9.8/10 Exceptional! (92 reviews)
We chose Riff Hikkaduwa as the final stop of our two-week family journey around Sri Lanka, and it was the perfect place to relax, unwind, and finish an incredible trip. From the moment we arrived, we knew we were somewhere special. The hotel’s design and beachfront location are absolutely stunning. Walking into the lobby, you are immediately greeted by a beautiful modern wooden aesthetic, before your eyes are drawn through to the breathtaking view of the infinity pool overlooking the beach and turquoise ocean beyond. It truly creates that instant feeling of luxury and tranquillity. Our deluxe room was exceptional. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the rainfall shower was amazing, and the thoughtful touches of robes and slippers added to the experience. However, the highlight was opening the automatic blinds each morning to reveal the spectacular ocean view — endless blue water, golden sand, and the sound of the waves right outside. The facilities and food throughout the hotel were outstanding. The rooftop Japanese restaurant served beautifully presented, fresh and flavourful dishes, while the main restaurant offered an excellent breakfast and daily menu with every meal being high quality and delicious. What truly made our stay memorable was the staff. Every single person we interacted with — from the front desk team to the restaurant staff and especially our wonderful pool lifeguard — provided genuin

Amazing views of fort. Visited there 3 years ago, and it was immaculate then; but could use some maintenance in rooms , didn’t feel the same. Average dinner , but great breakfast. On a brighter note Staff was very attentive as always.

"The apartment was lovely and can not fault it. What gives the place a bad rating is the first night we were there there was a geto blaster blaring out music and people still in the pool at 10pm, when signs in the lift so no pool use after 8pm. The music was still going on at 3am and we could hear ..."

"We loved every minute of our stay. The rooms are small but have everything you need to be comfortable and you are walking distance to the beach. The breakfast is lovely and so is the service and the AC in the room. We made friends on the patio and were comfortable throughout."
