Lihinya Beach Villa Ahangama

Michael, de eigenaar en zijn team hebben ervoor gezorgd dat we een heel fijn verblijf hebben gehad. Ze waren heel aardig en attent. Ze hebben zich flexibel opgesteld, de gastvrijheid en service waren van een hoog niveau. Een hele fijne rustige plek met super mooi uitzicht over de zee!

Niks

We had a fantastic time at Lihinya Beach Villa - the location was stunning, the rooms spacious and calm, the breakfast fantastic, and the staff were super friendly. While there, we met a couple who come every year, and had this year decided to stay for a full month, which shows how great this place is! The owner even went out of his way to reunite us with something we left behind, which was so kind and helpful.

Honestly, nothing!

Alt! Dette ophold var perfekt for os. Den smukkeste beliggenhed med udsigt ud over havet. Værelset var lyst, lækkert og havde en fremragende seng. Og ikke mindst var personalet så hjælpsomt og søde- vi følte os virkelig godt tilpas her, på alle måder.

Intet.

Der Inhaber Michael und sein Team mit Koch, Housekeepern und Security Mann sind alle total nett, man merkt, dass ihnen die Arbeit dort richtig Spaß macht. Das Zimmer und die Aussicht aufs Meer waren traumhaft. Der Pool und generell der Außenbereich waren auch toll und gepflegt. Wie waren zeitweise fast alleine tagsüber in der Villa und man hat sich gefühlt, als würde einem die Villa gehören mit privatem Hauspersonal. Die Lage war auch total gut, viele Restaurants und Cafés in der Nähe fußläufig zu erreichen. Dennoch ruhig gelegen etwas weg von der Straße, sodass man sie nicht hört. Das Essen in der Villa war auch so gut, es wurde einem alles immer frisch zubereitet. Rundum einfach ein richtig toller Aufenthalt!!

Der direkte Strandzugang fehlt etwas, da die letzte Stufe zum Meer etwas hoch ist aber Michael möchte da in Zukunft eine Lösung zu finden. Also müssen wir nächstes Jahr wieder kommen und nachschauen, was sich bis dahin getan hat :)

It’s a beautiful property on the seafront, all the staff were absolutely incredible, good facilities with fantastic chef. Will most definitely be revisiting! Thank you for such a wonderful stay and a great way to celebrate my birthday - we will see you again!

The absolute best five-star hotel we visited during our trip to Sri Lanka. So cosy and absolutely stunning, with the most beautiful sunsets we experienced on the island. We loved being able to swim both in the pool and in the ocean. Cool cafés are just a five-minute walk along the beach, which makes the location perfect. The service was truly outstanding from start to finish.

Really enjoyed our 2 nights here. The room was spacious comfortable and had a great view. Nice pool and sunbeds , enough for all guests and really good options at breakfast. Staff very friendly. Clean with a good bathroom. Close to the center of the resort but far enough away to be quiet for sleep.

One point not a complaint but a mini fridge in room would have been nice.

Die Lage

Oh my goodness LOVED EVERYTHING about the place adored the space, staff and owner. All sooo friendly, warm and accommodating. It was soooo beautiful and the beach was literally steps away and absolutely stunning and breathtaking.

The fact I had to check out

The Villa - The villa is stunning. Set in the prime spot metres from the sea. The Villa is light and spacious, plenty of room for everyone. The rooms are lovely and have a great balcony for watching sunrise and sunset. Pool was fantastic and so we're the loungers. Enough for all guests. Location - fantastic location in the heart of Ahangama. Close to bars, restaurants, shops and a bank. Everything you need by foot. But the Villa set back from the road made for a peaceful and relaxed feel. The staff - they are what make this place. Lovely people who cannot do enough for you. Making drinks, multiple choices of breakfasts to evening fetching us ice creams! They really do make your stay here special and are a credit to Lihinya. Michael the owner was very helpful and welcoming, made our whole stay there feel laid back and relaxed which is exactly what we wanted. Sorted us a taxi to Colombo no problem. Overall this is a fantastic place to stay on the south coast! If a chilled out wonderful villa with the beach and sea on your doorstep is what you want them look no further! Thanks for a great stay

Absolutely nothing!

The breakfast was absolutely brilliant. There were three breakfast options and we tried all of them, each one was delicious, freshly prepared, and beautifully presented by the excellent staff. The location is just as special. The villa sits right on the beachfront, and falling asleep to the sound of the waves lapping outside was unforgettable. Waking up to the sea just steps away made the stay feel incredibly peaceful and special.

Nothing

Familiäres Hotel mit insgesamt 4 Zimmern, das mit viel Liebe geführt wird. Bei uns im Zimmer konnte man wirklich von jedem Ort im Zimmer und Bad das Meer und die Surfer sehen. Ahangama ist zud3m ein toller Surferort.

We had an absolutely perfect stay and couldn’t recommend Lihinya Beach Villa more highly. The ocean views from both our room and the common areas were breathtaking - waking up to the sound and sight of the ocean was amazing. The hotel has direct beach access - this stretch of beach feels secluded, like you have it all to yourself. It was also great watching the surfers from the property. There is also surf board rental just a walk away. The location is excellent - close enough to walk to restaurants and bars in Ahangama, either via the street or along the beach, yet still peaceful and quiet. Our room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. Breakfast each morning was amazing - fresh and delicious. There were both western and traditional Sri Lankan options. The cocktails by the pool were another highlight, especially the Piña Coladas made from fresh pineapple and coconut. The villa is family-owned, and the staff are all locals, which really adds to the warmth and authenticity of the experience. We mentioned to the owner, Michael, that we were celebrating our anniversary, and he and his wife went above and beyond by surprising us with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a delicious chocolate cake. It was such a thoughtful and memorable gesture. Michael was also incredibly helpful with recommendations, including suggestions for New Year’s Eve, and communication before and throughout our stay was excellent. A truly special place. We would absolutely stay here again.

Exakt allt! Kändes som att vara hemma med egen privat butler. Otroligt verkligen så vänlig och hjälpsam personal. Vacker utsikt, rent. Vi ville bokstavligt talat inte lämna stället ens för middag för att vi trivdes så bra där. Ligger mitt i centrum, men inte ett knyst från trafiken enda vi hörde var havets vågor.

Finns inget dåligt att säga, absolut bästa boendet vi haft.

Endroit paradisiaque, tout était parfait, le personnel était aux petits soins et c’était un plaisir de rencontrer les propriétaires - je recommande et rêve d’y retourner !!

Everything was amazing the location was perfect right in front of the beach and close to everything, everyone was very nice welcoming and always smiling, I’ll definitely come back again + I already miss this place 🥹❤️

Beautiful property- owners Michael and his wife and staff were amazing. Views are amazing, breakfast and hospitality top notch. Best hotel in Ahangama for sure!! Would definitely go back!!

Everything was amazing.

Zeer fijn verblijf gehad! Je zit letterlijk aan het strand. Wij vonden het heerlijk om met de zee geluiden om ons heen te hebben. Daarnaast zijn de faciliteiten top; goed ontbijt, fijne service en heerlijk zwembad. Zeker een aanrader als je vanuit hier Ahanghama wil ontdekken

Zimmer sind sehr schön und gemütlich!

Hard to find a better location in and around the south coast. Staff were great in particular Chanaka and Denish. Great breakfasts individually cooked to your satisfaction

Great location, clean and on the beach.

Las vistas de la habitación son simplemente increíbles. La habitación es amplia y la cama súper cómoda. El baño enorme y muy bonito, todo decorado con muy buen gusto. El personal extremadamente amable, nos ayudaron mucho en todo, tuvimos conversaciones agradables y siempre estuvieron disponibles. Además el desayuno riquísimo, hecho con mucho cariño. Puedes pasear al atardecer por la poca orilla de playa que hay justo delante del alojamiento y llegas a un espigón donde la puesta de sol es increíble, no necesitas irte más lejos para disfrutar de una buena puesta de sol. La piscina con vistas también muy agradable.

Nos pareció que podría estar más limpio, el baño tenía arañas y algunos pelos en la ducha (se notaba que la limpieza no estaba hecha con mucha dedicación). Además la terraza estaba bastante sucia también: la mesa con manchas y las hamacas también, así como los cristales de la habitación. Esto era sólo en esas zonas, el resto de la habitación estaba muy limpia, pero les falta más limpieza en esas zonas (especialmente por el precio que tiene la habitación, te esperas algo extremadamente cuidado en todos los sentidos). El agua de la piscina tampoco estaba muy limpia. Además no nos limpiaron la habitación de un día para otro, cosa que insisto, con el precio que tiene la habitación, debería de estar incluído.

Beach side location, the decor and food

Posizione eccezionale con accesso diretto all'oceano, confort e design di livello, Cortesia e disponibilità dello staff, colazione ottima, piscina e spazi esterni.

Great location. Helpful staff. Delicious breakfast. Room was spacious, super clean and modern. Outdoor pool was lovely watching sunset.

-

This is a 4 room boutique hotel where the ocean literally laps at the steps to the hotel's private outdoor area. Talk about absolute beach frontage! You can walk along the beach to local restaurants only meters away. Breakfast was a feast and the pool was luxurious. Our room was luxurious and our private balcony was a joy.

Nothing

De locatie aan het strand was geweldig met veel leuke tentjes op korte loopafstand. Personeel is super en de hond Fiona is de ster.

Prachtige villa met zwembad. Voor iedere persoon is er een comfortabel ligbed. De kamers hebben een balkon met prachtig uitzicht op de oceaan. Naast enkele gezellige strandbars. Zeer lekker ontbijt! Vriendelijke medewerkers.

Niets

Great location, modern and comfortable rooms that looked directly out onto the ocean!

Nothing - the property was great

The location & ambience was fab! Staff were friendly and great breakfast!

Nothing

Beautiful setting in top location Exceptional staff!! Michael the owner was so warm and welcoming he and his brilliant staff always offering assistance with nothing ever being a problem . China cooks scrumptious breakfast and makes a delicious club sandwich . Would highly recommend this stay!!!

Nothing within their control, we had hoped to surf but conditions too windy, might just have to get back to try again 😄

The hotel, the view, the room, bathroom and pool are all amazing. Michael (the owner) & the staff were all super nice & helpful. I warmly recommend this hotel!

Loved everything about this place! Great location, amazing views, clean and very comfortable. The staff are wonderful and make a delicious breakfast. Would love to return!

There is nothing I didn’t like about this property.

One of our favourite stays in Sri Lanka, breathtaking views, comfortable and beautifully designed bedroom and bathroom. Staff could not do enough for you, very welcoming and helpful without being obtrusive, lovely people to be around, the perfect balance. Delicious breakfast with the most beautiful view. Location was excellent too, so central in ahangama for the best restaurants and cafes, and beautiful Kabalana beach nearby.

Perfection

The location was so perfect and the boutique hotel made it feel like home. Cozy and comfortable. The staff was as amazing and the owner made sure we were well looked after

NA

We loved everything about lihinya, my partner loved the surf, I loved our room and the views. All the staffs are absolutely amazing, Micheal is great. We would definitely stay at the lihinya again. The breakfast is something that adds to the stay as the guys are so accommodating, the options are great. I cannot rave about how amazing our stay was and how amazing the guys are there.

Very nice staff, the owner is also very laid back and allowed us a very late check out that worked well for our flight schedule. The breakfast was great, the location and views are superb.

This hotel is nothing short of amazing! It is situated right in the heart of Ahangama, well within walking distance to all the local shops and restaurants and only a couple of minutes walk to the train station. Located right on the beach with direct access as well as a beautiful pool, you really have the best of both! Plenty of space within the property, with only 4 rooms, there is more thank enough space by the pool or with sun lounges for everyone to enjoy. There is also a beautiful indoor common lounge area as well as dining space. The room was stunning, with a balcony and amazing beach views. The room is very spacious with beautiful high ceilings, and spacious bathroom, the room really has everything you need! The staff and service were exceptional, with such an intimate hotel, you really get to the know the staff who really go out of their way to make your stay welcoming and comfortable, nothing is too much fuss, the staff are a real asset to the hotel. The breakfast is plentiful and delicious. 3 main options to choose from, its all cooked and prepared by the staff fresh every morning! No boring buffets here! The hotel also has a large snack, Lunch and drinks menu, all prepared fresh by the staff. We had the most amazing stay here, we didn't want to leave, it really is everything you want in a hotel! We would definitely stay again and highly recommend anyone stay here

None, it was perfect

It was a small and friendly boutique hotel that offered fabulous personal service

Very stylish and offered you a homely feel that you help yourself to tea and coffee 24 hours before

Our stay here was absolutely amazing. The location, the design of the space, the staff, the food, the pool and views, everything about it was perfect. Couldn’t recommend this more to anyone staying in the area! The guys that worked there could not have been more kind and accommodating. They were always there to help with anything we needed and were amazing people! It is one of the best places I’ve ever stayed! It feels very private as it only has a few rooms but has the service and convenience of a 5 star resort. It is directly on the ocean and right in town so we were able to walk to almost everywhere we wanted to and with the pool and the ocean you never had to leave! Was very sad to leave this place and will be back!

What a lovely shared villa. The owner was amazing, Michael made sure my partner was surprised on his birthday with helping decorate the room with balloons, birthday signs, birthday cake and Prosecco! Couldn’t thank him enough!!! The rooms are perfect size, lovely balcony & views. Breakfast was so tasty each morning made by the lovely 3 chefs there. Pool and beach access was brilliant along with walking distance to all places to eat and drink in Ahangama. I would definitely go back!

Was quite a few ants in the bathroom & balcony

Incredible beachfront hotel with stunning ocean views, a beautiful garden and pool. My hotel room and bathroom were simply but nicely decorated, spacious and clean and the bed very comfortable.

Nothing

Super location. Friendly team on site. Great room and balcony in wonderful beach

Lihinya must mean home! It’s such a special place, with special people working here that go out of their way to make your stay comfortable. The location is unbeatable and the food is amazing (try the Sri Lankan breakfast Chanaka’s Dahl and coconut sambal is the best we have ever had!). Rooms are exceptional and peaceful place to stay. Thank you Michael and to your team (Chanaka, Dinesh, Sameera, Bimsara and Vipul) for sharing your place with us… it was paradise we can’t wait to come back and wish we could have stayed longer!

Nothing it was perfect

We loved everything! from the decor to service! Staff is exceptional, very thoughtful and caring! The beach is beautiful, the most beautiful one I’ve seen in Sri Lanka! I was choosing the hotel accordingly to my surfing experience,I was just a beginner surfer, but the waves were for more advanced ones!

There’s no such thing!

I am not used to give the maximum scoring but this time it worth doing it. The hotel is the best one on the coast. It is located in front of the ocean so you wake up on the water. The hospitality and the flexibility offered were much higher than the best expectations. Michael made our journey there fantastic and we felt at home.

Nothing

Good location - fantastic chef , the breakfast was great 👍 Lovely swimming pool & the sea swimming also good. Easy to climb on a local bus to go up to Galle or down to Mirissa.

Nothing.

Very friendly and helpful staff and owner! Excellent location!

The staff were incredible! Breakfast was excellent every morning. The location was superb - right on the beach! Lots of restaurants nearby. The room was a lovely size and has a beautiful view of the ocean.

Everting was great. Mikeal and staff were very helpful and friendly. Good location, Ahanghama beach was really close to accommodation. We had always a tasty breakfast with various fresh fruits. Thank you Lihinya Villa.

This place is like heaven! It's a small boutique villa directly on the beach in one of the best areas of Sri Lanka. Michael is a wonderful host and the chefs are super friendly. You really couldn't book a more perfect stay...I only wish I had longer!

Beautiful villa with the most amazing view of the ocean- The villa is on a quiet part of the beach with direct access to the beach. With only 4 rooms, it felt intimate and cosy, the staff were brilliant always smiling and helpful and made us feel very welcome. The room (we had a room on the 1st floor) was large with high ceilings, huge windows, large balcony, an extra large bed which was really comfortable with good quality linens and the bathroom has a lovely freestanding bath. The owner Michael was very welcoming and made us feel like valued guests. The staff were on hand to make us a delicious fresh breakfast in the morning and answer any queries and just for general chats!

it would have been nice to have tea and coffee facilities in the room so you could have coffee on the balcony but it was easy enough to pop down to get a drink at any time.

Best location beach front. Close to all the cafes and surf spots. Beautiful house Clean Small and feels like home The staff is amazing, kind and welcoming Great home cooked meals

That I haven’t stayed longer :)

Its hard to beat this view. Really. Great people & atmosphere and it so nice to be in such a small villa with just 4 rooms and yet to be treated like VIPs for 12 days!

Nice and always helpful staff, great delicious food, nice villa with private yard, pool and deck chairs. Spacious room with a great see view. Direct access to the see from the villa.

It was a very nice stay, nothing to add for improvement.

I loved that we felt like being home. The staff were very kind and helpful, and always were smiling. Just like an island of peace with no more guests than 8 persons. The beach is very close just a few steps from the property and it is very clean and not crowded at all. Definetely we will come back, and will recommend this place also to our friends.

Everything was just perfect!

Excellent friendly staff that made our stay very comfortable. Beachfront location was perfect for checking the surf. High quality finishes and very comfortable room and grounds. We had reservations for 7 nights but extended for another 4 nights because we loved it there.

The view is amazing, the owner and the staff are very friendly, easy access to the ocean and very cosy and convenient

We enjoyed our stay in lihinya beach villa to the fullest. Te host michael and his crew were very friendly and helpful. The house is straight on the beach, very clean and gives the feeling of home far away from home.

Nothing

Frankly, everything. The villa is placed right next to the beach, amazing view to the ocean, peaceful garden with the pool and garden furnitures, the room was clean and cozy. The host made our stay very pleasant and comfortable. The Chef is extraordinary talented. We were delighted by his cooking skills and nice daily conversations. The villa is very cosy furnished - feels like home. If you asked me if I would go back there, my answer is quite obvious - this place is amazing.

Everything!! Location, comfort, affordability. I want to live here!!

There was some issues with hot water and working faucets.

The view is just amazing, Michael & the staff were very friendly and super attentive which made the stay very nice! Definitely coming back and recommending it to friends!

Beautiful Villa that feels like home, right on the beach. Michael the owner was extremely hospitable and helpful throughout our stay. The chef Namal went above and beyond to cook us some unbelieveable food. We cant wait to visit again. Thanks so much for having us!

Nothing. Everything was great.

Absolutely beautiful. The owner is a nice guy really welcoming! The place is amazing, beachfront with a gorgeous wiew also from the room!

Nothing

It’s more like home. Amazing beach front and breeze

The place is awesome. I hadn't really liked Ahangama my first 6 weeks there, but staying here changed my opiniom completely. It's Right on the beach, within sight and walking distance of 2 surf breaks - check the surf from your room! There's a nice pool area, brand new lawn and a bunch of sun loungers to chill on, and just 2 stairs down to a quiet beach to swim, or walk 100m to the surf. It's amazing because the hustle and bustle of the main road disappears and can't be heard. There's empty property both sides, so coconut trees everywhere, and the beach barely has anyone using it. Could definitely snorkel out the front if you wanted. Every morning there's an awesome breakfast at a time when you want it, cooked in front of you and served on the bar of a big kitchen, or on the big dining table. There's even a big couch and a communal TV. The rooms are huge, and the bathrooms are awesome with two types of shower head and actual hot water. My upstairs room had a balcony with a couple of armchairs which were awesome to sit and watch the ocean. There's power outlets everywhere around the room and great lighting (soft yellow light or brighter white lights), which are luxuries in Sri Lanka it seems. The a/c and fan work great. The building is more or less brand new and has been designed really well. WiFi worked well, and while the signal was a little weak in my room (furthest from the router), the owner tells me they're in the process of upgrading all of that + other things around the property. So, unbelievably, it's only going to become a better place to stay. I'll be back for sure.

Nothing to dislike.
