Piscine et maison magnifiques d’une propreté irréprochable. Très bien placé près d’une plage très agréable où on peut facilement faire du bodyboard, de bons restaurants pas loin. Propriétaire très sympathique et arrangeant et force de proposition pour les activités.

Es ist eine tolle Villa mit einem sehr schönen tropischen Garten. Der Pool ist neu und sehr gepflegt. Wir haben hier wunderbar entspannt. Die Vermieter sind sehr zuvorkommend und helfen jederzeit mit Tipps und auch mit Tuk Tuk und Taxi. Die Vermieter leben im Nachbarhaus und wir hatten jeden Morgen ein tolles Frühstück mit frischen Säften, Obst und jeden Tag andere Speisen! Wir hatten tolle Tage hier. Wie empfehlen diese Unterkunft mit großer Überzeugung.
Veldig hyggelig vert m/familie
We had a perfect stay in this wonderful villa. It is spacious, clean and comfy place with a beautiful private terrace and pool, surounded by a tropical garden. The hosts were very kind and friendly people who respect your privacy but if you need anything, they are here to help you. We also had a delicicous breakfast - different every day, so we could try traditional sri lanka's meals, which was an amazing experience. The villa is in walking distance to a beautuful Goyambokka beach. It was our best stay in Sri Lanka.
Les propriétaires sont vraiment super sympa, ils sont la si on manque de quoi que ce soit . Les petits déjeuner sont vraiment top et local. La villa et tres propre avec une tres grande piscine Je recommande cette villa.
Das Frühstück war einzigartig. Es wurde liebevoll und und so reichhaltig angerichtet.sogar zum Geburtstag wurde ein Ständchen gesungen 😊
Es gab nichts zu verbessern , aus unserer Sicht !!
Le logement est parfait, propre, frais, spacieux, entouré de nature. La piscine est grande, au soleil et illuminé la nuit. Nos hôtes étaient une famille très accueillante et généreuse, ils nous ont même invité à manger pour le nouvel an sri lankais ! Ils ont tout fait pour que nous passions un merveilleux séjour et nous ont même conduit à notre destination suivante ! Nous ne pouvons que recommander ce logement, autant pour un couple que pour une famille.
Unser Aufenthalt in dieser Villa war einfach perfekt. Sowohl die Villa selbst als auch jedes einzelne Zimmer waren außergewöhnlich sauber und gepflegt. Es fehlte wirklich an nichts – bis ins kleinste Detail war alles vorhanden, was man sich nur wünschen kann. Die Küche war vollständig ausgestattet und ließ keine Wünsche offen. Das sehr große Badezimmer mit Dusche war modern und komfortabel. Für ein angenehmes Raumklima sorgten sowohl die Klimaanlage als auch mehrere Ventilatoren in der gesamten Villa. Besonders beeindruckend war die Beleuchtung: Es gab zahlreiche verschiedene Lichtoptionen, die sich ganz nach Stimmung individuell einstellen ließen. Der Pool war ebenfalls makellos sauber, und der Garten wunderschön grün und gepflegt. Man fühlt sich dort vollkommen privat und ungestört – eine echte Wohlfühloase. Die Gastgeber waren äußerst freundlich, aufmerksam und jederzeit erreichbar. Auf jede Nachricht wurde sofort reagiert, und sie haben uns sogar mit selbstgemachten Köstlichkeiten überrascht, was den Aufenthalt noch besonderer gemacht hat. Insgesamt eine klare 10 von 10 – absolut empfehlenswert!

To absolutnie wyjątkowe miejsce, które zachwyca pod każdym względem. Willa jest przepięknie urządzona z dbałością o każdy, nawet najmniejszy detal. Okolica jest niezwykle malownicza, idealna do odpoczynku i relaksu, a widoki zapierają dech w piersiach. Gospodarze to prawdziwy skarb tego miejsca – niezwykle mili, serdeczni i zawsze gotowi do pomocy. Dbają o swoich gości z ogromnym zaangażowaniem, dzięki czemu można poczuć się tu naprawdę wyjątkowo. Pobyt tutaj to czysta przyjemność i gwarancja niezapomnianych wspomnień. Z całego serca polecam!❤️❤️❤️
De très loin le plus beau lieu de tout le séjour ! La villa est privée avec deux chambres , une grande salle de bain et grande cuisine ainsi qu’une magnifique piscine, juste la taille nécessaires. Bien climatisé, très bonne literie. La famille est d’une grande gentillesse. L’hôte nous à conduit absolument partout avec son tuk tuk et revenait nous récupérer quand nous en avions besoin. La villa est très bien situé non loins de la ville mais surtout des plus belles plages. Et à 20min une « calme » où nous avons pu nager avec les enfants et les TORTUES 🐢 ( pas plus touristique que sa). L’hôte les connait toutes par coeur , il est exceptionnel. Les petits dej sont gargantuesques et excellents ! Étant également chauffeur, il nous à conduit jusqu’à Galle pour la suite de notre séjour. Merci infiniment, nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir ❤️
The location is ideal for exploring along the coast, there are beautiful beaches within walking distance, lots of eateries, and tuk tuk ride to even more areas. This was my favourite part of Sri lanka and the villa was fantastic. Our hosts made breakfast each morning which was a different spread each day. Lots of things we had not tried yet in sri lanka. I couldn't recommend the villa enough, and the breakfast was a culinary delight. One of us is gluten free and the breakfast was adjusted seamlessly.
Extremely comfortable, relaxing and a peaceful haven from all the hectic town life. Sitting on the veranda amongst the beautiful garden. The family are wonderful, so kind, caring and willing to assist in anyway. I was unwell one day and their thoughtfulness and caring was amazing. Great to visit and explore different beaches in the area, lots of variety and extremely convenient to have your own tuk tuk service in tap! The washing machine was a super bonus with ironing board.
No. As a suggestion, further investment to this beautiful villa would benefit with an upgrade to the kitchen area, plus plumbing for hot running hot water in the bathroom and kitchen.
Our recent stay at White Villa was just perfect! It is a beautiful villa, really clean, and spacious, with excellent facilities, which made our stay really comfortable and relaxing. Upul, and his lovely family were fantastic hosts, making us feel so welcome. Upul was extremely helpful, offering great advice about the local area, and helping to organise transport, etc. His family were so generous with their hospitality, bringing us delicious Sri Lanka honey, bananas picked from their trees, home made yogurt, refreshing Sri Lankan tea, and fresh mango juice, which was wonderful. Every evening they came and switched on the lights, and the hydro jets in the pool, which was an extra treat to enjoy after a busy day enjoying the stunning beaches. ( a tip- Do visit Goyambokka beach, and Silent beach walkable from Villa, and Dikwella beach ( 30 mins tuk tuk ride away). On our last morning Upul and his family, presented us with the most delicious breakfast, enough to feed an army. The best we have enjoyed in Sri Lanka! Myself, and my son were sad to leave White Villa. We loved our stay here so much. White Villa is up there as one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. We definitely would love to come back… Highly recommend!

Nous avons été merveilleusement accueilli . La maison est très agréable, très paisible et très confortable, un petit havre de paix! Les petits déjeuners délicieux, variés, copieux et servis directement sur la terrasse de la maison. Nos hôtes qui vivent juste à côté, toujours disponibles pour répondre à nos questions et rendre notre séjour inoubliable . Les premières plages à 5mn en scooter .
Überragendes Frühstück (verschiedenes frisches Obst, hervorragenendes Gemüseomlette, frischer Büffelquark), riesiger Papaya-Begrüßungsdrink, sehr freundliche und zuvorkommende Gastgeber. Neue, starke Waschmaschine und Leinen auf der Terrasse zum Trocknen. Akutell wird ein Pool vor der Veranda gebaut, was das Übernachtungserlebnis mit Sicherheit perfektioniert. Traumstrand in 10 bis 15 Minuten fußfläufig erreichbar. Außergewöhnlich sauber. Wasser und Bier im Kühlschrank. Absoute Empfehlung!
Des hôtes qui ont su créer une superbe villa pour découvrir la côte sud. La villa est spacieuse, les lits sont excellents, la climatisation parfaite. La terrasse et le jardin sont parfaitement entretenus Les petits-déjeuners sont incomparables : choix, fait maison et copieux
We had a wonderful 2-night stay here. The villa was spotless and comfortable. The location was peaceful yet still convenient for nearby sights. Highly recommended for a relaxing family gateway.
Secluded house with high privacy, very peaceful and quiet, no any noise at all. Clean and spacious, surrounded by lots of greenery. Kitchen with all necessary equipment, washing machine, convenient terrace. Very friendly and helpful owners.
Everything was just Perfect! Villa, garden, servis. We felt like members of The Family. The owner is very welcome and can drive you wherever you want - with tuktuk or car. We hope we will come back next year 🩵.
Everything about this place was top quality. Massive comfy beds, strong hot shower, aircon, full kitchen, beautiful garden. It's all thought-out to make your stay as comfortable as possible. It's great for a couple of nights or longer term stays. Walking distance to beaches, and just a short drive to explore more of the south coast. Upul and his family are amazing hosts - such a welcoming family who will go out of their way to accommodate your needs. Bonus points for the beautiful dog, Rocky (Upul will make sure you're comfortable with him being around - which we definitely were).

The Villa is absolutely wonderful! Very spacious & exceptionally clean. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need for your stay. The host even provides powder for the washing machine! The outdoor areas are great - a large dining table & a great sitting area on the really spacious covered verandah overlooking the beautiful garden filled with trees. The bedrooms have both fans & ac and the kitchen, outdoor dining & outdoor sitting areas all have ceiling fans. We had a private entrance into the garden & always felt that we had total privacy. BUT the BEST thing about White Villa is most definitely Upul & his family. You could not ask for better hosts. They are kind & generous and absolutely delightful. Our rice & curry dinner was one of the very best (& my partner has previously lived in SL!). They arranged for hire scooters to be ready for us on arrival & nothing was too much trouble- Upul even took my broken shoe into Tangalle to get fixed. Upul has both a tuktuk & a van so if you need any sort of transport, he has it covered!! Whilst the Villa itself was perfect for our 2-week stay, it was really the family who made it the best time we have had on our many trips to SL.
There was nothing we didn’t like!! The property is just great.
It was a wonderful stay! Comfortable beds air-conditioning a kitchen everything what you need! Absolutely recommend! And they have the cutest dog!
very nice villa, super friendly family and near to the beach The owner drove us every evening to the town for dinner and they also made breakfast for us, eventhough we haven’t booked it. We really loved everything at White Villa.
This is such a wonderful little homestay. More like a private Villa, quiet, private, clean, own garden, spacious property whilst providing all the benefits that a homestay can provide. Upul and his family are lovely and can be on hand whenever needed. The breakfast provide is lovely and was different each day, Upul has bikes you can use but also has a taxi and Tuk Tuk service so if you want to do anything Upul can help you do it in the easiest, cost effective and safe manner. We only had 2 nights as we were passing through on a last minute detour to Tangalle but will hopefully come back and stay for longer one day. There are two great beaches in easy walking distance and a short Tuk Tuk ride into town. Upul would take us in an come and collect us later if we sent him a WhatsApp.
Nothing
The hosts are very helpful. They will gladly help with everything. Rich breakfast. There is a beautiful garden around the villa. Functional air conditioning, fast wifi. It is a 5-minute walk to the beach. Upon arrival, chilled beers are prepared in the fridge.
Some people may mind the partially uncovered shower. It's nice, but in case of rain, water is everywhere in the bathroom.
I returned to White Villa in February 2025 after staying there in 2024 (see my other review), because I loved it so much!! What to say? Still the best place in Tangalle/Goyambokka with all necessary amenities :-) In one year the garden grew a lot, now its even greener and you have total privacy. Upuls family also built a second homestay close to their house, so its possible to visit with a party/group of up to 6 people, if you book both (White Villa and White Villa Homestay, altogether 3 rooms/beds), not counting small kids. Upul can also help you with all needs regarding traveling (Scooter, transportation, logistics around Tangalle). Nature, beaches, home-made food and of course the wonderful family of Upul will make your stay at White Villa an unforgettable experience! Thank you so much for everything!

Just returned home after spending over two weeks here. The Villa is spacious and well equipped. In pleasant surroundings with a large covered veranda overlooking a lovely garden with many local birds, flowers and plants. We only used the kitchen for making drinks, but there is more than adequate space and facilities to cook meals if you wanted. The two bedrooms are large, both with modern AC and large ceiling fans, and enough storage space. We found the bed/ mattress super comfortable and slept really well. Towels and bed linen change and room cleaning was done regularly and on request. You can choose what time you want your breakfast, which was very tasty and changed daily and included local breakfast dishes, fruit, fruit juice, tea, water, yoghurt, omelettes, toast etc.. However, you can make requests and we also ate a couple of evening meals there too, which were lovely and home cooked, and reasonably priced. The owner Upul and his lovely family and are exceptionally kind and flexible, live next door and are at hand to help. We did three trips organised by Upul, and thoroughly enjoyed them. Upul was also at hand with his tuk tuk for local rides, to the beach or shop for example. Also, my wife has some walking difficulties and after finding out, two hand rails were quickly constructed leading from the lane to the garden path. Nice walks in land up to the lake and local village and temple. You can also walk into Tangalle town centre in about 30 minutes via these country roads which is a lot more pleasant than using the main road
Nothing really
Hands down - it was unforgettable experience! A comfortable and clean villa with 2 super large beds, large kitchen and spacious shower with a small roof opening just above the shower so you can watch stars or feel tropical rain during your shower time. There is an electrical boiler for the hot shower water, so we always had hot water with good pressure! Mattress and linens were absolutely perfect, AC was also working good. Villa itself is surrounded by tropical trees. You will see monkeys, if you are lucky. We were not :) Breakfast was served in the shadow of the terrace and was truly great with local products like curd, pancakes, fresh juice, fruits and of course fried eggs to enjoy while overlooking the greenery and listening for tropical fauna songs. Villa’s owner was very attentive and helped us by getting us to the nearest beaches using his tuk-tuk and arranging a trip to Udawalawe national park. Overall absolutely 10/10 for the price we paid.
Everything was great.
The villa is beautiful with large windows facing the garden with banana trees and coconut palms. You can relax on a private veranda and watch fireflies at night. It's a family-friendly place offering a lot of privacy but also space for socialising with Utul, Nirosha and their three lovely children. We loved Tangalle beaches and the White Villa - it's a perfect tranquil place. A really great start of our holiday.
Nice villa with two bedrooms, showers and kitchen. Rooms are spacious with big windows so you get a lot of daylight. Air conditioning works perfectly. Shower is big, also shower with warm water is there. Kitchen was greatly equipped with all we needed, including big fridge with ice. Villa was exceptionally clean. There was nice garden perfectly maintained by the owners. It was also possible to order a dinner what we also did and dinner was great. Owner and his family were very friendly and helpful. They live in house next to villa. We also felt enough privacy. Our breakfasts at White villa were perfect! Delicious Sri Lankan food also different every day.
The White Villa is very well located in Tangale as a base to explore things around: temples, many beaches and the surroundings are very calm and beautiful. You have a separated villa for yourself since there are only 2 rooms available and they don't rent them at the same time. Our hosts were amazing in making us feel at home, the breakfast (and dinner) was very good. They gave us great tips to explore things around (like temples during full moon day) and we also rented a scooter with them. Our stay and 2 days with them was definitely one of the highlights of our 2 weeks here, thank you so much 😄

Wonderfull family run wonderful vila :). We decided to prolong our vacation to take a chance for a second visit of this charming place. Country side location, very relaxing environment with subtile touch to make your stay unforgettable. Delicious breakfast nothing to compare to so called "continental" tasteless stuff served in many branded hotels. Host available all day long, staff very polite and discreet. Very comfortable, private, beautifully designed villa with a very comfortable and wide bed covered with mosquito net, a well-equipped kitchen with everything you need for cooking (even a mixer), a huge terrace with relaxation and dining areas. Fibre optic internet link - fast and stable. It is worth mentioning the tastefully furnished bathroom. The villa is immersed in a carefully maintained tropical garden, we could watch how tropical fruits spread and grow, listen to various bird songs from morning to evening, and observe the migration of monkeys through the treetops every evening. It is a unique experience. The villa is away from the main road, nothing prevents you from enjoying the sounds of the tropical forest. The lighting is planned very wisely, you can turn on the light where it is convenient for you. It is allowed to leave the car in the owner's yard. There are two beaches nearby to the nearest about 600 m. However, it is worth exploring further afield, which are truly plentiful. Exceptional breakfast - an egg dish (a tribute to European taste) with fresh juice, fruit and a new, delicate national dish every day perfectly prepared by the caring owners. The host family located in the neighbouring house surrounded us with sincere care. A special word of praise should be said about the hosts' kitchen. For dinner, guests can choose dishes from the a la carte menu, which are definitely worth trying. All tasted were delicately flavoured, fresh, made just for you. We appreciate Upul and his family for time spend there.

We spent part of our vacation in Sri Lanka very comfortably in a private, beautifully designed villa with a very comfortable and wide bed covered with mosquito net, a well-equipped kitchen with everything you need for cooking (even a mixer), a huge terrace with relaxation and dining areas.

Nothing to say.
The villa itself is beautiful, large, clean, and well-fitted with fans, air conditioning, a free-to-use washing machine, fridge, and cooker. The garden and balcony are super peaceful and well-kept. The host family is all you could ever ask for in a host family. They are all very kind, helpful, and will go to any lengths to make sure your stay is as enjoyable as possible. They let us rent a scooter/motorbike for a good price and provided us with amazing breakfasts and dinners. Even when one of us had a medical emergency, our host Upul drove us to the hospital free of charge at 10 pm, then again at 8 am, and waited with us for hours, translating for us and helping us through the procedures. We cannot recommend this place enough.
Nothing.
The whole family who runs the house was very cheerful and helpful. Nirosha prepared satisfying and delicious breakfast. The children Pasan and Sayurangi were very smiley and friendly, we spent an evening chatting and singing together. Upul was a really good man who helped us about everything during our stay. He took us to the places we wanted by his tuktuk with good prices. When we got sick, he took care of us. The house was perfect with a great design! The kitchen was very clean and useful. The bathroom felt quite fresh and the ceiling was open and it was a marvellous experience to take a shower while raining. Their dog Rocky was cute. We really appreciate the family and we want to visit again for sure!
Very clean place, both rooms have air conditioners, mosquito nets on every bed, very hospitable host, I would say very-very hospitable 😍. They have menu with food you can order

White Villa offers super good, very very clean and modern accomodation and amazing food in the most beautifull part of south Sri Lanka. Upul and his family is wonderfull. This place is far beyond what you can imagine as Sri Lankan hospitality. They are kind, polite and funny. Upul also helped us to go on small trips around Tangalle. We are travelling with our 6months old daughter and it is always a good felling to know we are at a clean and safe place. And White Villa is, very much! They also make dinner at a very reasonable price and it is good, tasty and traditional as the breakfast which was included and was a good start in the morning. They recomended hidden beaches which were the most beautifull among the beaches we visited in Sri Lanka, the ultimate beach experience we could feel here at the Silent Beach. When we arrived we decided to extend our stay and that was an excellent idea!!!
Amazing villa for absolute value for money. The family was so kind and wonderful and bathroom had an outdoor feel to it!
The road going into the villa can be rough and creepy at night.
A brand-new house for yourself, with 2 spacy separate bedrooms (with powerful AC and fan), kitchen (with fridge, freezer and sufficient tools to cook yourself), bathroom, and a huge terrace overlooking a beautiful garden. Kitchen and bathroom are accessible from both bedrooms. The owners family lives close by in the next building and are easily available, if needed. All in a quiet area, 5-10 minutes walk to several beaches (Goyamboka, Silent beach). Yummy breakfast is massive, scooter rental and transport easily arranged. And you’ll meet an extremely helpful and friendly family (including a playful dog). Everything just perfect :-)
Nothing :-)
Beautiful, clean and new accommodation. Very nice and friendly family. I definitely recommend it for a longer stay.
A little further from the beach.
The villa is beautiful and clean, we loved spending our evenings on the patio listening to the wind and the birds! It’s close to the most beautiful beaches in Tangalle area and the family is super nice, they always have us the best advice and little treats! The breakfast is delicious and abundant with a lot of variety, we tasted something different everyday and this is definitely the best breakfast we had in Sri Lanka so far! Special mention for Rocky, most playful dog ever, and the neighbours kitten who came to visit us every evening in the garden for some cuddles! 😍

This Villa is just Perfect. The Roms are comfy and clean. The bathroom has a nice ceiling window. There is Even a fridge with water and beer that you can buy. The family is very lovely and the breakfast was one of the Best in Sri Lanka!
I stayed at the White Villa for about nine days and was very happy with my stay. The house is modern and clean with two comfortable bed rooms and a kitchen. It has a big terrace overlooking a private garden. The area is well situated and peaceful. You can easily walk to Goyambokka beach or reach beautiful Silent beach with a short Tuk Tuk ride. The town is also not far away. Upul and his family are extremely tentative and caring, every day they made sure I had everything I needed. Every morning I was served a generous breakfast. I had many of my meals at the house and the family provided me with lovely authentic Sri Lankan cooking. I hope to come again one day!
Have nothing to complain about. I had some small request for small things which were always provided promptly.
A discovery. It doesn't get any quieter than this, but you can still be in town and on the beautiful beach in no time. Extremely friendly and helpful hosts. Whatever you need, they know how to help. We will definitely be back.
