Parasol Doré - Boutique Hotel -

Sehr sauber, freundlich und die direkte Lage zum Meer.

Room Layout not so great if sharing with families

De locatie is perfect, fijn om de kuststreek te verkennen. De kamers waren ook zeer aangenaam eentje met zicht op zee eentje met een gezellige terras met planten. Het personeel het ontbijt alles was top!

Niks

The breakfast was great. Our appartment was perfect for a couple with 2 younger kids. The staff is the best we had in a long time. All together it felt a truly authentic experience (we stayed 4 nights), what we like most when travelling. Nice and touching to hear stories from the heart of Sri Lanka. Our kids really enjoyed the time here. There are good restaurants on walking distance. We enjoyed buying fish on the street. Snorkeling and swimming was a relaxing experience, on the next beach (Batheegama).

Not really related to the hotel or staff, but the beach a bit further is not so clean,. There's quite some plastic and garbage.

The location is wonderful, as part of a lovely beach, next to the sea

Nothing, it was all lovely. We had a couple of issues with the aircon, but that was just a maintenance issue, and the owners were straight onto it. These things happen, but it didn't affect our all too brief stay

Het appartement was super mooi, heel vriendelijk personeel en een geweldig ontbijt.

De locatie viel enorm tegen. Er is niks te doen op loopafstand. Het appartement is op de 2e rij gelegen vanaf het strand. De wijk is vrij troosteloos. Wij vonden het te duur voor deze locatie.

Very nice, beautiful and clean accommodation. Amazing staff and great breakfast.

Et fantastisk fint lille hotel lige ud til stranden. Stranden er med pænt store bølger og for voksne er det super sjovt og ikke farligt. Stranden havde vi fuldstændig for os selv. Vildt fedt! Personalet er de sødeste og på vores afrejse dag fik vi lov til at blive i haven til aften hvor vi skulle køres til lufthavnen. Morgenmaden er med vildt meget frugt og lækre pandekager og omelet. Og for første gang på vores tur også en god kaffe. Det er et meget roligt område men der er fine restauranter tæt på og to huse derfra fik vi den bedste Rice Curry med kylling. Alt i alt var det et super lækkert ophold. Tak!

Alt var godt!

Loved the breakfast - it was the most amazing start to the day. Loved the location too - it was great to have the beach to ourselves!

Nothing - it was the best place we stayed!

Das Hotel ist wunderschön gestaltet, das Meerblick-Zimmer sowie das Gartenblick-Zimmer sind traumhaft und laden zum Entspannen ein. Die dort arbeitende Menschen sind sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Es gibt eine tolle Boutique mit schönen Sachen. Das Frühstück ist ein Traum. Der Pool ist schön und schattig für Kinder. Mit dem Tuk Tuk ist man innerhalb von 10 Minuten in Hiriketiya. Der Strand vor der Tür ist sehr rau, aber man kann nach links über den Strand schnell zu ruhigeren Stränden gehen.

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt hier. Das Hotel ist klein und gemütlich, die Zimmer haben eine gute Grösse und sind schön ausgestattet. Am schönsten ist der Blick direkt vom Bett aufs Meer und den Strand. Das grösste Plus sind die Angestellten.Sie sind unheimlich freundlich, aufmerksam und hilfsbereit. In der Gegend gibt es einige nette Cafés und Restaurants (Welly, Good Kitchen) und mit dem Tuktuk ist man schnell in Hiriketiya.

Parasol Doré is a beautiful boutique hotel, perfectly positioned between a peaceful stretch of Dickwella village and its own secluded beach. There are a few lovely cafés and restaurants within walking distance, with many more options a short trip away in Hiriketiya. We spent two weeks in this tranquil sanctuary, often without feeling the need to venture far. Our days were happily spent unwinding—sipping fresh coconuts, dipping in the ocean or the pool (often both), and simply letting time pass at an easy pace. The staff were exceptionally warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Jeremy and Julie are wonderful hosts who go above and beyond to ensure your stay is as comfortable and memorable as possible. Julie also runs a small on-site clothing boutique that’s well worth a visit. We would return in a heartbeat.

Nothing we can think of.

Wunderschöne Unterkunft mit gehobener Ausstattung und viel Liebe zum Detail. Die Lage direkt am Meer ist einfach traumhaft – man hört ständig das Rauschen der Wellen. Das Personal war durchweg freundlich, aufmerksam und hat den Aufenthalt noch angenehmer gemacht. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die stilvolle Einrichtung und die hohe Qualität der Ausstattung. Ein ganz besonderer Dank gilt Roshan, der durchweg unglaublich freundlich war und uns jederzeit geholfen hat, wo es nur ging. Absolut empfehlenswert!

The beach is stunning - we almost always had it to ourselves! We loved our room with comfy bed, spacious bathroom and wonderful bifold doors opening out to a view over the pool, pretty garden and beach beyond. Pool is refreshing and calm. Breakfasts were exceptional and the breakfast room upstairs is lovely. Staff all so friendly and helpful and warm, as are the owners, Julie and Jeremy.

No decent restaurants that are walkable (not that we found anyway). Nothing a quick tuktuk ride can’t solve though!

Parasol Dore to nie tylko miejsce, to szczególne doświadczenie. Estetyczne i głęboko etyczne. Gospodarze, Jeremy i Julia stworzyli istną perłę nad oceanem. Mogliśmy u nich głęboko odpocząć, wyciszyć się, zasymilować doświadczenia wcześniejszej podróży po Sri Lance. Czuliśmy się jak w domu, otoczeni życzliwą obecnością osób, które pracują w Parasol Dore. Dodatkowe udogodnienia, takie jak możliwość oddania rzeczy do prania, zrelaksowania się podczas ajurwedyjskiego masażu w obiekcie, delektowania się przepysznymi śniadaniami na tarasie z widokiem na ocean czynią pobyt jeszcze bardziej wyjątkowym. Zdecydowanie było to nasze najlepsze miejsce podczas podróży po Sri Lance, od razu po przybyciu przedłużyliśmy pobyt. Na miejscu jest także butik z pięknymi ubraniami z naturalnych materiałów, szytymi lokalnie, z dbałością o cały proces ich powstawania. Dziękujemy :)

Beautiful ocean view with doors that open up. Nice staff. Delicious breakfast. Nice linen/cotton shop. Good restaurants short Tuk Tuk ride away.

Hard to swim with shallow waters and waves but 5 minute walk to Turtle Beach which is very swimmable

Beautifully presented rooms. Amazing location on a quiet beach with a private feel. Lovely breakfast provided each day and fresh filtered water available at all times.

The best bars and restaurants are a tuktuk ride away closer to hirikitiyah - but the beach at parasol Dor was much nicer.

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt im Parasol dore. Es gibt nur drei Zimmer, dadurch fühlt sich alles sehr privat und familiär an. Die Aussicht, die Einrichtung sowie das Personal ist wirklich der Wahnsinn. Das Frühstück war das beste, das wir in Sri Lanka bisher bekommen haben. Auch wenn das Hotel doch etwas teurer ist, lohnt sich hier unserer Meinung nach ein Aufenthalt.

Beautiful little hotel in a great location. The beach was beautiful and quiet, but just a couple of minutes walk up the beach to the next bay where you'll find lots of people, sheltered swimming and a few bars/cafes. Perfect balance for us.

Das Parasol Dore war das Highlight unserer Sri Lanka Rundreise. Das Zimmer, der Pool und die direkte Lage am Strand - einfach ein Traum. Dazu das äußerst liebenswerte und freundliche Personal. Die Umgebung bietet auch sehr viel zum unternehmen auch wenn man die Unterkunft eigentlich gar nicht verlassen möchte weil es dort so schön ist. Das Frühstück war ebenfalls sehr lecker. Wir alle drei (auch unser Sohn 9 Jahre) haben es geliebt hier den Jahreswechsel zu verbringen

Chambre magnifique, très bien aménagée et très propres. Acces direct a la plage. Déjeuner incroyable. Le personnel est exceptionnel et aux petits soins. Top endroit et bravo aux proprios ;-)

Parasole Dore surpassed our expectations. The photos aren’t able to capture the sense of peace from spending 7 days right on this beautiful beach. Nothin can be better than Waking up and going to sleep with the sound of crashing waves, the exceptional breakfasts (best we had in our 2 week stay) but most of all the kindness of all the staff. We travelled with our 10 month old baby and everyone went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. We stayed 8 nights but could have spent longer. It is the perfect base to explore the whole surrounding area or stay put and truly relax. Thank you Jeremy, Julie, Roshan and team.

Sehr gutes Quartier mit exzellenten Frühstück. Man fühlt sich sehr willkommen. Zum Abendessen wird ein TukTuk benötigt. Insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert 😃

Leider hatten wir nur bewölktes Wetter und große Wellen.

Die Bewertungen lügen nicht - bei diesem Hotel handelt es sich um einen absoluten Geheimtipp. Das Parasol doré, welches von Jeremy und seiner Frau geführt wird, liegt direkt an einem super Strand in Dikwella. Es gibt lediglich 3 Zimmer in der Unterkunft, wovon 2 einen direkten Meerblick haben. Es ist einfach herrlich, im Bett zu liegen und das Meer beobachten und hören zu können. Die Unterkunft ist mit einem tollen Pool ausgestattet und kleine Surfboards sind zur freien Verwendung vorhanden. Ein sehr reichhaltiges Frühstück ist inkludiert und alle Mitarbeiter sind unglaublich freundlich und hilfreich. Es gibt im Hotel auch zwei Hunde (Lanka und Johnny), welche aber keineswegs aufdringlich sind und sich bei Interesse über Streicheleinheiten freuen. Wenn man vom Hotel aus den Strand entlang zur nächsten Bucht geht (keine 5 Minuten), sind dort einige Strandbars vorhanden bzw. kann auch mit Schildkröten geschnorchelt werden. In der Bucht des Hotels sind teilweise sehr hohe Wellen, aber keine starken Strömungen, wodurch dem Wassergang nichts entgegenspricht.

Wenn man einen Negativpunkt sucht: Die Snacks, welche tagsüber im Hotel bestellt werden könnten, sind hinsichtlich Preis/Leistung nicht optimal. Aber das ist Jammern auf hohem Niveau.

Tout ! L’accueil du propriétaire, la gentillesse de tout son staff, la chambre très belle et confortable, la piscine et l’emplacement avec accès direct à la plage et à l’océan ! La baignade y est facile malgré les vagues qui peuvent impressionner mais qui ne sont pas puissantes.

Rien

An absolute piece of heaven! This is a place where you immediately feel at peace. The atmosphere is warm and calm. The pool area is stunning and very relaxing. The rooms are extremely clean, comfortable, and well equipped. The view is beautiful, and the whole property feels private and tranquil. What truly makes this place special is staff. The staff are incredibly kind, warm and always smiling. We felt very welcome and would love to come back. Highly recommended!

Wir hatten hier fünf wunderschöne Tage! Ich kann nicht in Worte fassen, wie toll es hier ist, es ist die sauberste Unterkunft, in der ich je war. Es ist wunderschön, ganz besonders. Ein Traum, was die Betreiber hier geschaffen haben. Durchdacht bis ins Detail. Das Frühstück war mit Abstand das beste, was wir bis jetzt auf Sri Lanka hatten. Alle Mitarbeiter sind extrem herzlich, zuvorkommen und haben immer ein Lächeln auf den Lippen. Sie haben den Aufenthalt noch viel schöner gemacht. Danke an alle ♥️!

Es gibt nicht einen negativen Punkt.

loved it

na

Amazing, beautiful, comfortable and luxurious but with a warm feeling. Great energy and the hosts Julie and Jeremy were super nice. Staff were friendly. Right on the beach with a pool. Can't really beat that.

Totalt fantastisk sted og beliggenhed. Bedste morgenmad og søde værter. Meget rent. Kommer helt sikkert tilbage 👌💯

Ingenting

Amazing from the minute you walk in. The staff were lovely. The breakfast was great and a lot of food. The property had drivers tuk tuk and taxi that were very well priced.😍 It was a short walk to turtle point, great swimming and snorkelling. Some nice restaurants down the streets, we visited Good kitchen. 5min tuktuk to Hirikeyta, lots of places to watch the surfing and drink and eat.

The Parasol Dore is a little piece of paradise in Dickwella on a quite beach.

They have managed to create a modern and chic hotel. The rooms and terrace are beautiful.

We loved our 8 nights at Parasol Dore. The place is gorgeously designed and very clean and comfortable. The wonderful staff really made our stay special - especially Roshan who gave us a glimpse into real life in Sri Lanka. The beach at the hotel is brilliant for body boarding (whic our 13 year old loved), and in the next cove there is snorkeling and calmer waters for younger children. There are plenty of places to eat locally or just 5 or 10 mins tuktuk drive away - we enjoyed exploring the local food scene and preferred the Sri Lankan traditional foods over that geared towards tourists. Hiriketiya beach is 10-15 mins away by tuktuk - much busier there with lots of dining options for tourists. A big thank you to Jeremy, Julie and all the staff for a wonderful start to our holiday

Place was next to a 2 beaches, one for boogey boards and the other for snorkelling. Also, many good restaurants within walking distance. Breakfast was big and tasty and Jeremy wasn’t lying when he told that they had an excellent coffee.

The setup was very cozy and comfortable. The hosts were welcoming. It was like home.

Loved the decor and feel of the place. Rooms were cool and very comfortable with lots of space. And of course the staff. So attentive and the breakfast was delicious. Really special place located on a quiet part of the beach away from the hustle and bustle.

Das Parasol Doré ist eine Top-Empfehlung! Das Hotel liegt abseits des Trubels mit einem eigenen Strandzugang zu einer sehr ruhigen Bucht. Der Pool ist ebenfalls sehr zu empfehlen. Das Personal ist wahnsinnig zuvorkommend und freundlich. Das Frühstück wird serviert und ist einfach der Wahnsinn. Es gibt einen riesigen Teller mit diversen Früchten gefolgt von Pancakes, Toast und Eierspeisen. Die Zimmer sind mit viel Liebe eingerichtet, so dass man sich auf Anhieb wohl fühlt. Die beiden Besitzer sind sehr hilfsbereit. Der Kleiderladen „Gambette“ ist ebenfalls sehr zu empfehlen. Es gibt so tolle und fair produzierte Leinensachen. Das Hotel ist immer sehr sauber, was hier in Sri Lanka nicht selbstverstänlich ist. Wirklich eine Wohlfühloase!

We had a wonderful stay here, the rooms are beautiful overlooking the pool and the ocean. It was a great spot to base ourselves and explore areas of Dickwella, and nice and peaceful away from the busier tourist areas. Breakfast was amazing and the staff too.

Everything was great!

​Our recent experience with this accommodation was absolutely perfect. The accommodation was beautiful and incredibly clean, which is always our top priority. We immediately felt at home, which is a big achievement. ​However, what elevated our stay to the highest level were the owners, who are incredibly kind. Their warmth, helpfulness, and hospitality made us truly happy. They were always smiling, ready to assist with any query, and created a truly friendly atmosphere. ​I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking not only for comfort but also for a welcoming and human approach. We will definitely be happy to return here!

Parasol Doré truly feels like a home away from home. Jeremy and Julie are incredible hosts. We saw turtle eggs 5m the property. The beach nearby is beautiful, peaceful, and wonderfully isolated from the usual tourist crowds. Joni, Rosie, and Lonka their adorable and friendly pet dogs make the experience even more special. Overall, it’s a place filled with heart, comfort, and genuine hospitality.

super schönes Haus und Zimmer

Viele Hunde(nicht nur Strassenhunde), die aus ihren Grundstücken kommen und sehr aufdringlich sind, Wir wurden mehrmals von verschiedenen Hunden bedrängt, war so sonst nicht in Sri Lanka.

Sfeervolle kleinschalige accommodatie direkt aan het strand. Lekkere strandbedjes. Rustig gelegen maar in 5 min met tuktuk in Hirikitetiya Beach.

Parasol Doré was de beste accomodatie van onze hele reis. De eigenaren en het personeel waren ontzettend lief en zorgden ervoor dat je niets tekort kwam. We voelden ons heel erg thuis. We hadden hier wel meerdere weken kunnen verblijven. Toen we weggingen, voelden we zelfs hetzelfde gevoel als bij een verhuizing. Dat je je oude plek gaat missen. We hadden de kamer met zeezicht. Heerlijk wakker worden met dat uitzicht. De villa ligt aan een klein strandje dat je helemaal voor jezelf hebt. Er was niemand anders. Een klein geheim paradijs. Het ontbijt is uitgebreid en heel lekker: smoothie, fruit, pannenkoeken, brood en ei en koffie en thee. Er staat gefilterd water wat je gratis kunt pakken gedurende de hele dag. Je kunt ook smoothies of milkshakes bestellen gedurende de dag. De eigenaresse heeft een winkeltje met linnen kleding. Dat maakt ze helemaal zelf. Er wordt zowel mannen als vrouwen kleding verkocht. Stuk voor stuk prachtige items. Wij hebben flink geshopt!

Eigenlijk was alles perfect. Niets viel tegen. Als we toch een tip moeten noemen, dan zou dat zijn dat ze naast de smoothies en milkshakes misschien nog wat chipjes of nootjes op de menu kaart kunnen zetten, zodat je wat te snacken kunt kopen. Voor het overige is Parasol Doré niet op loopafstand van Hirri. Dat was voor ons geen probleem. Sterker nog: wij vonden dat een pluspunt. Je kunt naar Hirri voor de drukte en eettentjes, maar de rust opzoeken bij je verblijf. Voor 800 SLR heb je een tuktuk naar Hirri (8 min rijden). Een eigen scooter huren kan ook. Er zijn ook restaurantjes op loopafstand, zoals Soul Kitchen, dus je hoeft niet altijd helemaal naar Hirri.

L’hôtel était tres bien situé pour les nombreux points d’intérêts. Jeremy était très gentil et nous a très bien conseillé. Le petit déjeuner était aussi très bon et copieux.

Wat een heerlijk kleinschalig plekje aan het strand. Ideale plek om een paar dagen te ontspannen. Het Ontbijt is heerlijk en het personeel ontzettend vriendelijk en zorgzaam.

Ligt iets verder van gelegenheden en restaurants af. Met een Tuktuk ben je er zo.

We visited for 3 days looking for a relaxing time and we just loved it. The welcome, staff, room, facilities, pool, garden, breakfast, location were just perfect.

Nothing - was just perfect

Absolute Wohlfühloase an einem Traumstrand. Tolle Gastgeber, tolles Team. Jeremy und Julie haben ein Paradies für Urlauber erschaffen. Unbedingt auch eine Massage buchen.

The best hotel of our holiday in Sri Lanka! The place is very quiet (only 3 rooms, 2 facing the swimming pool and one on the back). The hotel owner Jeremy is very keen to address any of your requests, with nice recommendations for swimming spots and eating places. The abundant breakfast is served on a very nice terrace, where you can also find an exquisite boutique. Treat yourself and book a room here!

Il posto più confortevole e rilassante in cui abbiamo soggiornato durante il viaggio. Addormentarsi e svegliarsi con il rumore del mare, avendo l’accesso diretto alla spiaggia proprio davanti alla camera, è stato impagabile. Roshan è stato semplicemente gentile e sempre disponibile. Un soggiorno da ricordare!

This charming hotel, with only three rooms, offers a wonderfully relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. It is located right on the beach, perfect for long walks where you might even spot a turtle. The staff are incredibly kind and always willing to help, making the stay even more enjoyable. Breakfast is plentiful and delicious, served with a beautiful view of the ocean. The property is spotless and tastefully decorated. A special mention goes to Jeremy and Julie’s clothing line – a visit to their lovely boutique is an absolute must!

Super leuk klein boutique hotel, met erg vriendelijk personeel. 3 super nachten gehad. Alles was schoon en ontbijt was erg goed verzorgd. Wij komen zeker weer!

Absoluter Herzensort auf unserer Sri Lanka Reise !! Wir hatten eine unvergessliche wunderbare Zeit - wie schade, dass wir weiter fahren mussten… Team, paradiesischer ruhiger Fleck, bestes Frühstück mit Blick aufs Meer ! Wir kommen bestimmt wieder!

Beautiful accommodation directly on the beach. We stayed in the pool view room which had stunning views over the pool and beach straight from bed. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout the stay. Delicious breakfast in the morning. With it being a small property with only a handful of rooms it felt very private and a luxury stay. Short walk to some cafes and restaurants and short tuk tuk ride to hiriketiya. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit the area.

Nothing.

We had wonderful days at the end of our trip in Sri Lanka. It was the perfect place to find peace and quiet and relax. We went out in the waves several times a day with Jeremy's bodyboards, which was great fun and we had the bay to ourselves. The room, the staff and the place with its direct beach location and great pool are a real gem. Thank you so much! We will be back. 10/10 Stars

Nothing

Stylish design, floors invite to leave shoes aside, set directly at the beach, spacious room with spacious barhroom, excellent breakfast, very welcoming and helpful staff, we had 2 of the 3 rooms, very peaceful - it’s more being guest at friends

Parasol Dole is a little slice of heaven. We had the ultimate relaxation time where we were able to switch off from everything. The accommodation is beautiful. We loved the room, which had bi-folding doors directly out to the pool area and beach. The pool was clean and refreshing. We spent the majority of our time on the beach, which felt private as we were usually the only ones on it. There are body boards to use at your leisure and we had so much fun body boarding in the waves for hours on end. There is an area further up the beach that frequently has turtles, so we had the opportunity to snorkel and saw several turtles close to shore. The staff were so generous and hospitable. They kindly organised us tuk tuks into town whenever we needed, which always arrived within 10 minutes of booking. Roshan particularly went out of his way to recommend things to do in the area and offered to drive us round the town for some sightseeing. We couldn’t fault the service. We really enjoyed the breakfast. The pancakes, omelettes and fruit platter were exceptionally good! Highly recommend this serene and stunning boutique hotel and we will definitely return on our next visit to Sri Linka!

A stylish, comfortable and luxurious stay. This place is so special and you can see the love and care that went into this villa. Our room was spacious and looking out to the ocean. The beach is just a few steps away from the bedroom constertina doors that open completely. I loved the botique shop on the property with beautiful designer clothes. Lovely hosts and a really comfortable stay! There is also a beach nearby where you can swim with turtles!

What a hidden gem! Jeremy and the team are excellent hosts, attending to every request we had, whether it was transport, excursions, or restaurant bookings. The guesthouse is perfectly situated at a comfortable distance from both Dickwella and Hiriketiya, offering perfect peace and tranquility. There is a wide variety of traditional and modern dining options just a short tuk-tuk ride away. The place is immaculately clean, with the grounds extending to a gorgeous beach that was peacefully quiet (which we loved!). A big shout-out to Roshan and his lovely daughter Nikya, our trusty tour guide, who were brilliant in giving advice and organizing any outings we took. A fantastic stay with some great memories made. Highly recommended!

The Parasol Dore has the most fantastic position right on the beach. Very comfortable, simple room but with everything you need, very clean, great bathroom and with the most stunning view. Lying in bed listening to the crashing waves was very special. Julie and Jeremy are great hosts and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious all in all we had had a wonderful time.

Nothing

Parasol Dore is a little intimate hotel that has a private beach and it's beautifully decorated in a minimalistic style. The stuff was very friendly and attentive always there to help. We loved the breakfasts that consisted of fresh fruits, smoothies, pancakes, traditional hoppers and eggs of your choice. This place is a gem and I can't recommend it enough.

We loved everything.

We had a wonderful relaxing stay at Parasol Dore in the final few days of our Sri Lanka trip. The rooms and location are beautiful and the staff are amazing! Roshan in particular was incredibly kind. Thank you for everything.

Amazing property in a beautiful location. Jeremy and his wife are top hosts as well as the rest of the team. Breakfast was also fabulous. Thank you both!

About a 10 min tuk tuk ride out of hiritekiya but very easy and affordable to get into town.

Beautiful small hotel. Room opens directly onto clean, modern pool. Only 3 rooms so very quiet. Very private despite proximity to the pool. The hotel is directly on a very quiet beach (deserted compared to the very busy beaches nearby). All the staff were friendly and extremely helpful. The breakfast was very nice. Overall an excellent stay and great value for money.

Nothing to dislike.

Right at the beach with a nice pool. The hosts and staff we're very welcoming during our stay.

One of the best places we have ever stayed. The owners and the staff were the nicest. Right on the beach with giant turtles around the next corner. We will definitely return. Thank you Jeremy, Julie, Rochan, Manoli and everybody working there for making our 6 days here so memorable❤️❤️❤️

Nothing

We have truly loved our stay at Parasol Dore. Jeremy, Julie and the rest of the staff are amazing, the rooms and house are very well-decorated and the view is fantastic. Thanks!

Nothing

Great location, right by the beach! The beach is great for a swim and less than a 5min walk to Turtle point where you can snorkel and see fish and turtles! Great and varied breakfast with a view. The room is beautifully designed and was kept spotlessly clean throughout our stay!

Right now there is construction next door (I get that this is not the owners' fault but some communication ahead of time would have set the right expectations). It will take you a 10min tuktuk ride (500-600lkr) into hiriketyia - we didn't mind because it means you are really away from all the bustle :)

The perfect place with amazing hosts

Nothing

Everything about Parasol Dore is perfect! The location is top class. The folks who run the villa are fantastic hosts. If you are going to the southern coast of Sri Lanka, your trip would be incomplete without staying in this beautiful place!

My partner and I recently enjoyed a 4-night stay at Parasole Doré, and it was absolutely perfect. Our room was immaculate and beautifully designed, offering stunning ocean views through bifold doors equipped with one-way glass for added privacy. The property had a wonderfully spacious and relaxed atmosphere that made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Breakfast was a daily highlight, with a variety of delicious options that changed each morning, keeping things fresh and exciting. However, the standout feature of our stay was the incredible staff. Everyone we encountered was warm, friendly, and eager to assist. A special mention goes to Roshan, whose attentive and thoughtful service ensured our stay was nothing short of perfect.

Great service - rooms were spacious and very clean. Julie and Jeremey are great hosts and have very trusted reliable contacts when it comes to logistic and discovering the region. We liked swimming in the pool with a view on the Ocean.

Nothing to mention

Parasol Dore is a gorgeous gem of a villa, situated on a small and quiet beach near Dickwella. We loved the location, very quiet but within walking or short tuk-tuk distance to Dickwella and Hiriketiya when we felt like “opting in” to those other places. Most of all we loved the staff - everyone - made us feel at home in ways we could never have expected! We are so grateful we could stay here.

Julie, Jeremy and all of their staff made our stay very special. They are very welcoming and helpful with all your requests. We really did feel like being their guests and not their customers. The house is really nice and spacious. It has only three guest rooms, so it makes it very special. We enjoyed the relaxing area. The whole place is equipped very lovely and most importantly very clean. The breakfast is amazing. Everyday you get served something new and all extra wishes or food allergies have been taken care of. You have access to a really great beach right in front of the house.

You have to go by tuk tuk almost everywhere, but it is only a short ride. For us that wasn’t even negative because we liked the off the track place to enjoy some quiet rest. Maybe the covers for the sunbeds could be replaced, other than that there is absolutely nothing to say negatively.

Heartwarming people, very unique place, perfect stay

Awesome rooms, really nice stuff and great breakfast. We had a wonderful stay at Parasol dore. You have the ocean just in front and an amazing view.

Very nice and quiet place run by a French family with a very welcoming local staff. 3 rooms only decorated with style and where you feel at home. Nice small pool on the (as if private ;)) beach and terrasse upstairs to enjoy amazing breakfast looking at ocean waves. Just 5 minutes away : Turtle point, walking on the beach and Hiriketyia, with Tuktuk, to enjoy swimming, surfing and chilling in nice restaurants. We do recommend !

Had a wonderful relaxing weekend here. Beautiful view of the sea in the room, which had a gorgeous bathroom. Amazed by the extraordinary architecture of the house. The breakfast was exceptional, one of the best I've had in SL. There is also a little shop in the building for luxury linen items. You are right on the beach and walkable to the nearby turtle bay, and close to dickwella and hiriketiya.

The rooms were great. Nicest breakfast I’ve had in Sri Lanka (those omelettes 🔥). Jeremey and Roshan and all of the staff were amazing and accommodating.

Stunning room and view to beach

We enjoyed our stay a lot!! All the staff is so friendly and the breakfast was the best we have had in Sri Lanka! We booked two rooms and they were connected which was an unexpected but much appreciated surprise. Can highly recommend this place!!
