The property was just perfect. Lots of space so we could spread out, find a quiet corner if needed .

Samudrawasa was a really special villa. Beds were so comfortable, the pool was just great, food and staff were perfect nothing was too much trouble for them. It was just such a pity there was so much rubbish on the roadside and on to the beach.

Amazing place with perfect location for a family holiday

Samudrawasa was the perfect place for our extended family vacation. The standard of the house itself is exquisite, beautifully renovated to a genuine colonial feeling, and the rooms fully met our need for 7 grownups and 4 kids ranging 5-13 years old. The private pool is a real treat (and the A/C also very welcome). The staff is also lovely; so friendly and helpful in every way. They prepared breakfast every morning, and dinner/lunch at demand, all really great food. As there are very few other opportunities in Ambalangoda, this is a good option if you don't want to go to Hikkaduwa - a bigger town just 15-20 min away by tuk-tuk, which Kingsley is happy to provide. Hikkaduwa is bustling with beach bars and restaurants (but also with touts and noise, very different from Ambalangoda). Kingsley and his men can also help with day trips and excursions to other parts of Sri Lanka. Ambalangoda itself is a small, local town with few tourist facilities, but an absolutely gorgeous beach just 50 m from the house. Quite a high surf there at times, but most days, both the young and the older had a great time swimming and playing. Only for good swimmers, though. On the beach, there's a fairly new beach bar called Chill Pill, which all-in-all is a great asset also for Samudrawasa. We highly recommend at least one dinner there in the sand, we had the best sea platter ever there at Xmas eve (but bring your chill, everything takes time in Sri Lanka in general, and in Chill Pill especially). The music can be a little loud some evenings from the house, but generally not a problem from the rooms. The internet connection was very variable in our days there, claiming to be a problem for the town rather than the house, but be aware if you plan to bring your work with you. All in all, I hardly think we could have found a better place to spend our Xmas holiday. Samudrawasa and it's staff comes highly recommended from us in Norway.

Cool, clean, comfortable, charming.

This extremely aptly named cool retreat is comfortable and elegantly furnished, and we were very well looked after all week by Kingsley and his team, who cooked excellent Sri Lankan dinners for us every night (and showed me how to make the delicious aubergine dish). Kingsley was also very helpful in suggesting day and half day outings and booking a driver for us. We enjoyed cocktails on the terrace and cooling off in the pool, and we both had a marvellously relaxing hour-long massage at the house. !n September, just pre-monsoon season, the sea was too rough to swim in from the beach opposite the villa, however our walks along the picture postcard beach were perfect, and the sunsets spectacular. We saw nothing to suggest a need for a 24 hour security guard on the property but were nevertheless reassured by his presence. The charm, comfort and coolness within are a contrast to the bustle, obvious poverty and general untidiness without, but it is also only 12 years since the tsunami hit many parts of this coastline. On the Galle road there is a tsunami museum and a brutally graphic memorial to the many hundreds who died here. We enjoyed our visit to Galle, which is more touristy than the busy, teeming Ambalangoda, and has some more upmarket shops. We did a long day trip to the Udawalawe national park and enjoyed the safari experience although it would have been better to go earlier or later in the day for an opportunity to see the elephant herd. Kingsley will take you in the tuk-tuk to the river just 15 minutes away for a lovely 2 hour boat trip, mangroves and all, not forgetting the obligatory trip to the Buddhist temple on one of the islands. We ate lunch in randomly chosen roadside restaurants on two occasions, sticking to vegetable curries, which were very good. On your outings try to have handy a collection of 100 and 200 (50p and £1) rupee notes for tips; these are small sums but make a difference to guides, waiters and drivers. Whether you just chill out at the villa, or use it as a base for sight-seeing trips, Samudrawasa is a wonderful place to stay. I felt real regret on leaving it, and Sri Lanka.
