Hotels with beach in Sri Lanka

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good stay, great staff — pool‑side dining rules a drawback The team at Marino Beach Hotel were absolutely amazing warm, attentive, and always ready to help, which made my stay really pleasant and comfortable

Had a great stay ! Everything was perfect and great selection in the buffet area and other restaurants. Amazing rooftop with pool and bar. Lovely staff both in reception / restaurants and Spa

This hotel is second to none in regard to friendly, welcoming staff & cleanliness. The hotel provides an amazing buffet breakfast. Comfy beds & large rooms.

The room was spacious and with great facilities, loved their bath lotion and speaker in the bathroom as well !! Definitely recommend

This isn’t a practical choice many guests want to relax and enjoy a light meal or snack while staying by the water

It's a good experience, I booked this 3rd. Time, good breakfast, excellent location, excellent stay, sea view

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

Its a beautiful 5 Star Hotel with all the expected requirements happily checked off. Great Food. Good Service. Friendly and helpful staff. There's also a spectacular view of the Colombo Sea from the sea-side rooms.

Great location, close to a lot of restaurants, cafes, bars, and One Galle Face Mall. The hotel is well kept albeit old. Beautiful and cozy lobby and cafe. The greatest of all is the staff

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Taj Samudra is the perfect home away from home whenever in Colombo. Will definitely stay here again

The hotel boasts excellent facilities, making it perfect for business travel. The breakfast was also quite enjoyable.

If I were to pick one to dine at, I would go for the Indian cuisine which generally never fails to please with authenticity of real Indian food

very good. very clean. definitely recommend. will stay there next time.

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

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 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

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

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 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

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

It had a ton of issues, such as a broken shower, terribly old and worn-out curtains, a moldy shower curtain, no hairdryer (you have to ask for one every time, but they always take it away), torn towels, a broken toilet, and so on

This hotel is one of the best I've stayed in. The hospitality is incredible and the staff are very friendly. The infinity pool is very relaxing and it has an amazing view. The cocktails at the pool bar are also excellent

When I last stayed here, I thought it had the MOST idyllic location. That coupled with the pride the employees took in keeping it shining and the very pleasant bedrooms and tasty food! It is a Hotel in a MILLION

Soaked in history and perfectly comfortable . Great food and lovely staff. Well located yet perfectly isolated Closenberg is a hidden gem that has beautiful views of the island . Very affordable rates

The hotel's exterior is simply wow-worthy. The location, ambiance, view, and atmosphere are 10 out of 10. The rooms are spacious, but we were given a truly awful room in terms of condition

Good Place to Relaxing. very clam place. Room price are reasonable. very recommended place. Food 08/10 Place 10/10 View 10/10 Parking Available Near to Galle Town Eco friendly superb Place

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

This was a very beautiful boutique hotel. We stayed in the top right hand suite in the main-house and wow it is truly superb. The staff are so friendly and professional and look after everyone and everything

This is a perfect colonial house that is both luxurious yet comfortable and elegant. The pool is huge and lovely and we swam regularly in the sea too. My daughter had the best surf straight out front

One thing I would describe Eraeliya it is unique & aesthetic, the owner has an eye for architecture and beauty each room is tastefully done. Love the manager, the front desk was so lovely and kind

Some of the best fish I’ve ever eaten was at Fish Point in Weligama. As basic a “restaurant” as it gets but perhaps the best meal of the holiday. The Erailya fish curry was a very close second

The pool was big enough to swim lengths and my son was chuffed that they had weights and an outside exercise area. We spent seven nights here and could happily have stayed 14

The local restaurant Silent Pup is great value and very good food however we loved the hotel curry sitting on our own balcony even more. Thank you for a wonderful stay

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

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

The hotel is located on the Bentota coastline in Sri Lanka. The balcony offers ocean views, and the fine sandy beach is perfect for swimming and strolling

The only thing I was very satisfied with was the view. There is a private beach right outside the door

The staff are friendly and welcoming, the breakfast is plentiful, and the ocean view rooms offer beautiful scenery!

Hotel and breakfast was amazing. Also, the view from my room was much better than I expected

Very nice hotel, great service, I love it! Highly recommended

Instead of one large bed there were two small beds pushed together, the flower bed at the exit from the room to the street was full of trash and without flowers, unlike the neighboring flower beds.

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 Great Vacation on the south of Sri Lanka,,,,,,,,, The hotel in the village of Kapparathotta is a very nice place to stay if you love ocean. The hotel has a small beach with corals

Stayed at We Are Surfers Surf Camp – a really cool place with a great team and a chill atmosphere for travelers. Great place to surf, relax, and feel at home near the sea

Experience Rooftop Restaurant is a must-go, guys! Awesome Sri Lankan rice & curry with a nice view from the rooftop. Simple, genuine, and super tasty!

The staff were so welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The best part? The pricing is unbeatable for the quality you get

The location is perfect — tucked away from the chaos of Weligama and Mirissa, yet still close enough to walk into town whenever you want. It gives you the best of both worlds: peace, nature, and easy access to everything

Also you can go along the rock wall to the left from the beach and climb the rock from which you can see beautiful vistas of open Indian ocean! So marvelous!!! Every day you can fall asleep and wake up with the sounds of waves! it's wonderful!!! The breakfasts are verygood with fruits, juices as well as creative! The rooms are really enough and so clean
