Nayan's Paradise

Muy buena ubicación, limpieza, aire acondicionado, grandísimo recibimiento por parte del manager

The pool, the bedrooms with views, home made breakfast ! The kindness of the host and this wife especially with our children + the coconut experience :-)

A bit difficult to find as the direction notes were outdated. An electricity cut for one entire night but a commercial gesture was proposed. Pradeep did his best to help us. Nothing around except one small pub 15 minutes walking distance... But the host is always available ! The Beach is also wild (big waves) and full of plastic but cannot do anything about it...

Quiet location, very quiet stay.

Lot of flies and dogs living of the byproducts of the heavy fishing activities.

Peaceful location , private small pool and shared big pool ( but we were the only people there). Big room, with dining area and kitchen facilities and washing machine. Great help from staff and lovely dinners brought to our room.

Bed could do with a mosquito net as being close to a busy fishing area there were a lot of flies which managed to get in the rooms despite our efforts to repel them.

Compleet huisje, direct aan het strand.

- Kamera beim Pool wurde abgedeckt - super gross und genügend Platz, sauberer Pool - Chef ist sehr zuvorkommend, hilfsbereit und unterstützt bei allem! - Es liegt wirklich sehr abgelegen (für uns war es super, um zu relaxen, kommt aber darauf an was mach sucht bzw. die Ferien gestalten möchte), sehr zu empfehlen mit einem eigenen Fortbewegungsmittel dort zu sein! Pickme bzw. Uber funktioniert nicht. - schöner Strand - alles in allem waren wir zufrieden und können es weiterempfehlen :)

Leider alles etwas schmuddelig, z.B. könnten die Griffe der Küche mal wieder gereinigt werden. Badewanne war noch schmutzig von den Vorgängern.

Schöne Anlage, sehr freundliches Personal. Sauberes, großes, komfortables Zimmer. Die Gegend ist eher abgelegen was uns sehr gefallen hat.

wir hatten die Villa - ein riesiges Haus, mit mehr als genug Platz für eine Familie. komplette Ausstattung, Küche, Waschmaschine, AC, Ventilatoren, eigener Pool, Garten .. alles was das Herz begehrt. da fühlt man sich schon recht feudal ;) Herr Pradeep und seine Frau haben uns wirklich alles organisiert, den Pool regelmäßig gereinigt, wir bekamen jeden Tag wunderbares Frühstück, einmal haben die beiden abends ein BBQ mit allem drum und dran gemacht (Feuerstelle im Garten errichtet), Fisch & Meeresfrüchte gegrillt usw. DANKE nochmal dafür!

die Lage ist sehr einsam, weit und breit keine anderen Urlauber - an sich auch nett sein kann und ruhig. in diesem Fall allerdings leider sehr getrübt durch die anwesenden Fischer, welche (ebenfalls weniger romantisch als man sich das vorstellt) mit Traktoren von früh bis spät direkt am Strand vor dem Haus und um das Haus arbeiten, Müll verbrennen usw. den Strand direkt vorm Haus kann man somit leider auch nicht nutzen. ebenso ist der Wohlfühl- und Sicherheits-Aspekt dadurch stark beeinträchtig. angeblich (bzw. hoffentlich für den Betreiber!) ist das nur vorübergehend. dann ist es eine wirklich absolut wunderbare Unterkunft!

Gelijk vanuit je huisje het strand op! Een hele eigen villa!

Het was niet heel schoon en het is niet toeristisch dus je moet opzoek gaan naar eten. Het voelt alsof het nog niet af is.

Very comfortable villa next to the beach. Rooms , furniture and appliances were modern. Caretaker Pradeep was very helpful. There were few restaurants near by we were pleasently suprised by how tasty the food was. Fresh seafood was available to buy from the fishermen in the beach.

Beach was not very clean.

De rust, gelijk aan het strand. Niet toeristisch. Gastvrijheid van Pradeep.

De insecten. Vieze strand.

Die Villa liegt direkt in erster Reihe am Strand - einfach traumhaft! Der private Pool ist top für die Kinder! Es war alles sehr sauber und gepflegt! Die Küche war richtig gut ausgestattet - außerdem ist eine Waschmaschine vorhanden, was mit kleinen Kindern von großem Wert ist! Was man wissen muss: Es ist sehr abgelegen - abseits vom Tourismus. Dafür hat man einen riesigen Strand komplett für sich alleine! Es gibt nur ein Restaurant in Laufweite und kein Supermarkt oder Minimarkt in der näheren Gegend. Man sollte also im voraus ein paar Sachen besorgen - alternativ kann man sich Lebensmittel vom Besitzer liefern lassen. Für uns war es perfekt! Wir können es sehr empfehlen!

They make everything possible for their guests and from what It looks like even keep the beach at the property (which was small if you look at the total rooms) clean

For us it was perfect on the way but the location is somewhat remote

Nous avons adoré séjourner dans ce petit paradis. Parfait pour se reposer. Ce n’est pas une région touristique. L’environnement est très calme, entouré de champs de cocotiers. Accès direct à l’océan. Attention, à cette période (août), les vagues sont trop fortes pour se baigner, mais châteaux de sable et balade le long de l’eau autorisés ! Nous nous sommes sentis seuls au monde et c’est ce que nous recherchions. La maison est très grande, très confortable pour 4 personnes. La piscine privée est exceptionnelle. Pradeep et sa femme étaient très disponibles pour nous durant tout le séjour. Ils sont très attentionnés et ont rendu notre séjour encore plus exceptionnel. Ils nous ont concocté des plats délicieux, organisé un barbecue avec les crabes de la pêche du jour, organisé une petite sortie à Puttalam et même révélé quelques secrets de la cuisine srilankaise !

Rien

We werden hartelijk ontvangen met een verse kokosnoot. De accommodatie ziet er schitterend uit. Het bed ligt goed. We hadden een ontbijt dat was erg lekker maar ook erg veel. Ik beveel deze accommodatie zeker aan.

This place was perfectly placed at half way for us between Anurahdupura and Negombo. Not the right time of year for the beach but was very relaxing by the pool. Pradeep was lovely and so helpful. He cooked us a lovely breakfast. A beautiful property.

Nothing

La villa sur l’océan et avec cette petite piscine est un joli cadeau de fin de séjour sur la route de l’aéroport. L’accueil de Pradeep nous a facilité la logistique et la maison était impeccable.

Penser à valider la route d’accès car il y a une route goudronnée et tous les autres sont en terre moins facile en van

The villa is amazing and very comfy. Great pool.

Location: in the middle of nowhere (so distant that there is no PickMe or Uber), not even a possibility to walk to some minor interesting place. Bird sanctuary is 45 mins drive. As a result, you end up completely dependent on a caretaker, which may be a little bit annoying. Beach: polluted (there is only 1 clean part, straight in front of the villa), which makes walks along the beach very sad. Ocean: impossible to swim in due to dangerous waves. Restaurant & grocery: there is 1 restaurant 17 mins walk (average taste, not recommended), grocery store is 45 mins walk. CCTV cameras: there are functioning cameras around the house, including one directed at the private pool (!!!). When confronted, Nayan promised to have it covered - rather doublecheck.

The beach villa was the best accommodation we had during our trip around Sri Lanka. The house is very comfortable, enough space for 6 people and great location at the beach. Pradeep and his wife were very welcoming and prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner for us. All very tasty and we enjoyed it a lot. We highly recommend the beach villa and would come back.

The house was really beautiful and we loved everything. We just stayed for one night, but I would come back. There is a big kitchen and two big bedrooms with really comfortable beds and airconditioning. The pool is also very lovely and the beach is directly behind the house. They even clean the beach behind the house. It also has an own entrance and it's super quiet, you only hear the waves. Everything was super clean!

Its location is special and truly authentic, as it is on the fishing beach where you can observe the fishermen pulling the nets and sorting their catch. I even helped release a turtle back to the sea after it had been caught in the fishing net. That was magical. The bungalows are extremely well-equipped inside. Outside, however they lack the furniture and the covered outside space for the shade and the rainy weather.

The photos and the description of the property on Booking are misleading. In the description it says that each bungalow has a pool with the view. In reality out of 5 bungalows that share the fenced palm garden near the beach, only one, the bungalow closest to the entrance gate, has a pool and the kitchen facilities and none of them have a view of the ocean (apart from the new bungalow that has not been finished when we were there that is closest to the beach and that might have a bit of a view). The photos shown on Booking.com are the photos of the only bungalow with the pool and the beach villa that is located about 200 m up the road, not the other 4 bungalows. We were given the opportunity to move to the beach villa for the 2 last nights of our stay for a better price. The villa was big and comfortable with the beach and ocean view and would be ideal for two couples or a family. There is a caretaker of the property, Martinez who showed us around the bungalow and the villa. He also sells trips and excursions in the area and that, we felt, distracted him slightly from the caretaking duties.The transport is difficult to find as the pick me app doesn't really work there. We shopped around for the transport and in the end managed to find one (not from the area) that was nearly half the price that had been quotted by the caretaker. The village is lovely, though and the villagers are genuinely friendly and welcoming and showed us the authentic slice of Sri Lanka we would not have experienced in a more touristy area. Breakfasts and dinners are tasty. They are prepared by Pradeep and his wife at their house and brought over to the bungalows and the villa. The pub Sira (about 7 min walk from the property) is the only lunch option in the village.

Martinez the manager was wonderful very attentive and helpful. We had a great relaxing stay. The chalet was very comfortable and everything worked. I highly recommend this property.

Pradeep and his wife were excellent hosts. Great little pool and very quiet. The food Pradeep cooked for us was excellent. Very relaxing and a good stop over on our journey from Negombo to Wilpattu.

We had a very pleasant stay at Nayan's Paradise, it was clean and we enjoyed a nice dinner down the road at a local restaurant. Thanks for a great stay.

Rooms were extremely clean, spacious and even we could do the laundry :) The best thing is that they allowed us to check out 2 hours later to be synced with the train we had to get in the Colombo main station an hour later. The contact through Whatsapp was flawless, always willing to help!

Very beautiful, clean, safe and peaceful paradise. Good A/C. Washer and kitchen facilities, very high quality of everything. The cleanest pool I saw on my trip. Staff was so professional and kind, and offered to help us in every way, even to go out and look for things at the store for me I needed before I left for the airport. Pradeep and his wife cooked a huge and delicious dinner for us, based on the food types we requested. Martinez showed us around the little town which was a quiet and friendly place. The beach was quiet too and full of beautiful shells and men fishing. We were greeted with water from a freshly cut coconut. We felt like queens here! Unfortunately we had to leave for the airport at 3am and the staff helped us make this happen easily and gave us a ride. We felt like queens here!

Everything was wonderful.

Beautiful room, beautiful garden, a nice little pool even. All quite clean. Pradeep, the caretaker, and his wife are very friendly and helpful, made us a delicious breakfast on both mornings. Martinez collected us from the train station with his tuktuk (chargable) and gave us a tour through our spacious bungalow and the garden. The kitchen is well-equipped, so you could prepare some simple meals. Tea, coffee, sugar, and milk, and drinking water were provided which was very generous. There is a direct access to the beach where you can take endless walks, watch the fishermen haul in their nets, sort, weigh, pack and sell their catch. Very interesting - especially after about 4 pm and until dark.

There are no facilities at Nayan's place. Pradeep prepares the meals at his house and brings them to Nayan's Paradise. There is a restaurant close-by (Pub Sirak Beach Hosue, lunch and dinner) which has a seating area outside and is right next to the beach, but after dark we could hardly see our plates and the food was rather bland and basic (the usual suspects: mixed fried rice and mixed fried noodles). It is a nice place for drinks maybe but not really much of a restaurant. There is another little take-away for kottu and egg rotis, etc. just down the road (Lesli's). They do have a table and a couple of chairs, and we had our meal right there which was quite interesting because lots of villagers came by to order take-away so we had a chance to meet some of them. The area around Nayan's Paradise is cool if you want a break, no noise, tranqulity, etc. Do expect any activities or sightseeing. Bring a good book or two and maybe some basic provisions and do not expect much entertainment. Unfortunately, the beach is rather dirty, with lots of plastic being washed ashore all the time and the fishermen also not making an effort to collect their rubbish.

We ended up here by accident because we had to make a stopover. However, we are very happy that this happened, because it was fantastic! we were taken care of by Pradeep and his wife. Super friendly people. The accommodation was beautiful, clean and the breakfast was delicious. If you are in the area; absolutely recommended! it is an undiscovered gem.

Simple, secluded and peaceful. Neither new nor flashy but it’s got everything you need to relax - and not many opportunities for any other activity close by. We particularly enjoyed the opportunity to do laundry and prepare simple meals. Pradeep was exceptionally great host and helped us with transport, cooked for us in the evening and let us checked out late. Couldn’t ask for more. More food/drinks around and we could have stayed for a week!

Nothing

Fantastic accomodation, Private location, Martinez is a fantastic host. Lovely food to your door or Pub Sira Beach House was fantastic.

Internet can be patchy.

This place is a true little paradise! Martinez and his colleague looked after us very well, kindly upgrading us to a bigger bungalow with a kitchen as we were the only guests. The bungalow was perfectly clean and so were the pool and the rest of the grounds. The location is great with the property being right by the beach. We were even allowed to cut some coconuts out of the trees and enjoy fresh coconut water. They have a cook that can you provide you with meals, one evening we ordered a fish BBQ at the beach, which was fantastic! We can highly recommend Nayan’s Paradise!

Everything was great, but one thing to note when booking the accommodation is that all of the pictures are of the villa and the bigger bungalow with the kitchen. There are 3 smaller bungalows which are much more basic. It’d be good if the listing could be more clear with pictures of the smaller bungalows as well so as to manage expectations. Can’t expect to be the only guests and always receive a free upgrade, I guess ;)

Very clean accomodation. The manager Martinez was amazing. He helped us with everything what we needed.

The location around could be nicer:)

Spacious, well equipped room. Close to beach. Small, but refreshing pool.

Hard to find with Google maps.

This is a spacious modern villa with private pool and beach view. It is away from touristic towns, you can fully immerse in local village life and have an authentic experience. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Everything was great, for swimming the currents may be a bit strong, but we enjoyed the beach walks.
