River View Villas

The staff, the food, the property....all invite you to relax. The view of the lake in the morning....calm, peace... So it was really a place to come out of your mind and into your senses....excellent food....I didn't know that one can cook with such variety vegetarian food...and above all it tasted sooo good. Boat trip through the Mangrove forest...some sightseeing....sunsets...a Crocodile did some sunbathing on the rocks....don't worry it was far away....the staff always give you a hand...Roy the magician, Insaf and his father Ilyas. As I asked for a room with river view they gave me a room in the villa without extra pay. Once in awhile I had a head, neck shoulder massage...couldn't get enough of it... So all in all a very relaxed and pleasant experience....No wonder I stayed for two weeks...

I absolutely loved my stay here! The atmosphere is simply amazing. The staff deserves special praise – they are caring, attentive, always smiling, and friendly. They create an incredibly positive vibe and recharge you with energy every single day. The rooms are a delight. Everything is very clean, modern, and cozy. The territory, although not large, is very green and well-maintained, with a beautiful garden. I especially enjoyed the two fantastic pools and the stunning, peaceful view of the river. And of course, the food! It’s not just delicious but also healthy – the perfect combination for a rejuvenating stay, leaving you feeling energized and refreshed. Special mention goes to the Ayurveda center on the hotel grounds – I am absolutely thrilled with it! The super professional team worked with me from morning till evening. I went through all the services listed on their website, and in just nine days, they healed my neck, cured my insomnia, and restored my energy and strength. It was an incredible experience, spending time in complete silence without a phone. This place has left me with the warmest impressions, and I will definitely come back again!

River View Villas is run by a family that really knows how to provide a holistic hospitality to their guests! We had booked a room that turned out to not be suitable for my mother due to mobility issues. They were fully booked but ensured we would be comfortable in alternate accommodation. Mr. Ilyas and Insaf are always present ensuring their guests have the most relaxed experience and the property is beautiful to boot! We also got great massages!

Absolutely fantastic stay! The place is spotlessly clean, and the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. The staff are not only friendly but also extremely helpful, going above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great experience!

Beautiful place, very quite and relaxing, the staff was amazing! I really recommend this place for whoever is visiting Sri Lanka.
