Excellent service, friendly staff and excellent pool relaxation area!
All very good!
Bellissima struttura: pulizia impeccabile e cura di ogni dettaglio, sia della camera che degli spazi comuni.
Il prezzo di alcuni servizi extra risulta sopra la media
That it felt like home. Welcomed and taken care off.
Nothing
The property , pool , rooms , clean and all thought about. The staff who work there , the property manager Priya was very helpful and kind.
Food menu was limited. Didn’t like the pasta , lacked local cuisine options.
Nous avons tout aimé, la décoration est magnifique jusque dans les moindres détails, c’est calme, confortable, le personnel est adorable et la nourriture très bonne Un vrai havre de paix

The hotel surroundings are so clean, relaxing and picture-perfect. Breakfast each morning was generous (juice, coffee and a meal of your choice) while overlooking the beautiful grounds. We ate here one evening and the food was impeccable. We also ended each day with a wine, tiramisu and an evening swim. The staff were very helpful and happily organised tuk-tuks into town (a 5-minute drive). It truly felt like an oasis, and I would highly recommend it. The room was very clean and serviced each day. Each room also had its own filtered water system. We also booked in to their yoga over the paddy fields which I highly recomend when you stay! Perfect stay to unwind and relax.

Alles was prachtig, elk detail was over nagedacht. Alsof je in een echte droom leefde.
We hadden meer verwacht van de omgeving, maar juist het verblijf maakte alles goed. We zouden zeker terugkomen! Casa Tikiri is echt een 10/10.
Stunning attention to detail
Would have preferred a duvet instead of a flat sheet to sleep, but the staff did give extra blankets
Very very very nice and everything is perfect. The staff are amazing laterally best hotel ever

Beautiful Hotel with a very special design located in the middle of a coconut tree oasis and 5 minutes walk from Kabalana beach. The rooms are cozy beautiful and bed very comfortable. Loved the outdoor shower. Everything is nicely curated in details and this is what really makes the difference. I could not think to go out to eat because food at Casa Tikiri was so far the best food I have eaten within my 3 weeks in Srilanka. The Italian chef Maurizio is very talented ( you must try his Paccheri and the pumpkin dish ) Breakfast was also wonderful, best scramble eggs and smoothie bowl. The owners are very friendly and they are doing a great job to keep this place running maintaining a high quality, the staff is really nice.
Once you eat here you set your expectations very high so when you will go to eat in other places you will miss the food from casa Tikiri :D.
Accueil sans faute, avec un personnel très discret. L’établissement est un réel havre de paix. Les chambres sont décorées avec goût et la literie est excellente. Un plaisir de se réveiller tous les matins dans un si bel endroit.
Les chambres bien décorées, propres, confortables Espace piscine très agréable
Petit dej assez léger Petite boutique sympa mais prix exorbitants pour le pays
A truly tranquil beautiful hideaway, yet close to the wonderful beach at Kabalana. This incredibly chic and stylish hotel blew our minds. Alice and Stefano run a brilliant team and were available to help when our flights were cancelled and we needed to stay longer. The breakfasts were delightful and the restaurant excellent, brilliantly curated menu and great cocktails. If you’re looking for an indulgent relaxed retreat this is the place.
Small thing but I like a fridge in the rooms, to keep drinks in.
It’s the most aesthetically pleasing hotel I’ve ever stayed at, every detail feels thought out, the staff could not be more helpful and overall this is my favourite place I’ve ever stayed. The colour schemes are on point and beautiful, the outside shower is so cool. I couldn’t get enough of this place, and we did yoga every morning at the other property with all 3 sessions being so different and all some of the best sessions I’ve ever had. This place will calm your entire body & soul and leave you feeling refreshed & renewed.
Only that we didn’t have longer here.
Très bel hotel et surtout un excellent service. Nous avons aussi participé à des cours de yoga et de pilates, très bien. 15 minutes à pied de la plage.
Un soggiorno stupendo. Come chiudere la vacanza nel migliore dei modi. A casa tikiri non puoi far altro che rilassarti. Nessuna distrazione, nessun rumore. Drinks ottimo. I ragazzi sono tutti splendidi.

Amazingly beautiful place
The hotel is absolutely beautiful, and the food was excellent. The setting is lovely and clearly well maintained.
Unfortunately, the overall service and communication were not smooth at all, especially considering the price. When we arrived to check in after leaving our luggage earlier, the staff seemed confused and repeatedly asked for our room number, which we obviously did not have yet. This set the tone for the stay. Throughout our visit, most interactions felt difficult and awkward, with frequent misunderstandings. Even very simple requests did not feel natural: for example, asking for a tea during dinner felt as if we were requesting something unusual or complicated. The service was very minimal and not proactive. Basic things, such as offering water or assistance, were never anticipated. Although the owners were present, they never came to greet us, which felt disappointing for a hotel of this standard. At check-out, no one offered to help with our luggage despite the heat, and once again the interaction felt unnecessarily confusing. A beautiful hotel with great food, but a lack of fluidity and hospitality that clearly impacted the experience.
Amazing location, stunningly decorated and the pool area is so relaxing. The staff couldn’t be more helpful.
Would’ve preferred to have some more local delicacies on the menu as the Sri Lankan breakfast was amazing but that was it!
Beautiful , tasteful, calm hotel, we loved it, nice staff, wonderful garden and pool
It’s stunning. The decor is lovely and modern.
Nada
By far the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in, in my life.l and probably will be ever. The decor is absolutely gorgeous, the staff are so kind, the pool area has so many lounging options, I had the ability to work in the communal space. It just had everything needed not to leave. The breakfast was lovely & I also had the best ragú I’ve probably ever had in the evening too.
There’s nothing to dislike!!
The decoration and thought fullness of the little details in Casa Tikiri made this place feel like a home from home. Beautiful local sourced craftsmanship for soft furnishings and art throughout. The room was spacious and comfortable, good functioning fan and air conditioning. Soft bedding and towels and a stunning outdoor shower that felt like you were showing in the jungle. The staff were exceptional, helpful and always smiling. The dining setting is gorgeous and comfortable, breakfast is fresh and tasty. I also visited the sister hotel Paddy Lodge to practice yoga twice. The teacher was very good and the environment there equally as welcoming. The free tuktuk between properties was a simple but nice touch for guests. I can tell the owners really poured their heart and soul into this place and want to continue to improve it. Thanks Alice and Stefano! We will absolutely return.
The dinner was "okay" and nothing special, the flavours were a bit bland and the portions were quite small. We left hungry even after starter main and a desert. However, it was priced like a mid- high range European dinner, much more expensive than most other places we ate (including the upmarket ones) but sadly it didn't meet that quality we expected. This main area could be most improved to make the premium prices worth it.
Een prachtig verblijf met heerlijk Italiaans eten. We hebben een fijne yogales gevolgd en de bedden zijn heerlijk comfortabel. Een ontspannen en sfeervolle plek om te verblijven.
De prijzen zijn iets hoger in vergelijking met andere accommodaties in de omgeving, maar de kwaliteit en de mooie uitstraling maken dit goed.
Absolutely beautiful. The pictures do not do it justice. The staff were very helpful. The room and shared spaces were amazing. It was so peaceful.

L’endroit magique et personnel incroyable
A decoração do hotel é incrível, pensada em cada detalhe. Quarto pequeno mas muito confortável e com tudo o que é necessário. O pequeno-almoço é excelente! Ótimas opções de almoço e jantar. Apenas a 5 minutos de mota da zona principal de Ahangama e a 3 minutos da praia.
Absolutely beautiful place! You can go to their other property to do yoga in the morning and have a coffee. The rooms are so well designed. Every detail has been thought of; from the signs, to the furniture. We really enjoyed our stay. It’s very nice that their is a restaurant as well. Especially since it was rainy, we could still enjoy the facilities at the hotel. Very sweet staff!
A lot of mosquitoes but the hotel can’t help that!
Dit is in deze prijsklasse echt één van de mooiste verblijven die wij hebben gekend in Sri Lanka. Eigenlijk vonden we het verblijf het fijnste aan ons bezoek aan Ahangama! Verder was alles heel goed verzorgd en schoon en er ontbrak je aan niets! Wat ook geweldig (lekker) is, is het a la carte ontbijt!! Wij hebben geen avondmaaltijd in het hotel genuttigd, maar als ik het mocht overdoen, zou ik dat zeker proberen! Want als we op het ontbijt afgaan was de keuken erg goed en elders in Ahangama hebben we (achteraf gezien) niet echt lekker gegeten.
Wij zijn een dagje kort aan het strand geweest voor een surfles. De handdoeken die je mee kon nemen naar het strand waren tegen een betaling van 1000 LKR per stuk. Gezien de prijs die je voor het verblijf betaalt, vonden wij dit niet gepast.
Very beautiful boutique hotel calm and zen nested between the palm trees of Ahangama , 3 minutes away from the center and beach. Staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. The owners warm hospitality was exceptional. Not to forget they re mouthwatering dinner cooked by their Italian chef , a perfectly aldente pasta with exotic spices and flavors.
Prachtige inrichting, goed verzorgd, enorm comfortabel en rustig.
We waren wel een beetje overdonderd door de hoeveelheid regels en uitzonderingen in vergelijking met de rest van Sri lanka. Zelfs voor een strandhanddoek moet je betalen. Deels allemaal begrijpelijk, maar voor deze bedragen verwacht ik iets meer flexibiliteit.
El personal es muy amable, los desayunos están muy ricos, y el hotel es muy bonito.
El wifi va fatal, está un poco alejado. Cenamos una noche en el restaurante y estaba todo muy bueno pero las raciones eran pequeñas para el precio que tenían.
Wat een fantastisch verblijf hebben we gehad bij Casa Tikiri. In dit hotel is aan alles gedacht! Personeel is vriendelijk en meedenkend. Ik zou deze accommodatie absoluut aan iedereen aanraden.
Absolutely stunning boutique hotel tucked away in a lovely peaceful location but still close enough to the action in ahangama! The interiors of the room and the outdoor bathroom are so tastefully designed and really dreamy!! All of the food and drinks we had over our five days were consistently fantastic! Huge credit to the owners and also their team for what they have created here as it truly did feel like our casa for the five days and we can’t wait to come back!
Todo!! Increíble!! Es el mejor hotel donde hemos estado en Sri Lanka. Es un pequeño oasis en medio del caos. Perfecto para desconectar y descansar. Las instalaciones son increíbles, repetirá mil veces. El personal muy agradable y la comida del restaurante, buenísima. Nuestra habitación era cómoda y preciosa. La zona de la piscina te invita a quedarte y relajarte. Una maravilla!
Alles is mooi! Het ziet er prachtig uit, de kamer is uitgerust met allemaal handige snufjes (waaronder een waterdispenser, zelfs een emergency knop), de bedden en kussens lagen héérlijk! Alles is stijlvol ingericht. Het zwembad en de groene tuin zijn de kers op de taart. Je zit in een heel rustig deel dichtbij Ahangama. Je kan ook een yoga class doen bij de andere lounge iets verderop.
Het enige minpuntje vonden wij dat je geen eten&drinken van buitenaf mag nuttigen bij het zwembad.
Casa Tikiri delivered the ambience, the relaxation, the luxury, the jungle, the service, and the food!! … all made to look so simple… but clearly so well thought out and executed. I got the R&R that I so needed - and will be telling my friends to also go and stay.
They had thought of everything and more. So nothing.
I stayed at Casa Tikiri for 2 nights and had such a lovely experience. The hotel is beautifully designed and peaceful. Dinner here was excellent, and the breakfast each morning was so fresh and healthy—it really stood out. The whole place has a warm, welcoming vibe that makes it easy to relax. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Ahangama!
Nada más entrar a este lugar, me enamoré. Está todo decorado con un gusto exquisito, muy nuevo y moderno. El entorno es espectacular y está perfectamente ubicado a pocos minutos de la calle principal de Ahangama. El staff fue súper amable y atento, y la comida estaba deliciosa. Cuentan además con juegos de mesa y diversos entretenimientos para pasar un rato agradable. El lugar invita a descansar, desconectar y relajarse. La habitación muy cómoda y el baño con un encanto divino.
dekorasyon, sessizlik ve rahatlık şahaneydi. personel çok tatlı ve yardımcıydı.
tavsiye olarak otel içi fiyatlar biraz daha uygun olsa daha iyi olabilir.
Wat een paradijs! Er is oog voor detail en de service straalt ervaring en vakmanschap uit! Wat een heerlijke plek om uit te rusten en te genieten van al het moois! Je voelt je hier Alice in Wonderland! Het ontbijt was heerlijk en keuze zat! Ook de bediening was top. Als kers op de taart heb ik mooie cadeautjes gekocht in het winkeltje.
helemaal niets! Volgende keer komen we langer logeren ;-)
Struttura molto bella, ambiente rilassato e ricercato, stanze con dettagli interessanti. Le stanze sono abbastanza grandi e hanno dei bagni molto belli. La colazione è ottima e la posizione è abbastanza comoda essendo vicino alla spiaggia ma lontana dal caos.
A peaceful retreat and a beautifully curated space to find calm and comfort. Brilliant staff who were very helpful. Lovely pool with comfy loungers. Great WiFi. Understated casual luxury, a great place to unwind. Easy access to all towns along the south coast. Water cooler in the room felt like a real luxury after buying bottles of water throughout our 2 weeks of travel around Sri Lanka!! Brilliant, tasty breakfasts which were beautifully presented.
Nothing!
Amazing. Every little details assemble in a grandiose experience.
Great place! Loved every minute here

I can confidently say this is a hidden gem. From the moment I arrived, the attention to detail was evident. The check-in process was smooth and welcoming, setting the tone for my entire stay. The team went above and beyond to ensure I felt at home, and their hospitality truly elevated my experience. The food was nothing short of excellent—each meal was a delightful journey for the taste buds. I cannot recommend this place enough to my friends who are planning to visit Sri Lanka. I hope to return in the future with my family to create even more wonderful memories. Any small request or question I had was met with immediate attention from the incredible team. They did everything possible to make my stay perfect, and for that, I am truly grateful. Thank you, Casa Tikiri, for an unforgettable experience!
Great stay and super nice boutique hotel. Surrounded by nature and with a nice interior. We even saw monkeys and iguanas in the garden.
A bit expensive compared to other accommodations in Sri Lanka
We had a fantastic stay at Casa Tikiri and were genuinely sad to leave. The pool area is absolutely beautiful — a peaceful, relaxing space that we really enjoyed. Our room was also lovely, with a particularly special touch being the outdoor shower complete with a palm tree, which made it feel even more unique. The restaurant was excellent, offering delicious breakfasts and evening meals, all very reasonably priced. What really made our stay stand out, however, was the staff. Everyone was welcoming, friendly, and always ready to help, making us feel completely at home. A special mention to Sarit, who we had the pleasure of speaking with often — he made our experience even more memorable. We would absolutely recommend Casa Tikiri and hope to return in the future.
Loved the cute little rooms. The bed was so comfy. Loved the outdoor bathrooms. The pool and gardens were super cute. The guys working at the property were polite, helpful and so attentive. My only two recommendations would be: 1. Install safety deposit boxes in your rooms 2. Add proper Italian pizza to your menu 🙂
Casa Tikiri was by far the best experience we had in Sri Lanka. From the moment we arrived, the staff and owners made us feel incredibly welcome — warm, attentive, and always helpful. The pool area was a true oasis. While relaxing there, we even spotted monkeys in the trees. The peaceful atmosphere was exactly what we needed to unwind. It was easy to rent a scooter directly through the accommodation, which made exploring the area super convenient. We can’t recommend Casa Tikiri enough — it’s a little paradise that made our trip unforgettable.
Casa Tikiri was absolutely beautiful, the property has been done to a very high standard and we felt it was super relaxing and peaceful. The owners are extremely friendly and approachable and the staff were incredible friendly and helpful. The breakfast was so delicious everyday and had lots of choice.
Slightly further away from town than we expected but it’s very quiet which is a big plus. The walk is around 25 minutes into town but tuktuk are very cheap and easy to find.
Just perfection
Casa Tikiri is an absolute gem in Sri Lanka, blending sophisticated tropical design with a charming pink palette. Every corner exudes style, from the chic decor to the thoughtfully curated details. The staff is incredibly warm and attentive, making the experience even more special. The food is a highlight—delicious and fresh, with the smoothie bowls being an absolute must-try. A perfect retreat for those who appreciate beauty and comfort. Highly recommended!
Our stay at this hotel was fantastic. The food and cocktails were absolutely outstanding, easily one of the highlights of our visit. The hotel itself is stunning, with a modern, stylish design that creates a welcoming and luxurious atmosphere. The room was very comfortable, with a unique outdoor bathroom that added a special touch to the experience. The staff were incredibly attentive and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. Overall, this is an exceptional hotel that we highly recommend for its comfort, amazing food, and impeccable design. It’s truly a memorable experience with just a few small details that could make it perfect.
The only minor detail that could be improved is the water dispenser in the room. While practical, it didn’t quite match the beautiful aesthetic of the rest of the hotel. A small Smeg mini fridge, for example, to complement the Smeg kettle already in the room, would have been a better fit and maintained the room’s visual harmony.
Such a lovely Gem, the attention to details here really make it special. Peaceful spot and it a great location for those looking to learn how to surf. The Italian food options were top notch!
This was a treat for me after traveling for the last 6 months. I only stayed 2 nights but wish it was longer. Very comfortable bed, beautiful staff, clean, delicious breakfast, outdoor shower, peaceful environment. Beautifully tropical gardens. I stayed in number 1, one of the smaller room options and it was perfect for this solo traveler.
The cutest location. Such a beautiful garden, including a very clean pool and comfortable seating. The food is also delicious!
Room number 1 is a bit noisy and dark as it’s near the entrance with people coming in and leaving at midnight times.
Beautiful place and the personnel was super friendly as well. We loved every minute here.
Beautiful place with clean, cozy and comfortable rooms! Loved everything about it and the pool area is super relaxing!
I recently had the pleasure of staying at a stunning adults-only hotel in Ahangama, Sri Lanka, and it was nothing short of perfect. Traveling alone can sometimes be daunting, but from the moment I arrived, I felt right at home, thanks to the warm hospitality of the young couple who manage this gem of a hotel. The property itself is an oasis of tranquility. Tastefully designed with a keen eye for detail, every corner of the hotel exudes a sense of peace and relaxation. The couple who run the hotel have poured their hearts into creating a space that is both luxurious and welcoming, making it an ideal spot for solo travelers seeking a retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. What truly sets this hotel apart is the genuine warmth and friendliness of the hosts. They went out of their way to ensure that my stay was comfortable, offering personalized recommendations for local spots to explore and even sharing stories about the area that made me appreciate the beauty of Sri Lanka even more. Their passion for what they do is evident in every aspect of the hotel, from the immaculate rooms to the delicious, thoughtfully-prepared meals. The location is also fantastic—nestled in the serene surroundings of Ahangama, it’s a perfect base for exploring the southern coast of Sri Lanka. Whether you’re looking to surf, enjoy some yoga, or simply relax by the beach, this hotel provides the perfect backdrop. In summary, this hotel is a true paradise for those seeking a peaceful escape. The combination of a beautifully curated environment, exceptional service, and the personal touch of the wonderful hosts makes it an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend it to anyone traveling solo or looking for a serene adults-only getaway in Sri Lanka. I can’t wait to return!

Food, staff, accomodation, everything
Rooms are beautiful, especially the bathrooms which are stunning. Staff super helpful and food great. Loads of choice for the free breakfast. So many comfy seating options around a lovely pool.
Our room felt like a bit of an afterthought. Squeezed by the car park.
Beautiful hotel. The attention to detail in the hotel design was exceptional. Lovely staff as well.
Our stay in Casa Tikiri was fantastic. Every smallest detail of the decor complemented the whole experience. The outdoor shower provided a sense of event closer connection with nature. Good communication and friendly service. We hope to return there again.
