to eat and drink. One of us was celebrating a big birthday and we were treated to breakfast on the balcony with flowers from the garden and a cake for tea which all the team came out to share. Very special. To add that the hotel is set in large gardens in the heart of a friendly village (we were greeted by everyone), with a number of recommended home cooking restaurants. Enjoy! An amazing place.

Quiet Sound of the waves Silent Beach is a must! Just 5 min of walk

I needed better connection for WiFi. But I understand this is not the ethos of this hotel. Consider this if you need to be online often.

This is a peaceful calm hotel with wonderful staff. The facilities are limited but because it is trying to connect you to your location, not fancy silly things. Ruth, Sunny and the staff are very kind and attentive. It’s was a lovely stay. Very relaxed.

Everything was great, the room, the view, the surroundings but first of all the people working there, thanks a lot!

Sets the bar for smart eco-design

Exceptionally well planned renovation that captures the cooling wind, frames the natural views and provides a beautifully comfortable living space. Appreciate that single-use plastic is not used and energy is not wasted on AC.

Everything was great.

Perfect stay. We booked the room with the big terrace and it was such an experience. We saw monkeys and squirrels running around in the garden. A true contact-with-nature experience. Best hotel of our Sri Lanka trip.

The volunteer lady from USA needs to get out of this place. ( I was there 3 nights I never see her doing anything to help out beside eat, smoke her vape, and only checking in to up-sales few activities , she even forgot to tells us there was a dinner menu WTF lady

Breakfast Views from the room Location Comfortable bed Dinner menu The manager + stuff are hard working peoples

Small touches would make it even better - some things need refreshing (hard opening terrace doors, ac/fan broke twice…)

Great location near one of the most beautiful beaches, another surfing beach walking distance, beautiful view, very nice staff, the overall vibe

I was looking for a nice place to rest after a month of touring in Sri Lanka. By chance I found this beautiful place. I gave it a try for two days. Ended up staying 16 days. I loved everything there. It's authentic. Attention to details shows that they really care. Thanks Sawny and Anoura. Highly recommandable

This such an incredible place to stay. Silent beach is only a 2 minute walk and there are lots of places to eat close by. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The room itself was very spacious and had the most incredible view. I will 100% be coming back!

For us, the food seemed a bit "westernized". We think we had more authentic food elsewhere. But maybe that's intentional, just depends on your preference in the end :)

Stunningly beautiful setting! The views onto the ocean are just amazing and the way the property is built you have a view from everywhere. Gorgeous dining area, spacious and comfortable rooms, Yoga and Chillout are that is free to use and has - of course - a stunning view, beautiful garden. The location is very quiet and secluded, but within less than 5 minutes walking distance there are two great beaches. Even though the hotel is elevated, the walk uphill is not too bad. Super friendly and welcoming staff, all of them! We felt very well taken care of. Option to get a great massage right on site. The concept of being close to nature. There's no AC for example, but you also don't need it.

All good 😁

What a find! This is one of those places when you arrive and think, I wish I booked this place for more days. It is so peaceful and we had amazing relaxing time there. The views from our balcony was breathtaking, you could sit there all day and watch birds, monkeys, squirrels to play. Staff is a credit to the hotel, all very friendly and helpful, particularly Sunny and Anura. The hotel owner is lucky to have them. Room was spacious and bright. We had dinners at the hotel twice and would say they were better than other places we have eaten at, plus we had an amazing view, watching rain, jungle and sea. Would love to come back one day. One of the best places we have ever stayed.
