Vanina Villas

Very nicely designed hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms and a very generous Western-style breakfast. Its main highlight, in my opinion, is the location. It’s strategically positioned between major tourist spots, yet set directly on a very quiet beach, mostly frequented by Vanina’s guests, guests from the nearby hotel (also rather small) and local surfers. It feels much more authentic and pleasant than more famous places like Mirissa or Hiriketiya (each 30min drive away). The beach here is also great for both surfing and swimming.

In my opinion, however, the value for money was not great. This was by far the most expensive hotel of our two-week –and six-hotel– trip in Sri Lanka, and yet the only one where we had a limited amount of hot water (barely enough to wash my hair) and no possibility to choose breakfast, which was the same every day. And while the design is very nice—especially in the common areas—some details could have been improved. Overall, it felt more like a good Sri Lankan standard at a proud European price. For half of the price, I would definitely come back.

My two adult daughters and I want peace and harmony after a roundtrip - and we got it and more during our 6-days stay. We stayed at the room with sea view and only a nice sound of the sea. Clean and plenty of space. The food - with a touch of France - was excellent. Always small surprises. Starting the day with a plate of fresh fruits. Ready for a day at the beach or by the swimming pool. The decoration of the reception, restaurant and the atmosphere (shoes are not allowed) was magic. The service with love, care and important for us humor. We also like the two dogs ;-) We didn’t surf - but we need a reasons to come back one day. We got massage twice and it was very professional. We celebrated New Year 2026 and it was like a kick start of the year. Warm recommendation from us if you need to relax and enjoy life 🙏🏻

Wir hatten eine super Zeit und fühlten uns direkt wohl. Alle sind super freundlich, die Lage zum surfen am Strand ist genial und Axel ist ein super Lehrer. Wer Ruhe und Entspannung sucht, ist hier richtig.

Das jeder Urlaub mal endet

es war wunderbar. Jean und Myriam führen ein sehr familiäres Hotel. sie sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sie geben sehr gute Empfehlungen für Restaurants, Strände und Ausflüge. Sie unterstützen bei der Organisation von Ausflügen oder Transport. Ihr Sohn Axel gibt sehr guten Surfunterricht. Ihr Chief of Staff, Kumara, ist sehr freundlich, genau wie das gesamte Personal. Die einzelnen Villen sind sehr schön eingerichtet und gemütlich. Das ganze Anwesen, der Pool und die Aufenthaltsbereiche sind wirklich sehr schön, ruhig und direkt am Strand gelegen. Für eine kurze Fahrt nach Matara nimmt man ein TukTuk. Dort gibt es sehr gute Restaurants. Am Strand beim Hotel, gibt es auch Orte, wo man Kleinigkeiten essen kann Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

Elegant facilities at an A+ location on an uncrowded, beautiful beach with gracious hosts and great food.

Wonderful location

Myriam and Leo are prefect hosts, very open and welcoming. They were always ready to meet all of our needs. Bonus shoutout to masseur Rami, he was so good we had to use his services twice

Wonderful accomodation, directly on the beach, with all equipment needed and super nicely designed. Lovely staff and truly a great place to relax
