Hotels with beach in Sri Lanka

The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep, while the stunning view from the window added an extra touch of relaxation

The room was spacious, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully designed, offering a perfect blend of comfort and modern amenities

Swimming pool area is great, room with sea view , Nice manager at réception and spécial mention to the guys of housekeeping team

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel, and the experience exceeded my expectations in every way

🙏 You need the vaccine card to enter. The welcome drink Tasted like tang and was served in coconut shell cups. They have a private beach which is not crowded and a boat on the beach as a photo prop

From the moment I arrived, the staff welcomed me with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality, making the check-in process smooth and efficient

The best part was the beach itself it felt like a private one for the hotel, peaceful and not crowded at all. Perfect place to relax and unwind

We stayed at Koggala Long Beach Resort for our office annual trip (38 pax, full board, beach-view rooms). Room rates were reasonable, food was very good as they operate as a 3-star hotel and staff service was excellent

had all the amenities that should be there including the linen, towels, soap, shampoo, even the dental kit and shaving kits. The room came with a bath tub and mini fridge. Cleanliness of the room was good

The hotel has two swimming pools which were clean and relaxing, and the beautiful beach right in front is perfect for sunset walks. The staff were very friendly and helpful, always with a smile

Amazing Stay at Long Beach Resort! I had a good experience at Long Beach Resort. The service was top-notch, and the food was absolutely marvelous with a great variety to choose from

We truly enjoyed our stay at the long beach resort. The staff here is too helpful & tourist friendly. Mr Muvendra(housekeeping executive), Mr

I stayed 7 days Location is perfect Room is so clean Breakfast and dinner is nice All workers was so polite The Marino Beach is arranging city tours And there is shuttle to Beach The hotel also got taxi

For example i went to Galle face mall by the hotel taxi Price is same Uber in room each days the hotel provides different kind of Srilankan tea Last thing i wana say that The sound system in the bathroom was a very thoughtful idea

Mostly individual travelers stay here, and it's very conveniently located with easy access to transportation and shopping. The service is excellent, everyone is very friendly and enthusiastic

Nice stay with good views. Staff is supported and nice. Pool area have good great Views and facilities. Rooms are spacious with nice interiors.

We came to Sri Lanka for Chinese New Year, and the country gave us a wonderful experience. The hotel's service was excellent; they even added an extra bed for us since we were traveling with a child

Oceanfront views and a truly stunning infinity pool – the rooftop here is absolutely incredible

We also had dinner at the hotel—twice at the buffet and the other days à la carte—the food is delicious, the portions are large, and the presentation is beautiful! The beach is about a 10-minute walk away

Located a bit away from beach and restaurants, no direct access to beach/sea, rocky cliff view with two swimming pools which are well designed and maintained

Absolutely stunning stay. Very clean, beautiful and spacious rooms, lovely setting, pools are great, friendly and helpful stay. Short walk to the town with plenty of shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay again.

This was our final hotel in Sri Lanka. We loved the accommodations: for a family of two adults and two children, we booked a suite (it's two-story, with windows only on the roof—a dormer—and in the bathrooms

There's a café called Lemongrass near the hotel, where we almost always had dinner. The portions are huge, and the prices are reasonable. When the hotel advertised an evening buffet, we dined there

) The hotel could use some cosmetic renovations, but that didn't spoil our experience. The staff was fantastic! Especially the girl at reception and everyone else in the restaurant

For example, the last dinner at the hotel, we made 50% discount as an apology) All beaches in Sri Lanka state, so often swimming in the ocean, you can meet locals who offer some trips or just a trip to the city

First, I must say the staff here is amazing. They were friendly and helpful from the moment we called to make the reservation, especially Miss Senaya at the front desk, who went out of her way to assist us

Highly recommend for anyone looking for a perfect beach getaway!

The food was delicious, the room super clean, and the staff service excellent. The pool is amazing, and overall, the experience was top-notch from start to finish

The front desk was super nice and suggested that we upgrade to the ocean side instead of the railway side, because the railway side is a little noisy when the train passes by

The hotel could use a little renovation, but since everything was well maintained, it didn’t affect our stay at all. Overall, we had a wonderful experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed the food especially the varieties and emphasis on local cuisine, as well as the activities including yoga, tennis, beach, etc. The room was kept clean and fresh at all times

We had an amazing stay at this hotel. We spent three nights here and enjoyed every moment. The staff were absolutely wonderful, the food was delicious, and the private beach was simply stunning

We especially loved the complimentary yoga sessions and the beautiful pool area. Another highlight was seeing animals wandering around the property — it made the experience feel even more special and unique

We truly loved our stay and would happily come back. The only downside is that the hotel is not adults-only, so there are children around

We really appreciate the thoughtful gifts and great job done by the housekeeping team (Rahjil and many others)

It would be great if there were a designated area for kids, especially around the pool, to make the experience more relaxing for adult guests

Lovely hotel on a beautiful beach. Rooms were big and very clean There was not too much around the area, but that was not an issue. Staff were very friendly and helpful and would recommend staying here.

Excellent wide beach, clean grounds, nice room with an ocean view, attentive staff, daily cleaning with full linen change, delicious breakfasts. We loved it.

And specially rooms are very clean and properly arranged. The beach view from some rooms are the best. So when you're selecting your room please select beachside. For a wonderful family trip it's the best

The welcome at arrival was great The Beach was clean and pool water was comfortable warm Staff super friendly giving a warm and cosy atmosphere

And the surrounding is really nice and clean with the beach. Good for family outings, couples, friends and enjoying the beach while having a luxurious stay

Those who like the seaside can experience it, because the hotel occupies a large sea area. Compared with the Dameisha sea area and the surrounding five-star hotels and Sanya, this place is definitely better.

Cosy yet luxury, soft sand impeccable private beach that is safe to swim in, great breakfast amd dinner, well air conditioned luxury rooms with jacuzzi, pillow menu and some have private pool. Highly recommend.

Beautiful place, nice room even with a jacuzzi, privat beach. Friendly staff. Good breakfast we could use outside direct besides the beach.

I recently spent two nights in this hotel. The Bad: hotel decor is very dated. Colour schemes and furniture and in particular the Jazuzzi bath in bathroom are really archaic. The Good: hotel is located right on the beach

The experience of this hotel is average. First of all, the hygiene of the room is average. The bathroom has a bit of smell. Secondly, the towels don't look very clean

Our stay at Cocobay was absolutely incredible! The staff were exceptionally warm and welcoming, always going above and beyond. The breathtaking ocean views made every moment unforgettable. Highly recommend

The place is lovely, the service is hard but a little unreliable. Clean, welcoming, the room is large and the space is comfortable. It is 2 kilometers away from the ancient city, but it is also very fast to call a taxi.

The sunbeds are comfortable and the whole space feels stylish and well maintained. Food and drinks were very enjoyable — fresh, tasty, and nicely presented. The cocktails were especially great for a hot beach day

The pool, cocktails, and stunning beach views truly made it a dream vacation. The food was absolutely delicious, and what made the experience unforgettable was the staff, they genuinely treat you like royalty

We visited Angel Beach Unawatuna in 2021 with a group of friends, and it was a truly memorable experience. The place is located in one of the most popular tourism areas in Unawatuna and is very easy to access

Had a wonderful day at Angel Beach. The place is beautifully set right by the ocean, with a relaxed beach vibe that makes it perfect for spending a slow day by the water

The location is right next to the beach, making it an ideal spot to visit in the evening. The sunset views are absolutely stunning and perfect for photography

Had the most amazing stay at Angel Beach, Unawatuna ✨ It was during the Christmas, New Year break, and the property had the most incredible vibe

Very helpful staff always willing to help. Sun loungers always available pool side. Food is good but a bit repetitive. Lovely private beach but be careful with the sea, very choppy and strong current

Lovely location beside Indian Ocean, good selection of food. Friendly staff and excellent rooms and facilities. All inclusive provided all required meals drinks and snacks. Plenty of space to lounge around inside and out

The hotel staff were delightful. They were very accommodating of us travelling with toddlers. They even let us order food from a different restaurant within the hotel and served it in another restaurant

Their potion sizes were worth the money

The entire communication was back and forth between three parties. What’s even more outrageous is that one of the bookings has no room. I never thought that a platform as big as Ctrip would make this mistake

The buffet was often overcrowded and there was limited choice, but the freshly made food was always delicious. Some drinks were not available. The pool was lovely and the staff were very attentive

Lovely comfortable room. Good room service and fabulous breakfast. No hairdryer in room. Check in delayed for nearly half an hour because room hadn’t been cleaned by 2pm.

A super-clean and well maintained colonial hotel, breakfast and diner- buffets were really good,cleaning staff were very friendly, but restaurant and reception staff could be more more service minded

Immaculately observed, including the lowering of the Sri Lankan flag every day at 6pm, accompanied by a Scottish bagpiper!! Excellent location, close to the city centre but just enough away, right be the sea, in front of the iconic Galle Face Green

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, it's just like stepping back in time to enjoy the Colonial period. All the staff were welcoming and courteous. The breakfast and evening buffet were very good. Great location too.

Prices reflect the maintenance of traditional cuisine in a the modern world… But not as expensive as other modern hotels nearby, eg the Kingsbury. We were here in the run up to Christmas 2025

We stayed two nights and had a very nice stay. Location, room and staff were excellent

One of the nicest places we stayed in Sri Lanka in terms of value. Rooms are simply fantastic - excellent size, well designed. The land has direct access to the ocean and a little beach in front of it

The beautiful sea and the cozy turtle beach nearby create a harmonious atmosphere that makes this hotel so special

I highly recommend everything on the menu, especially the dessert with matcha and white chocolate—it’s a must-try! If you’re in Talpe, don’t miss out on this fantastic and cozy hotel, where every detail offers a little something extra

First and foremost, I feel incredibly fortunate to have met the wonderful owner, Catherine, who is so welcoming and kind, qualities that truly shine through in this comfortable and charming hotel

The rooms, food, staff, service, cleanliness, and location exceed every expectation one could have for a hotel. We enjoyed every minute, both inside our room and throughout the hotel

Service is the absolutely best

Beautiful resort from reception to the rooms. The architecture is absolutely amazing — thoughtfully designed, elegant, and truly impressive. The location is perfect, with an easy walk to both the beach and the town

The pool area and spa are wonderfully relaxing, and the poolside staff are attentive to your every need, preparing comfortable loungers with fresh towels

She was a star - particularly as we were obviously facing air transportation difficulties with the issues in Iran. The facilities at this hotel are very good. The gym is modern and has plenty of weights aerobic machines

Every member of staff we met was very friendly, professional and welcoming, which made our stay even more special. The resort is perfect for both families and couples, with everyone’s needs thoughtfully catered for

The Spa was particularly good with professional, friendly and welcoming staff. Anjani was particularly good and Myself and my Wife really enjoyed a relaxing time there

We are very likely to return because of the exceptional service, relaxing atmosphere, and the overall luxurious experience that made our visit so memorable

Such a fantastic hotel located bang on the beach…this is the third time I’ve been to this hotel over the years and whenever I travel to Sri Lanka I HAVE to stay here as it’s so calm and relaxing to be right in the beachfront…next time I’m in Sri Lanka again I will definitely come back !

Nice hotel, rooms are clean and spacious. Service on the resort is great. Resort has 3 swimming pools and beachfront. However, the beach was not clean, was a lot of garbage on the beach

The beach bar staff, restaurant staff, housekeeping and pool attendant were extremely friendly. The food at breakfast had a wide selection and was delicious

The air conditioner was extremely noisy, but fortunately it was still cool at night so I could turn it off and sleep. The location near the beach with beautiful views is particularly commendable

A beautiful yet quiet hotel with lots of greenery. Perfect for relaxing and close to the airport. There are restaurants nearby. Very spacious, beautiful rooms.

The main restaurant had strong understanding of dietary restrictions and was able to provide us gluten free meals, including gluten free bread

It is a very good place with amazing views and beach access. There is a private beach with sea facing rooms. The restaurant is also by the sea. There is a supermarket right opposite

We had an amazing stay in Joes resort, the inhouse beach is too good & food was amazing. Thanks Joes resort for making our stay great.

You can walk along the beach to other restaurants where you can try their food. Else, there are good places within 10 mins walk. It's a lovely place to be in Unawatana

Nice balcony overlooking the private beach, rooftop pool, nice setting for relaxing

The rooms are small but u shouldn't be bothered with it because half of the time u would be on the beach this hotel has. It has private beach where u can just walk in at any time

The water over there isn't calm but u will enjoy the beach experience this hotel provides. The food was also good and did catered to vegetarian as well. The options provided for one day was good and can be improved upon

A wonderful place to stay, lovely room, great a/c, fan and shower, short stroll to the beach, nearby restaurants. Breakfast is excellent, perfectly served, nothing too much trouble

There's construction going on nearby so afternoon nap can be interrupted. The beach near the hotel is wonderful, you can see fishermen working and the few restaurants serve dinner

Late review! A nice place in Trinco. The premises were in a good location and the sea is a minute away. Aunty and Uncle were super friendly and helpful. We ordered Sri Lankan breakfast as well as English breakfast

The rooms were clean and well-organized. Overall, a good place to stay in Trinco

I like his sharing of his stories and chatting causally about his life. My room is at the top floor, no lift, and air-con. It has a viewing platform to a partial seaview

Hotel owners were a lovely couple. Feeding the stray dogs and they own a cat and a cute puppy at the hotel. Jacob the co-owner is a very experienced hotelier

The rooms are small, musty, have hardly any power outlets, and not even a window. The towels were horribly dirty. The breakfast tables and the loungers on the beach are completely broken and uncomfortable

This place is by far the best. Absolutely brillaint. You open the back door to a beautiful beach. In the night the owner will help you set up a fire. Play some music and soack in the fresh air.

Very friendly owner and directly at the Beach. Nice to relax or to go for a snorkeling tour. Very cozy and charming place. If we come back to Trincomalee we will stay again in Dyke Rest.

This place was right ON the beach. They have two balcony rooms that are great. Host is awesome and really accommodating! I also met several other travelers that were great.

Fantastic sea view with clean beach from the back yard. Value for money rooms.

Amazing location directly facing the Dutch Bay beach. Beach was not crowded and is the perfect spot for a swim and good view. Very friendly and helpful host who tried his best to make our stay safe and comfortable

Staff, location, food. Straight access to beach.

Excellent and attentive service even for our table of 8 - highly recommend sunset cocktails on their lounges by the beach. Extremely clean bathrooms and beautiful fun lively yet romantic atmosphere- absolutely recommend

Excellent! Came here with the kids instead of Kai ahangama and so glad we stayed local. Pool, service and food all excellent! Looks better than photos and great cocktails. Clean toilets and friendly staff

Rooms are spacious and well equipped and cleaned daily with supplies restocked, all rooms face beach but not necessarily have views due to the trees Breakfast has been good each morning, other foods ordered have been really good Staff really friendly and happy to assist This is our type of holiday accommodation approx 20 room, we don’t like the huge accommodation complex’s

It would be nice if they would reserve the best beach chairs for hotel guests but you need to get up early and reserve them with your towel

The hotel is in a great location on the beachfront, currently only about quarter of rooms available due to the others being upgraded, this has not been an issue with noise

Food is average though it’s a buffet. But this is better comparing to our previous visit 4 years back. The beach is well maintained and privacy assured. Overall experience was at a high note for a long holiday

Location is lovely. Atmosphere was relaxing. Rooms were tired.value was good . Cleanliness was excellent. Noice was fine sometimes dogs barking . Service was excellent. Highly recommend x

As part of our Sri Lankan family holiday, we stayed two nights at Ananthaya Passikudah. We were a large group of 11 including kids. It was a fantastic experience for all of us

The hotel is in a great location with stunning ocean views, making it a perfect place to relax. Our villa was spacious, luxurious, and clean, providing plenty of comfort for our stay

This resort was the definition of REST and RELAXATION! This resort was walking distance from the beach which didn’t have many strong waves. The water in the pool was also really warm

Huge thumbs up to the architects. Huge pool which gives direct access from the ground level rooms. The beach in front is swimmable and have many sunny and shady sports to sunbathe or relax in the shade under a tree

Nice foods, friendly staff, beautiful location near wide beach and a beautiful river, Absolutely amazing

Club Bentota is a nice hotel with a beautiful location and a very pleasant beach. The surroundings are relaxing and perfect for a peaceful getaway. The food was delicious, and we really enjoyed the variety and taste

The beach is really nice and secluded. The food buffet offered many options. Loved the fact that the hotel has a river on one side and the sea on the other. Lovely views and amazing hospitality

We had to face difficulties due to condensation in our room, but rest of our family had not faced similar issues in their rooms. I suggest one take the staff assistance for adjusting the room temperature

It was our second time visiting this hotel and it was just wonderful! We got a complimentary room upgrade as it was our anniversary. The staff went out of their way to make everything special for us

I have been part of working in kitchen team of tata motors company personal I feel to exilent working with those chef and specially thanks to chef Dilum chanuka who has verry kind and supportive
