SUNSET BEACH HAVEN, Entire Villa, Beachfront, Pool, Private

Sadika and his family looked after us so well. 10/10 service, and was just a message away when we needed anything. Villa and gardens are very clean and well kept with all bed rooms having really good ac and ceiling fans. Ensuite toilets and showers are very clean and functional but could do with a freshen up. Villa was perfect for our family, the pool was a great addition perfect for young kids (4-10), also some really nice beach facing restaurants within short walking distance from Villa. About a 15 minute tuk tuk ride into Galle town and about the same to Hikkaduwa village in the other direction. Transport options are plentiful and easily available. The beach directly behind the Villa has a steep bank with high waves and involves a bit of climbing and navigating a storm drain to get to flatter part of beach, so it might be a bit difficult to navigate with smaller kids under 4/5. The beach on the other side of the breakwater, about 150 mtrs walk down the road is a little gentler and better serviced by restaurants and beach activities. The Villa entrance is right on the main road which can feel a little bit scary to walk on if you are not used to regional driving habits and maybe not suitable for younger travellers who are too big to carry but still using a pram/buggy.

Location: Direct access to ocean beach. Personnel is very helpful and responsive.

The photos are misleading: the house needs renovation. The concrete floor crumbles, dirty walls have cracks and blistering paint, there is mold in the ceiling and bathrooms. At night during downpour rooms were flooded with water leaking from walls, windows and roof. We had to clean the water ourselves with towels. Then, a repairman patched the roof every day starting 8 am and woke us up. The water pipes are old fragile. An outdoor pipe burst while we were there, leaving us without water for hours. The owner offered no apologies / compensation for multiple inconveniences we faced.

The villa is beautifully located and the hosts are super nice and are working hard to ensure the most comfortable stay. Lovely surroundings and nice food spots around are a big plus, Sadun Family Restaurant and Reggae Bar were lovely, we also booked an extra massage service that was very good. Pool on the property is a big asset, lovely local dogs will accompany you on the beach walks <3

The villa can use a bit of maintenance work and some improvements.

Perfect location, watching the local fishermen on the beach was a great experience. We received kind and friendly, excellent service + contact from the very beginning. Sadika and his family went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Breakfast and dinner were so delicious, plentiful and beautifully presented. The seafood barbecue was an added bonus. We had a truly lovely, wonderful time and were sad to say goodbye!

Nothing it was lovely, a wardrobe or hanging rail would be helpful.

1. Closer to the beach ( Has a great view) 2. Private pool 3. Caretakers 4.. Garden

The villa needs to be repaired in its roof and in the master bedroom floor. There is a smell coming from the attached bathroom in the front bedroom so need to be closed all the time.

Very beautifull spot. Well decorated. Very helpfull staff.

Good food, just expensive.
