Seems really the best location for staying in Hikkaduwa. Best beach 3min walk. DreamTime is total relaxation. No noise or light pollution only nature.

Facing the beachfront, DORMERO Hotel Sri Lanka Hikkaduwa Beach offers 5-star accommodation in Hikkaduwa and features an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre and garden. With a terrace, the property also has a restaurant, as well as a bar. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. A fantastic place right by the ocean. The hotel staff, along with the hotel manager and the hotel's four-paw manager, made us feel right at home from the very moment our car pulled up to the entrance. The attention to detail was unprecedented, and the small touches everywhere continued to surprise us, even after a few days.

This 5-star hotel offers a terrace. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. One of the perfect stay we had during our Sri Lanka Trip. Villa Rumassala Luxury Chalets exceed all our expectations. Villas were huge and exceptionally clean. Kitchen was well equipped and bathroom had a washing machine too. There was greenery all around and so very peaceful. The staff was so welcoming, warm and always smiling. Their hospitality was one of the finest. We used to order food in room service and it was super delicious. Somedays I really miss this place. Whenever I visit again, without a second thought I will only stay here.

Set in Ahangama, 600 metres from Kabalana Beach, Terra Resort offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. Located around 18 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium, the hotel with free WiFi is also 18 km away from Galle Fort. The hotel has a children's playground and pool views, and guests can enjoy a meal at the restaurant or a drink at the bar. This might just be my favourite resort on the south coast of Sri Lanka. It was great value for money, the rooms were spacious and very clean. I slept amazingly during my stay as the bed was very comfortable. The manager and staff were friendly and very helpful with giving me recommendations and booking me tuktuks into town. I work online so the plus was the hotel had fast internet and good coffee. I’ll definitely be back at Terra.

Villa Sea View is a recently renovated apartment in the centre of Galle, featuring parking on-site and soundproof accommodation with private terraces. The property has sea and garden views, and is 100 metres from Mahamodara Beach. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, full-day security and currency exchange for guests. Walkable distance to the entrance of Galle Fort. Superbly clean and wonderful view from the room. I would further recommend rooms on the higher floor which is nearing completion next November which will give you a way better view. The toilet and shower is clean and fitting with quality fittings and finishing. Beds were comfy , room size is a bit small but wasn't an issue. Nice seating area in the balcony to enjoy the sea view right in front of the rooms. The food is also very good and tasty, their seafood is one of the best . The owner Ms. Darshie is a very friendly and helpful, she really takes her guest to the heart and ensures each one of them has a comfortable stay. She doubles up as the chef and made us the best breakfast ever ! Overall this is the best hotel for us in the entire Sri Lanka! A special mention for the husband whom took the trouble to drop us off at the Railway station on our departure. Thank you Sir !
