Sānti Beach House with pool & beach

Santi Beach House is a wonderfully located property with direct beach access and amazing staff, particularly Mr Sanam, who looked after us and was always happy to help during our stay. The breakfast every morning and fresh coconuts were very well received by us!

The property is very luxurious and has lots of potential. However, it is a little bit run down and requires renovation work to go to another level. Regular maintenance, fumigation and upkeep is required but overall, we had a pleasant stay.

Comfortable bed, the bathroom was really big and had a nice shower. As far as the facilities the pool was nice and we enjoyed using the kitchen

The place was pretty far from the city center had to take a tuktuk. The place seems like it needs a renovation. The staff felt unmotivated and a bit unfriendly. We were really looking forward to our stay and we were really disappointed 😢

Stayed in the king size bedroom and the bed was huge! Bathroom was lovely. Usable kitchen with everything to make food plus tea, coffee and biscuits available all day. Staff very accommodating and always available when needed. Nice access to beach for morning swims and great location right in between Welligama and Mirssa. I think a great place to book out as a party villa as there are speakers for music and only a few rooms so feels nice and intimate.

Many things required maintenance, we didn’t have hot water on day one due to a pipe leak, then day 2 the AC was leaking into the cupboards, day 3 the locks on the bedroom door stopped working and the microwave didn’t heat. I think the place needs some more love and care but understandable since the economic issues. $10 for breakfast also is very over priced, we hired a scooter in Mirissa for 1500 Laks per day and scooted to many lovely breakfast spots costing $2-3. Due to all these reasons we feel the overall cost of our stay was overpriced and we moved to another hotel down the road which cost half the price and had much better facilities.

Saman was a great host, helpful but unobtrusive. His breakfasts were some of the best meals we had in Sri Lanka. The house has a nice cosy feel with rustic furnishings and our room was more like a small apartment. Was lovely to sit on our balcony and look out over the sea. Liked being able to access snacks and tea and coffee. Also appreciated the efforts made to be environmentally friendly eg avoiding plastic water bottles etc

Only small things that mostly weren’t to do with the property - beach in front is a bit scungy and not great for swimming but we spent most of our time in the pool anyway. A bit too far to walk to Weligama proper\Mirissa due to the humidity but was cheap and easy to get tuk tuk. For the price point had expected daily housekeeping but didn’t really bother us not having. Also would be good to have a refillable shampoo in the shower as there was none. Whole place could use a bit if a freshen up with paint, fixing pool tiles but again didn’t bother us

The interior was really beautiful and it’s next to the beach with a nice and clean pool. We almost had the house for us cause we booked 4 nights and only two nights there where other guests so it felt kinda like our house. They also have an helpful guard and the cutest dog <3 They also offer snacks, water, tea, coffee, oats and a lot of cooking ingredients for free.

On some ends it need small renovations ( around the pool the tiles where a bit broken) For us not a big deal, so not worth it to say

Perfect villa for a quiet and luxurious stay in weligama. Only 20meters to the beach (and it is the quiet part of weligama beach - not were all the surf schools, noisy beach bars and and big hotels are). Our room (upper floor - only 3 rooms total in main house - 2 rooms on upper floor) was very spacious with an incredible unobstructed view on the beach and an undeveloped piece of land with lots of king coconut trees/ jungle. Very large and comfortable double bed. Kitchen, pool, garden, interieur - all are very nice and charming. Good restaurants/ downtown is only away a 3min Tukutuk drive/ 20 min walk on the beach. The housemanager/ concierge Samen was very helpful, friendly and knowledgable - he even was installing a mosquitonet upon request before we arrived! And he is also very good cook if one has any wishes! All in all we had a 2 week holiday in paradise.

Stay was too short! Hope to be back soon!

I found that it was not very clean, the bathroom is nice but a bit dated.
