The local host Mich and his family are super helpful and hospitable. The food is delicious home-style cooking on site. It's ideal very quiet location away from cars and discos. At night total silence is bliss!

The room and bathroom were spacious, well designed and impeccably clean -- we really appreciated the attention to details and the additional functionality offered by the daybed, the small desk, the armchairs as we were travelling with our tween and also had to do some work while on vacation. The pool was lovely - it is a good size and none of us had red eyes from chlorination. The beach the property opens onto is gloriously clean and we had it entirely to ourselves most of the time. The cafe served up delicious food but their menu offers only a few Sri Lankan dishes. At our request, the kitchen was only too happy to whip up Sri Lankan meals -- prawn and fish curries, traditional coconut sambol, dhals, gotukala salad, okra salad, ridge gourd in coconut milk, star bean stir fry, eggplant gojju, Sri Lankan pancakes with ice cream, watalapam .... these were by far the best meals we enjoyed during the entirety of our holiday and we would heartily recommend visitors to Lankavatara sample the Sri Lankan meals. The staff are very well informed and helpful and did everything they could to make our stay a memorable one -- from organising tuktuks, catamaran rides in the Kalametiya Bird Sanctuary and turtle watching or airport transfers.

Cosy place with very friendly staff; Sapun the restaurant waiter literally made our mornings with his smile. Food was delicious and the spa massage was outstanding! If you want a chilled and private holiday, this is the place to go to! Thank you Good Karma! 🫶

Aruni and the Blue Ocean resort team were amazing from start to finish. We booked the ocean view room and it was so stunning that we decided to stay for a month. During that month, we got help from Aruni with booking lagoon tours, setting up a trip to both the safari parks that were nearby and a lot of other things. Whenever we needed tuktuks she would go out of her way to arrange it for us. One time I had to take a sick stray dog to the vet and she arranged everything with the vet and tuktuk to take me there, she even fed him and now he is there often and it was very sweet and she really did not have to do that. I cannot recommend Blue Ocean enough to anyone thinking about staying here. The beach is quiet and huge, there is so much wildlife nearby and there are a couple of restaurants nearby. Whenever we wanted to eat at the resort we would ask her in advance for some fish, lobsters and shrimp. On our last day they even had bbq which was very tasty. Thank you Blue Ocean team. We will definitely be back! And we already miss the two (now three haha) dogs Brownie, Emma and Cheese ball :D

We absolutely loved everything about this stay! Everything was tastfully decorated and the property is in general very well maintained. Gorgeous view of the ocean, pretty much a private beach and nice pool. But what made our last days of our honeymoon extra special was the exceptional service by the wonderful staff. We loved the combination of informality (always open for a chat and a joke) and their on-point service and eye for detail (remembering how you drink your coffee, allergies etc). They even surprised us with a romantic dinner at the beach front, surrounded by torches and flowers and decorated our room (again) while we were dining! Lakshan is a true towel artist!! Special thanks to Mithuu, Lakshan and Kamal for the exceptional service and making our last days extra special. Would recommend to everyone!!

    This house and the location is absolutely stunning. Quiet beach, beautiful pool and it actually feels like you in paradise. The housekeeper and cook were AMAZING. They cooked us delicious food, did our washing, went shopping with us and made our stay very special

    Lovely studio set just back from the beach in a quiet and beautiful area. It’s was so wonderful to be in such a quiet and serene location with the waves the only sound. Nish is a fantastic host and the food was both delicious and plentiful. He very kindly organised a Sri Lankan cookery class with him and his Mum, also got to eat it afterwards, yum. The beach is stunning and had a few plays in the waves although a little rough to swim. Also had a yoga class a few minutes away which was hard but felt great after.

    I will again choose this down-to-earth, authentic beach house in kalametiya over nearby resorts (with 2x, 3x times the price) for the very simple reason: you are the only guest staying here. There is only one room in this small patch of land. It makes you feel cozy and at home. There are helpers who would come in to clean or cook for you on request but mostly you will be left on your own. Perfect if you like privacy and want to stay longer here.

    Lovely villa with spacious bedrooms and a nice living room and terrace facing the pool and the garden. Very convenient with kids. The beach is almost all yours and pretty but the waves are huge so young kids cannot swim by themselves. Location is remote which is good and bad (beautiful nature but a bit far away from places to visit - except Udawalawe Park and Mulkirigala temple which are easy to reach and both amazing to visit). Philip and Dushantha are very nice and were adorable with the kids.
