Villa Atulya at Ocean's edge

Staff worked so hard to meet our expectation, had a very peaceful stay since we were the only guests there Locations has its own charm with access to the beach which we really enjoyed, pool was also very comfortable

The food presentation & flavors can improve, it didnt look like what they have advertized

Good looking property, good pool.

Lack of usable storage space, dirty shelves, grime on surfaces, staff sometimes not at hand when needed. Also mentioned several times that we are vegetarians and food with fish was served. Thankfully we checked before eating. Also, they only serve the srilankan breakfast one day, and the European on another, whether you like it or not so not really a choice for the guests.

Belle hotel, mais pas de plage

Mentionne devant de l ocean, mais pas que c est que de la roche devant

Oasi di calma e relax

Lovely beach location, fabulous views from our bedroom,

就在海边。风景很好。有个大阳台,能欣赏到美丽的海景。还有泳池。观鲸回来在退房吃早饭。离港口比较近，性价比较高。

离主街有点距离。吃东西没有那么方便。 当地TUTU车好像用不了打车软件。但是当地民宿靠海的好像基本都在巷子里，晚上走还是有点害怕 早餐的本地食物吃不惯😂

Habitación espaciosa y piscina muy agradable.

Mucha suciedad por falta de mantenimiento en la zona de la piscina. Tumbonas y sillas muy sucias por falta de cuidado, olor a desagüe en el baño de la habitación. Hay mucho personal pero no es eficiente. Caro para el mantenimiento que tiene, descuidado.

It's an antic srilankan villa comprising 5 Villa each in both the buildings. The less number of rooms adds up to your privacy and calmness. It's a sea facing villa but one can't swim due to high tide and rocky terrain. Mirrissa beach is just 2kms away. Overall we had a great stay

Breakfast options could be enhanced. It gets boring for people staying for more days.

Nice comfortable room with high end wooden furniture. Beautiful swimming pool. Breakfast was better than average Sri Lankan breakfast, but still way too much food and too much bread.

The bathroom had an interesting smell. The beach is not suitable for swimming or even sitting on as it is too rocky.

The property looks nice from the outside and is located in a scenic area.

When we arrived, there was a very strong mould/musty smell, especially in the bathroom. We informed the staff immediately, but they only sprayed room freshener, which did not resolve the issue. We had to step out and returned late at night, and by then there was no practical option to change rooms. It ended up being one of the most uncomfortable nights I’ve had, and rather than argue with staff late at night, we were forced to just push through the night. The next morning, I raised the issue again and showed photos, explaining that this is not acceptable for any room, particularly when paying a premium price. A discount of LKR 7,000 was offered, but this felt like a temporary fix rather than a real solution. If the room was in this condition, it should not have been sold in the first place!! I had booked this stay to celebrate my birthday, so this was especially disappointing. While the property may look beautiful from afar, once you look closer it is clear that maintenance and cleanliness are lacking. A mould-infested room cannot be justified with a discount, and until these issues are properly addressed, I would not recommend this property.

Breakfast was lovely.Very quiet tranquil place 5 mins by tuk tuk to Mirissa.

Everything

Nothing

Situation au calme et exceptionnelle au bord de la plage. Piscine propre. Petit déjeuner ok rien d'extraordinaire.

Hôtel géré par des sympathiques jeunes hommes dans la vingtaine qui ne parlent pas anglais et qui ne ont pas du tout renseigner sur les lieux etc.. Pas de room cleaning.

La tranquillità del luogo, la camera spaziosa con un bagno enorme e soffione doccia una goduria. L’addormentato con il suono delle onde del mare. La buona colazione.

Fantastisk villa med havutsikt,hvis man elsker å ha privat og fredelig Hotel så den er den helt unik. Men alle beste med denne hotellet var personal,helt fantastisk.

We had a great stay. The rooms were very clean and offered a lovely sea view. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made our experience even better.

Extrem entspannend. Super pool. Toller blick. Toller Garten. Sehr sauber. Großes Bad. Tolles Essen vor Ort. Super nettes Team.

Villa Coloniale , affascinante e ben tenuta. Direttamente sul mare con un bel giardino e piscina. Divani e poltrone a disposizione Tutti i locali sono ben puliti

Tutto bene

Nos gustó mucho, súper tranquilo y espacioso

Tranquility

Cant think of anything.

Very attentive, friendly, and caring staff, who took great care of meal prep for our baby and children, accommodating special requests and ensuring we all were comfortable. The room was also spacious, and comfortable. Meals were excellent, especially the Sri Lankan curry. Perfect for disconnecting and relaxing.

Unfortunately, while the property is on the coast, the beach is not swimmable, full of rocks, and thus not one to spend time on. Its fun for a walk to see the crabs but beyond that, one needs to take a tuk tuk to Mirisa which is not too far (5-10mins) to enjoy the beach (and other activities).

Everything was fabulous - the wonderful team, the space itself, the design of the exceedingly spacious rooms, the breakfasts, the ocean view.

Absolutely nothing

Such a beautiful place with view of the ocean and sound of waves to sleep to. Literally on the shore.

Could have a slightly larger menu. Slightly slow service, but nothing really bad.

Location, style, equipment , sea view:)

The stuff doesn’t speak English and they don’t change towels.

Great place, very large comfy room and great view on the garden and ocean! Staff really tries to be helpful and made our stay as pleasant as possible.

Staff are very friendly, but hardly speak English. Quite a few times our breakfast was forgotten, and we had to (again) ask for it.

It’s an absolutely beautiful property with the best views. We got the room on the first floor and the view of the sea was best thing to wake up to in the morning. The staff is super helpful and friendly! They adjusted the breakfast timing for us and served it at 130pm as we had a whale watching tour in the morning! They arranged a tuk tuk for us to go to places and were always super responsive!

It is definitely a bit expensive!

Architecture, design, comfort. Good breakfast and very helpful staff.

The breakfast were good and the menus offered a good selection.

It was a shame the sunlounger mattresses were not removed during torrential rain as they then leaked water soaking swim towels! but appreciate the extraordinary weather was not the norm 😣 . I believe massages were available but think more advice on what facilities were available would be good.

La piscina para nosotras solas, la habitación muy bonita, el desayuno estaba muy rico y había variedad para elegir

Nada

So much, first of all amazing views from breakfast spot and also bedroom. Location was amazing. Away from hustle and bustle. Loved that it felt like a private villa. You should request an upstairs room if you have, it really feels like you have the place to yourself. The way they do breakfast is amazing , if you get an upstairs room they do it right outside your room on your balcony. Tried other stuff on the menu too for lunch and dinner and it was good.

The cleanliness wasn’t terrible but I’m a clean freak so would have liked a bit cleaner. The rooms were cleaner than the communal areas. The AC didn’t really work on our first few nights so it was hot as hell but they did fix it on our last night. Also WiFi could definitely improve. Also if they had a small library or some board games it would be a great little addition!

Booked the villa due to its location, direct access to the beach. Mirissa harbour is just 7 min away for whale watching. Property is super clean and the staff makes sure of proper hygiene and cleanliness time to time. The villa has an infinity pool overlooking the ocean. Fresh water spouting over the surface to keep the water clean at all times. Staff is super warm, kind and polite and make sure of providing every kind of comfort and provision required during stay. I can say they can go out of their way to provide for a comfortable stay for their guests. Very humble and down to earth. Food is provided a la carte, but own preference can be requested too and they are kind enough to prepare the same.

Staff were brilliant and very accommodating. Location was great, nearby restaurants and snorkelling centre. Peaceful in July. Excellent selection from the menu.

Nothing

Magnifique villa qui par chance a été juste pour nous 3!! Nous avions carrément une piscine privée face à l'océan. Le personnel est disponible et très serviable. Il faut les contacter en appuyant sur une sonnette. Hôtel + piscine très propre. On a passé 4 jours magiques. Nous n'avons pas testé les menus mais juste les sandwichs à midi car nous mangions à Mirissa le soir. Il n'est pas possible de se baigner juste devant l'hôtel mais il y a quelques bassins naturels à 2 min. Sinon les plages se trouvent à environ 20 min de marche. Très belle balade!! Le personnel organise le tuk-tuk pour se rendre en ville + navette aéroport. Je recommande vivement cet hôtel.

Rien!

Good

Good

Aesthetically pleasing and spacious Bawa inspired villas. 2 pools, pristine sea, good food and service. Appreciate the lack of dogs. Quiet respite from barking and unhygenic spaces.

Please refuse the use of single-use plastic. Plastic straws and water bottles are completely unnecessary. Let's work together to keep Sri Lanka beautiful.

Privacy ! Location willingness and hospitality of the staff

Bathroom wasn't in working condition. We had to change rooms and that too we had to ask. Shower head just fell ! Even the room we moved too the bathroom door cldnt be locked

We had 4 rooms booked and had the entire villa to ourselves and the villa staff were very accommodating - even our very late arrival (after 12 midnight) . Location is fantastic- right on the beach- rocky but you can walk along the rocks to sandy stretches . The Villa is walkable to attractions in Mirissa- including coconut tree hill and lovely little coves where we snorkelled with sea turtles. Short tuktuk ride to the main beach restaurant/ Bar strip which is lively during sunset/ evening.

Everything was as advertised- we didn’t have any issues.

We held a yoga retreat here and it really was the perfect venue! Really stunning property with wonderful staff, and so much space even though all the rooms were occupied. Slept like a baby with the sound of the ocean and we practiced watching the waves :)

Loved the friendly staff, great location and large rooms.pool was also wonderful

Nothing to dislike

Beautiful property. Beach front. You can't swim on the beach though like most beaches in Lanka. Wonderful breakfast. The staff can't be seen anywhere but are always there.

Some of the wooden furniture has termites in them. There is a weird smell as you enter the property which sort of lingers around.

A beautiful colonial villa in Mirissa for some much needed calm and relaxation. The rooms are spacious and clean, the lawn and pool are great to chill by with the sound of crashing waves in the background, service is very good and food served is also great. The location is a bit away from main Mirissa so you'll need a tuktuk or scooty to get in and out easily (unless you don't mind walking 30min), but depends what you want - if you need close access to main Mirissa then it's far, but if you want to stay away from main Mirissa then it's the right distance. Tuktuks are easily available where the staff will order for you - they often gave us better rates!

Great location…. The room was spotless and the staff friendly and accommodating. We stayed for one night but wished we had stayed longer. Will definitely come back

Nothing to report

Villa Atulya is a charming property with a great view across the Indian Ocean.

The property could be better maintained. For example the curtains in our bedroom were significantly stained and dirty, it would have been a simple fix to put them in a washing machine. The staff were very sweet and kind but could benefit from more training as they got orders mixed up and wrong.

What a stunning place. The accommodation was 1st class and the view of the ocean fabulous. Loved the colonial style furniture and decor was very tastefully done. The food was very tasty. Isham and his team looked after us so well always with a smile. Special place.

Could have provided more sun loungers and umbrellas for shade. Also board games which would have been appreciated as the weather turned and it poured with rain for most of our stay.

Beautiful garden,decor and building. Rock pool nearby where you could bathe when tide out

The location is peaceful. The property is nice with a rustic feel. Large rooms with a good view , a nice common balcony. The pool was clean. Staff was accommodating but there was a language barrier and requests were not fully understood. The beach is rocky, good for a stroll, can't swim.

Limited breakfast and exorbitantly priced menu.

Bed and pillows were comfortable. Bathroom big. Location was good, the beach had a little lagoon which was perfect for my kids. Cot provided was comfortable.

I had lunch and dinner at the property and food were really expensive compared to other hotels I stayed in Sri Lanka. A plate in other hotels were around $1200 and there was almost $3000. For dinner in the menu said chicken drumsticks and it was a shape of drumsticks and did not taste like chicken at all. Breakfast was ok. Each time we ordered a meal they send a bottle of water without me asking, ( I thought it was complementary) I found out at the end on my bill. You can’t add things on the order that people did not ask for it and charge without letting them know.

Nice old style house with interesting antique furniture and modern art on the walls. Nice pool and pleasant garden

The staff were very discreet, sometimes too discreet, however if you needed someone you could press the service bell and a member of staff would appear. The breakfast was Ok , nothing special and the food could sit uncleared on the table for many hours . We stayed three nights and despite the leaflet in our room which said that room would be serviced on day two this never happened

This place is perfect, loved everything about the property.

Rooms were amazing

Somebody was playing high volume music at midnight and staff didn’t intervene

Amazing place close to the beach and the place is made of traditional furniture and materials. The food was also very good

Room service is a little bit slow, you need to order everything a long time in advance.

Gorgeous villa, right by the beach. It’s not for swimming in but lovely to take a stroll. Staff were friendly, accommodating and even organised a little birthday cake for my partner which I really appreciated. Food was delicious, well prepared. We even spoke to the chef and got to say thank you for the yummy crab dish. Giant rooms, plenty of space and all round good atmosphere. Will happily return again

Can’t think of anything

Watching the endlessly crashing waves- from the large number of seating options Quiet and tranquil atmosphere at the property Outstanding breakfast options Lovely helpful staff

The pictures were not accurate because the resort is better than shown on the photos. Nice welcome, good staff and beautiful rooms. Sea very close but a fence divide the property from the beach. Good food. Nice swimming pool, simple but pleasant set up of the common areas.

The pictures were not accurate because the resort is better than shown on the photos. Fence (a door can be open) cutting the sea off the property. Narrow access road not very well displayed. A bit expensive compared to the hundreds of accommodation available in the area, but good quality for money

This hotel is steeped in Sri Lankan history. It looks like an old colonial mansion equipped with antique furniture. All the rooms overlook a magnificent garden located just in front of the ocean... amazing. Our room, at the ground flour, was equipped with a canopy bed. There was a personnal garden and the bathroom was open to the external The personnal is very kind and attentive.

Only the wall socket in the bathroom, to connect the hairdryer, didn't work properly and some stains on bed linen

I liked the pool the most

Nothing

The rooms , staff & location were very nice

The food was overpriced & not upto the mark

The view is excellent, the room was comfortable and tastefully decorated, lot of lounging furniture outside.

It's quite far from beaches, restaurants, shops, surfing and most attractions. We woke up two-three times every night because of dogs' barking super loudly.

Good sea facing and antique look

Nice for relaxation

Two big pools. Big garden. Big rooms. Big area with space to play and relax. Friendly personnel. Calm place.

A magical, quirky place with big rooms, lots of local art on the walls, friendly staffing and beautiful views of the waves. Perfect for relaxing if you’ve just had a hectic itinerary travelling round Sri Lanka. Me and 3 friends had one of the villas to ourselves which was bliss. Close to the town centre.

The location was quiet, clean and pretty. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was great.

Absolutely stunning villa interiors and the staff was amazing .

The villa is super nice, the decoration, very nice garden and swimmingpool.. very nice view. it’s in front of the sea. the breakfast is very good

The service was a little bit absent. No explanations or any contact with clients. No room service in three days without any explanation.

We loved Villa Atulya. It’s an impressive, stylish property with a great garden and pool facing the sea. Our room and the communal areas were large and comfortable, breakfast was very good as was dinner we had on both nights. Ishan and the staff were excellent - attentive without being overbearing. The beach outside is nice but too rocky to be usable and Marissa beach is a good 20 minute walk but, all in all, this is a small price to pay to stay a in such a lovely property

Nothing

The villa itself is very authentic and pleasant. The view is incredible. Breakfast was fine.

Cleaning during our stay wasn’t done, dinner was not well cooked, dirty plates stayed in the common areas till morning after guests had their dinners.

Big bedrooms, comfortable beds, friendly staff

Laid back attitude of staff, difficult to get them when you needed them, one bathroom looked a bit grotty

Staff very friendly and helpful, the food was excellent

It would be nice to have the room cleaned daily

Location, Architecture,ambience,food,pool, staff

Wifi was slow

Simple elegance fronting a rocky beach. Peaceful and clean property. Breakfast and dinner were great. 5-star quality and presentation. Reasonable cost. And of course the staff. Courteous, friendly and professional. Would highly recommend this hotel. We'll be back

Villa is lovely, has the vibe of a typical Sri Lankan home. Location is perfect, nice and quiet and overlooking the beach. Staff were always available to help with anything you asked them for.

Internet worked for the most part but did cut out a few times and we would have to switch between connecting to one of 4 different routers depending on which one was available. A storm caused a power cut while we were there. It only lasted a few seconds but they had issues with getting the power back for our side of the villa after that.

We liked their hospitality and food. Overall the property was good and spacious. We felt a heritage sense. A clean pool to relax.

No easy access to the beach.

Located on a quiet ocean front area, the resort is wide and plenty of space and not compact like other resorts in the busier area and it got a nice pool too. Bathroom is quite huge, i wish a bit of space was allocated for a seating area. Breakfast could be improved but its ok.

Its a bit far off from beaches for swimming which we knew already but for a week stay, we spent quite a lot of money for taking tuk tuk everytime. The room doesn't have a comfortable seating area to read and with the humidity outside it could have been nice just to stay in the room to cool off. Communication with staffs is a bit difficult at times.
