Treasure Rock

The place was so cozy and private. Staff was so good and food was really good.

Absolutely beautiful place and stay! Very relaxing atmosphere and amazing staff and food. We felt like royalty and it was perfect!

Fantastic Villa with pool in the nowhere to explore pure nature at the rough cost. The ocean is amazing for walks and the nearby river with rice fields has many birds, monkeys and big "salti"-crocodiles - take care:) In Kirirnda is nothing but a very nice temple on the rocks. The villa´s garden is beautiful, and you get every evening a outside diner with a safari fireplace atmosphere. Amazing Staff - so freindly and heartfelt!

+ Die Unterkunft ist wunderschön eingerichtet. Der Essbereich liegt an einem kleinen Teich und man kann Schildkröten und andere kleinere Tiere Beobachten. Der Garten ist wunderbar und es entsteht eine sehr angenehme Athomsphäre, sowohl am Abend als auch am Morgen. + Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig und sauber. Alles hat wunderbar funktioniert (auch die Dusche). + Besonders hervorheben möchten wir das Personal. Egal welches Anliegen wir hatten, uns wurde immer sofort geholfen. Man wird vollumfänglich versorgt und es war eine sehr angenehme Stimmung. + Das Essen ist ein Traum! Man erhält am Abend jeweils eine Suppe/einen grossen Hauptgang und ein Dessert. Es war das bisher beste Essen was wir in Sri Lanka hatten und nur schon deshalb würden wir das Hotel erneut buchen! Ich kann diese Unterkunft allen empfehlen und wir würden auf jeden Fall erneut kommen!

- Der Pool hatte während unseres Aufenthalts einen grünstich, weswegen wir unsicher warwn ob man diesen nutzen kann. Ca. 300m entfernt ist jedoch ein Restaurant bei welchem man für 1500 Rupien/h den Pool nutzen kann. Wenn Ihr da etwas zu mittag esst könnt Ihr Ihn nutzen und müsst nicht für jede Stunde drauf zahlen.

A wonderful wonderful property, Beautifully styled with art, books and antique furniture, has the feel and ambience of a rather grand but cosy private Villa. The staff are particularly kind and attentive, and the chef is really a top class chef, food worthy of a starred London restaurant. The owner has a few other Villa hotels and based on our stay here, we went to another of her hotels, Villa Vista in Haputale - One of the most magical places we have ever stayed. Cannot recommend this hotel highly enough, just brilliant and urge you to find others in the same group

De mannen die de boel draaien waren zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Maar vooral de chefkok maakte een feest van het verblijf

Het huis is mooi en erg karakteristiek. Maar water en electra ging niet geheel feilloos...

Service, food, property itself

Lack of hot water at times

Si on ne parle que de l'hôtel il est très bien. Il faut aimer le calme car il est très isolé. L'hotel est très joli, les chambres spacieuses et très bien décorées. Les petits déjeuners sont succulents..proche du parc de yala

Mais uniquement pour une à deux nuits max. On a essayé de faire modifier car nous avions pris 3 nuits. Impossible de s'arranger. 🤷🏻‍♀️..la piscine était bien mais pas d'accès direct à la mer.

这家酒店是一个小别墅，装修的很漂亮，房屋打扫的很干净，工作人员非常友善。位置离海边非常近，而且海岸线很美！早餐和晚餐都非常丰盛，而且就餐环境非常好，在一个很漂亮的凉亭里，布置的很浪漫。整个晚上给了我非常完美的享受。 第二天一早去Yala Safari，回来晚了点，超过了退房的时间，工作人员也没有催促或多收取费用。

洗澡洗到一半，刚使用沐浴露，忽然就停水了，幸亏当时不算太晚，打了工作人员电话，又裹着浴巾出去找了工作人员，都还没睡，等了一会儿把水泵修好了。不敢想象如果再晚一些洗澡，中间出了问题，工作人员都睡了联系不上该怎么办。

Best food we’ve had in Sri Lanka so far. A beautiful place with a calm garden nice pool. Friendly and helpful staff.

Internet connection was a little spotty. A couple of more pool chairs would have been nice.

Thank you to Fawmy for the extraordinary food, to Buddika for expert service, to Ranjit for maintaining a beautiful garden and foremost to Madam for creating a bit of artistic paradise on Earth

Magical. Enchanting. Extraordinary. Treasure Rock deserves all of these labels. Thank you, Chef Fawmy, for fabulous breakfast and dinner. Thank you, Buddika, for attentive service .. and the King Coconut. A thank you also to the staff members, who kept the pool area immaculate and the large property secure. A slice of paradise in Kirinda !

N/A

Quiet and well maintained with beautiful design and great amenities. The food was simply outstanding- I definitely recommend going full board!

Everything was perfect

Das Essen war ausgezeichnet und außergewöhnlich gut – ein echtes Highlight! Das Personal war außerdem sehr nett und aufmerksam.

Die Lage ist etwas abseits, und im Ort ist insgesamt nicht viel los. Man ist allerdings innerhalb weniger Minuten am Meer. Ideal für alle, die Ruhe suchen und entspannen möchten.

What can I say, this is not quite off the beaten track but enough for it to be a unique and memorable experience. Our room was classically adorned and shuttered given some of the me very interesting wildlife that we met but a lack of light did not detract because there was so much else to enjoy. The pool and grounds were idyllic and in keeping with environment, monitor lizards just walked on by and the bird life was great to see The food was exemplary and truly authentic and not lacking in portions. We ate at a very romantic outdoor terrace next to a pond which at night was full of turtles. We couldn’t buy alcohol there but amazingly there was what I can only describe as the most unique off licence over the road. Limited choice but open 10-10 except poya days (religious holiday). In the other direction was a very nice seafood restaurant who don’t mind you just having a drink. We’re drinkers and so made the most of those facilities. Ricky and his team become your best mates during your stay and they will live long in the memory as well as the incredible deserted beach just over the road. A wonderful stay!!

Absolutely nothing.

The property was really nice and then food we had was amazing! Udi was the friendliest person we met in Sri Lanka.

Everything! This has been the most amazing experience and we have loved every minute of our stay. The room was perfect and spotlessly clean and the extensive grounds and pool area were beautifully maintained. The breakfasts and evening meal were so perfect, we stayed three nights and had a real variety. The staff were just the best and were so friendly and accommodating. We have had the most enjoyable and relaxing three nights and could have stayed longer!

Nothing!

dieserOrt ist unbeschreiblich. es gibt nur 4 Zimmer, dementsprechend ist es eine super ruhige und angenehme Atmosphere, toller Außenbereich mit Pool und Outdoor Wohnzimmer. Das Personal ist super nett, hilfsbereit, zuvorkommend und sehr unterstützend. Das Essen ist unfassbar lecker und abwechslungsreich. wir werden definitiv nocheinmal kommen. es lohnt sich wirklich ein paar Tage zu bleiben und einfach nur zu entspannen.

Beautifully designed place, lovely staff. I was unwell during our one night stay and they were very kind to me. The room is comfortable and clean. Unfortunately I didnt taste the food but my partner did and loved it!

Hotel in a beautiful and very picturesque location, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. The breakfasts were absolutely wonderful - a great variety of fresh, high-quality products and very tasty. The chef deserves special praise: every meal was prepared with great care and had excellent flavor. The restaurant atmosphere was pleasant and inviting, making breakfasts a real highlight of our stay.

On the downside - when we entered the room it was very cold, with the air conditioning set to 19°C. There was no remote control for the AC in the room. We were told the remote was broken. We waited about 45-60 minutes for a new one while sitting in the cold room.

This was the most incredible stay. The staff and owner are fantastic people, who made our stay so wonderful. The rooms, grounds, and pool were just amazing, and the food was the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka. We wish we could have stayed a week.

Nothing! We loved it!

Niente

Le camere da noi prenotate erano occupate da altri ospiti e non disponibili per le notti prenotate. Nessuno ci ha avvisato ed è stata assunta la scusa che il mio cellulare non era raggiungibile come e’ normale essendo un numero italiano ma nessuno si è messo in contatto con me né via whatsapp né via e-mail e neppure attraverso la messaggistica di Booking. Una ulteriore scusa per non aver onorato la prenotazione e’ stata che non avevo pagato in antecipo. Non mi risulta di dover essere io a pagare, ma e’ la struttura che normalmente addebita l’importo sulla carta di credito messa a garanzia della prenotazione. Scorretti, in malafede e forse incompetenti. Da quello che ho visto quando mi sono presentata da loro la struttura è maltenuta e sporca, divani macchiati e disordine diffuso , piscina torbida.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The property is beautifully decorated, peaceful and quiet, with monkeys stopping by each day. The grounds are stunning, and the food and service were exceptional — easily the best we experienced in Sri Lanka. The 5am coffee before our safari was a wonderful and thoughtful touch. The staff were incredibly friendly and so kind to our young children. We will be back!

Full board here was amazing, fantastic meals all round. Rooms and the rest of the property looked and felt lovely. The pool was great for reading by after our safari.

This accommodation is brilliant! The surroundings are beautiful, both the grounds of the property and the beach across from the property. The gardens are well kept and full of brids. It is the most peaceful and calm place we have stayed during our trip to sri lanak. The building is stunning and the rooms are clean and well thought out. The team are lovely, friendly and attentive but respectful of your space. The food is exceptional, you should book half board as the breakfast and dinner were both amazing. We booked a safari through them and it was great. What a place and the people really make the stay, staying here will make your trip to the national park an even better experience.

Nothing! This place is amazing

Прекрасное место. Небольшой отель (на мой взгляд не более 6 номеров). Чуткий персонал, невероятные завтраки и ужины на открытом воздухе с разнообразными блюдами, зеленая территория, тишина ночью для комфортного сна. Также нам помогли организовать комфортный тур в Яла Парк на Сафари.

Прямого выхода к океану нет, но это решается 5 минутной прогулкой.

Amazing good, amazing location, amazing property and amazing staff. They arranged a safari fir us, served us the best dinner we’ve had in a while. Highly recommend staying here if you are coming to Yalla.

Treasure Rock in Kirinda was voor ons pure rust. Je zit in een stille, groene cocon met een mooie tuin en zwembad en je wandelt zo naar de zee.  Wat het echt uitzonderlijk maakt is het eten. Het voelde alsof we een bijna privé chef-kok hadden: elke maaltijd vers, verfijnd en prachtig gepresenteerd, met een diner setting die ’s avonds extra sfeervol is.  De service is warm, attent en persoonlijk, zonder opdringerig te zijn. Absolute aanrader. 

Niets

We had one of the most magical and unforgettable holiday experiences of our lives at Treasure Rock. From the very first moment, the staff made us feel so genuinely welcomed. They were incredibly kind, thoughtful, proactive, and always smiling. In a casual comment, my boyfriend mentioned that it was my birthday, and during dinner they surprised me with a beautiful, delicious cake with candles and even sang for me. It completely melted my heart. We were the only guests at the time, which made the experience feel even more special… like staying in the most dreamy private villa just for us. The location is simply breathtaking; it truly felt like paradise. The property is stunning, with a gorgeous garden and pool, and the interior design is filled with so much love and taste. Our room was spotless, cozy, and absolutely perfect. And the food… words are not enough. It was extraordinary. The chef is pure magic and truly deserves a Michelin star. Every dish was not only unbelievably delicious but also presented like a piece of art. Using so many fresh local ingredients and everything homemade, each meal felt like a celebration. We were completely speechless and so grateful. We fell in love with this place and the people, and we wish with all our hearts that we could have stayed much longer. We will cherish these memories forever. THANK YOU Fawmy, Buddika and Ranjith! ❤️ Marina & Yanis

Loved our two night stay in this hidden gem. Staff is incredibly kind & attentive, great food and close proximity to Yala National Park. Would highly recommend!

The property has been built in colonial style and is impeccably decorated with antiques. The whole aesthetic is wonderful and the planting around the pool and grounds is amazing. The WiFi is super fast. The food was incredible - a highlight of our stay. Most of all the room was the best room we’ve had in Sri Lanka so far. It was so cosy with all the cushions and blankets. Tastefully decorated with local artwork. The aircon was super quiet and nicely cold. Great shower and wonderful toiletries.

There was one day where there was no power from 10 til 6. We’re weren’t proactively told about this and if we had been we would have planned our day differently. Ie gone out for an excursion. But as it was we planned a couple of rest days and not having aircon on this whole was a pain as we wanted to rest in the room. The manager should perhaps have forewarned us. The food is incredible and the dinner setting is fabulous overlooking the small pond with atmospheric lighting but we were not sure on drinks. The property could perhaps have a drinks menu with prices so people can choose or understand if they can bring their own.

Amazing villa with amazing staff. Very beautifully decorated and cozy. Maybe the best breakfast I’ve had. Recommend

A bit off location with a lot of wild animals (positive or negative)

The staff were amazing. Jan and I felt as though we were in paradise, away from the frenetic atmosphere of Yala. Food and attention to detail was exemplary.

There were no problems

This was the highlight of my month in Sri Lanka - I have been staying at a new accommodation every three or so nights and Treasure Rock was incredible and far superior to anywhere else. You HAVE to stay here if you are lucky enough to have the chance. The most stellar element of this place is the staff. Fawmy is an incredible chef and absolutely spoiled me with delicious food that was better than many of the restaurants I have eaten at throughout my trip. Everyone is kind, generous, helpful, friendly and genuine in wanting to make your stay special. And they succeeded! I loved staying here so much I booked an extra four nights because I didn’t want to leave. The mattress is comfortable, bedding is beautiful and everything is spotlessly clean. This property itself is stylish and thoughtfully furnished and designed. It is in a great location, right opposite the beach, close enough to the necessary services but removed enough that it is quiet and tranquil. Furthermore, when I was unwell the lovely team went above and beyond to help me, providing breakfast even when I had slept through ‘til the afternoon, making up my bed with fresh sheets almost daily since I sweated through them with a fever, and even dropped off the occasional juice or king coconut in the afternoon as a surprise, without any prompt - they just made an extra effort daily. When I am back in Sri Lanka,staying at this place is a priority for me and it should be for you too.

Food, déco, calm, service

The fact we had to leave

Absolutely stunning property, extremely tasteful and original furniture and decor. Grounds are lovely. Staff exceptional as was the food. Amazing, highly recommended.

Nothing.

I would like to share my experience at Treasure Rock. It was my first staying in villa’s type hotel and it’s absolutely amazing! The staff is very polite and kind, always here to help, top service! The food is delicious and not very spicy, enormous portions. The director of the hotel is a really nice lady! She organized us a free ride to the waterfalls. The villa is a masterpiece, so stylish! 10 out of 10! Swimming pool is clean and very useful considering big ocean’s weaves. Nearby there is the Yala Park with exotic animals and beautiful mountains. I recommend this villa to those who really wants to stay away from big cities, it’s so calm and peaceful. However words are not enough to describe this magnificent place, you have to discover it by yourself!

Room and poolside were nice looking and comfortable. If you like remote place with nice decoration, this is nice.

Staff did not speak enough english and seemed like to be a little lost and not professional at all. Also promised to organise safari and transportation, but started to do it only when asked if it was arrengaged. Food is a matter of taste, but this did not make the trick for us. Staff was helpfull and did their best though. Remote location. Not options to eat anywhere else and did not serve alcohol. Price and value did not meet so well.

Gorgeous interior design in a lovingly preserved historic building. Lovely pool and quiet landscapes. Thank you to chef Ranjit and staff Budikka. One-of-a-kind experience.

I did not stay here while in Kirinda due to limited space (the owner and I connected on Whatsapp and he helped in finding me another property nearby) but most of the people in my group did. I wanted to write a review based on my experience with the property and the communication with the host when they realized that they were double booked. We had dinner for 16 there and it was amazing. The Host family is great and the property is in an amazing location. My friends that stayed there loved it. It’s a little bit more expensive than some of the other options but from what I could see it’s worth it!

Environment surrounding Service Food

High story building next to the villa is not matching with the calmness of the place Shouldn’t be over crowded else it will lose its charm

Incredible accomodation, amazing food, lovely people and awesome swimming pool & garden. Really close to beautiful beach. This is def one of the greatest locations to relax and enjoy Sri Lanka.

We had the property to ourselves for three out of four nights and it was idyllic. Tons of wildlife, great pool and lounging area. Our host Sampath was attentive and helpful. Breakfasts and evening meals fantastic. The communal areas were beautiful and very stylish. Sampath organised Yala safari and Bundala bird watching . Both were great.

Spoilt when another couple arrived and needed disco music accompanying them wherever they were including in their bedroom at midnight, but you can’t blame the property or Sampath for their taste in 80s disco!

Beautiful old Sri Lankan house sympathetically modernised and stylishly decorated. Excellent swimming pool and nice garden. Wonderful, considerate staff. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was delicious.

Proximity of multi storey building. There was no name to identify the property so we had a little difficulty finding it.

The house is located in a secluded garden with a lovely pool. The rooms are beautifully decorated. The Sri Lankan food was delicious and the service by the staff excellent!

Excellent staff with great chef and food beautiful villa with pool

no wifi facilities

The best thing about Treasure Rock is its scenic location. It’s like retreating to a page of Burnett’s The Secret Garden, where the outdoors combines wild beauty and blissful solitude, with occasional peacock cries to bring you back from daydreaming. With al fresco dining of candle-lit dinners, continental breakfasts and local-style lunches, my partner and I had the absolute best time here. Friendly staff always at our service made our holiday so comforting, and even arranged a safari to visit the Yala National Park, making it one of the top highlights of our stay.

Well, nothing at all! Our stay was such a luxurious and personalised experience that we only wished it were longer 😊

My recent stay at Treasure Rock was a genuine revelation. Tucked away in Kirinda's breathtaking landscapes, this retreat offers an unparalleled blend of natural beauty and warm hospitality. The moment I stepped onto the property, I was embraced by a sense of tranquility, and calmness. The accommodations seamlessly merged modern comfort with local charm, and the staff's sincere warmth made me feel like a cherished guest. Dining outside in nature was one of my favourite things to do at Treasure besides having plenty of dips in the pool. The staff was kind enough to arrange us a safari to Yala and made sure we had an excellent time. Overall escaping the buzzling city to calm and serene Treasure Rock was exactly what I needed both mentally and physically.
