But the quiet was a nice change of pace for 2 nights on our journey. ##### Sarah Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sonya 15 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fantastic hotel can't recommend enough you must stay here ##### Sonya Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin 25 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Really beautiful hotel with wonderful staff and service ##### Martin Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Khalid 9 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Amazing service from all the staff starting from the assistant a manager to our room butler etc. wonderful and secluded location perfect for a few days of relaxation. ##### Khalid Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rhian 28 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Exceptional stay. ##### Rhian Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 8 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Service is excellent.

The location is so peaceful, with the beach behind the hotel being so beautiful. The food prepared at the hotel was simply stunning! We had a daily set menu with choices, and the menu was great, food portions were generous and tasted amazing. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The only slight negative about this place is the wifi is very temperamental (not always a bad thing). It can feel a little sleepy through the day, but if you’re looking for undisturbed peacefulness, this place is perfect! ##### Alistair Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 6 Mar 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### It doesnt get any better than this To say this place is spectacular is an understatement. We booked for 2 days and extended for 2 more as we simply fell in love with it straight away. The property sits on a gorgeous quiet beach with blue water, rolling waves and lovely soft sand - you cannot believe that it feels like your own beach! Our room/s are decorated beautifully we no details spared - your privacy is guaranteed with only 8 rooms and discreetly partitioned if you want you own space. Meals are served on your own balcony whenever you need. The icing on the cake at Taru is the exceptional service - always generous, helpful and relaxed. We have been totally spoilt rotten for 4 days. Thank you so much to Mal, Rupa, Sanjeeva and the team for looking after us so well. We will be certain to return soon. If you are in the area and considering Taru - spoil yourself for a few days - you wont regret it! ##### Robert ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samamtha 25 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Truly heavenly. The location, the villa and the staff made our stay just perfect. The beach is pristine and set in a beautiful cove. It’s so peaceful with the perfect combination of sea, beach and mangroves. Really beautiful. We stayed in the Kurumba House and honestly I cannot compliment the staff enough. A particular call out to Donald who looked after us and made sure we wanted for nothing. Our privacy was respected and Donald shared his WhatsApp number so we could message when we wanted something. He made sure the villa was always perfect for us and when we wanted time on the beach that we were also looked after. All of the staff have a wonderful nature and were so welcoming. The main villa is beautiful and from what we could see all of the rooms were really lovely. They work on small number of rooms with lots of different living spaces so it feels boutique. Kurumba house was stunning. We loved the outdoor veranda and the private pool, which was a sublime temperature. Whilst we were at the beach for sunset, the house lights were put on and lots of candles made it a lovely welcome back. Meal times are always flexible around your time table so didn’t feel rushed to a schedule and we ate at the House with Donald looking after us and making sure whilst we ate, our bedroom got the turn down service. We were really sorry to leave. Thanks to all of the team. It was wonderful ##### Samamtha Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna-Sophia 2 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Eine wirklich wunderschöne Oase direkt am Strand. Es ist alles sehr liebevoll gestaltet und das Hotelpersonal war äußerst freundlich und zuvorkommend. Bisher unsere beste Erfahrung in ganz Sri Lanka, es hat wirklich viel Spaß gemacht und es wurde auf unsere individuellen Wünsche eingegangen. Das Essen wurde abends frisch zubereitet und ansonsten kann man sich jederzeit Getränke nehmen. Der Strand ist besonders schön, ebenfalls gibt es zwei Pools in der Anlage sowie Liegen die zum verweilen einladen. Wenn wir nochmal nach Sri Lanka reisen kommen wir definitiv wieder her, vielen Dank an das gesamte Team! ##### Anna-Sophia Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MARIA RITA 29 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Struttura molto gradevole in riva al mare con ristoranti nelle immediate vicinanze.

If I had to split hairs, I would say that the veranda rooms are on the small side and lack privacy. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 13 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic relaxing stay! We had a fantastic stay at this property, it was very intimate and had a boutique feel. The beach was very quiet with very little people. Staff was great all around. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 26 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Quiet boutique villa Beautiful villa with comfortable rooms and an amazing bathroom! Direct beach access at a swimmable beach and lovely pool too. Breakfasts were tasty, we didn’t eat other meals at the property. One thing to note is food and beverage pricing isn’t all inclusive , taxes and service fees are added on top. staff were super friendly and couldn’t help enough. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Le Grand Galle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galle-Hotels-Le-Grand-Galle-By-Asia-Leisure.h24010679.Hotel-Information) > > [98 Acres Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ella-Hotels-98-Acres-Resort-Spa.h15504051.Hotel-Information) > > [Dickwella Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Batigama-Hotels-Dickwella-Resort-And-Spa.h1583293.Hotel-Information) > > [Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tangalle-Hotels-Anantara-Peace-Haven-Tangalle-Resort.h11229814.Hotel-Information) > > [Vivanta Colombo, Airport Garden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seeduwa-Katunayake-Hotels-Vivanta-Colombo.h526350.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Kosgoda Turtle Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kosgoda-Hotels-Sheraton-Kosgoda-Turtle-Beach-Resort.h48743974.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea World Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mirissa-Hotels-Sea-World-Boutique-Hotel.h14737453.Hotel-Information) > > [Cinnamon Wild Yala](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palatupana-Hotels-Cinnamon-Wild-Yala.h4031774.Hotel-Information) > > [Ceylon Tea Trails - Relais and Chateaux - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwood-Hotels-Ceylon-Tea-Trails.h4045356.Hotel-Information) > > [Shinagawa Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Balapitiya-Hotels-Shinagawa-Beach.h7672790.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Sri Lanka - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ahungalla-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Sri-Lanka-All-Inclusive.h14754284.Hotel-Information) > > [Pandanus Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Induruwa-Hotels-Pandanus-Beach-Resort-Spa.h11289546.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sandhya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ahangama-Hotels-The-Sandhya.h18099343.Hotel-Information) > > [Weligama Bay Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weligama-Hotels-Weligama-Bay-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h19413442.Hotel-Information) > > [Thaproban Pavilion Waves Unawatuna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Unawatuna-Hotels-Thaproban-Pavilion-Waves-Unawatuna.h20583896.Hotel-Information) > > [Cape Weligama - Relais and Chateaux](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weligama-Hotels-Cape-Weligama-Relais-And-Chateaux.h11470023.Hotel-Information) > > [Cinnamon Bentota Beach – Signature Selection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bentota-Hotels-Cinnamon-Bentota-Beach.h36466861.Hotel-Information) > > [Kahanda Kanda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Angulugaha-Hotels-Kahanda-Kanda.h11263998.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Hambantota](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hambantota-Hotels-Shangri-La-Hambantota.h15083331.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Bentota Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bentota-Hotels-Taj-Bentota-Resort-Spa.h581365.Hotel-Information) > > [Jetwing Yala](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palatupana-Hotels-Jetwing-Yala.h7686053.Hotel-Information) > > [Cinnamon Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Habarana-Hotels-Cinnamon-Lodge.h1854476.Hotel-Information) > > [Chaarya Resort & Spa by Chandrika](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thissamaharama-Hotels-Chaarya-Resort-Spa-By-Chandrika.h7855822.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fortress Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Koggala-Hotels-The-Fortress-Resort-Spa.h7821441.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritance Ahungalla](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ahungalla-Hotels-Heritance-Ahungalla.h1526822.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sun House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galle-Hotels-The-Sun-House.h15677263.Hotel-Information) > > [W15 Weligama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weligama-Hotels-W15.h11560777.Hotel-Information) > > [Talalla Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Talalla-Hotels-Talalla-Retreat.h7088443.Hotel-Information) > > [Cinnamon Bey Beruwala](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Beruwala-Hotels-Cinnamon-Bey-Beruwala.h8256226.Hotel-Information) > > [Citrus Hikkaduwa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hikkaduwa-Hotels-Citrus-Hikkaduwa.h2222408.Hotel-Information)
