Dinners are an additional enrichment to your stay, with great tastes - for us it was a 10 of 10 in all categories." - "We had such a lovely stay at Villa Thamburu. The whole premise is just amazing. Very boutique but everything was 5 star. A lot of thought has gone into create such a beautiful sanctuary. The little touches - like locally made Barefoot linen robes etc really added to the 'premium' feel of the place. The staff went out of their way to accomodate us - even tracking my daughter down a boogie board so she could have fun on the beach.

Staff and owners are always there for you to help if anything is needed! Thx to all of them! 🙏🏻 At my next stay, I definitely will come again!" - "From the moment we arrived at this hidden gem until the last we were treated like royalty. Niroshwan, Lakshmi and all the staff were so nice, they went above and beyond to make our stay even more special. Their culinary skills were amazing and the taste and quality of the food was exceptional with many options to choose from. The room was very spacious, clean and had everything we needed from ensuite shower room, fresh linen, a safe and fridge to mention a few. The lake view from inside our room and balcony is breathtaking and Neroshwan was so kind to arrange a boat safari where we enjoyed observing the many local wildlife. We walked in to the town which was quite a pleasant 20 minute walk and were greeted along the way many times by the friendly locals, we felt very safe on route. The hotel wasn't overly expensive but still felt like we should be paying much more for the quality and service that we received. It was worth every rupee. I would strongly advise anyone travelling to Sri Lanka to consider travelling down the coast and stay at this beautiful resort, you will not be disappointed. We sincerely wish Niroswan, Lakshmi and family all of the luck in the future. We will not forget this place and have plenty of amazing photos and memories to look back on.
