All you want your tropical holiday to be and more! - Walking into Paradise @eraeliya_villas on Weligama Beach felt magical ✨️

This property is truly a boutique hotel with a big soul. With an array of suites and villas... Read More to choose from, it felt like we were walking into a Tropical Heaven. Every detail had been thoughtfully put together and you can instantly feel the love, comfort, and serenity this property had to offer.

Outstanding - We had a wonderful, relaxing stay, especially the service was very attentive, caring and super friendly, thanks a lot to Sandun! We will come back and recommend it... Read More to our friends and families in Europe.

Lovely stay - We loved our stay at Eraeliya, it was amazing to wake up right in front of the beach and enjoying a delicious breakfast served right on our private terrace. Our... Read More villa was beautiful and the main area with pool is great to relax during the day. The staff is very nice and kind.

Another Fabulous Stay - Just spent another wonderful 2 weeks at Eraeliya (main house this time). Magical as ever although sadly becoming less exclusive due to surrounding development. Also some localism has finally developed... Read More on the left hand surf break.
A special mention to the charming Rex, who once again made our stay so memorable. Also Sandun and Dean, together with Tharaka and Dulshan. Chef Kasun was new this year, and created superb meals. The gardens were beautiful as ever

Very stylish but small room for improvement  - Eraeliya Villas was our last stop of a 12 night trip to Sri Lanka. It was a wonderful place to spend a couple of days to unwind and relax after... Read More a busy trip. The hotel is beautifully designed and decorated with the perfect mix of traditional and contemporary features/architecture. Our suite was incredibly spacious and comfortable. The hotel plot is small so there isn't space to roam/explore but the gardens and pool area are well kept and there is direct beach access. The breakfasts are served on the lawn overlooking the sea which is a great spot and the food was pretty good. Dinner menu is reasonably limited but varied and the food was decent quality. There aren't any dining options within walking distance of the hotel. Our experience with hotel staff was mixed. The chaps serving dinner and lunch were great - very polite, cheery and clearly experienced. However I got the impression some of the front of house/hospitality staff were slightly inexperienced. When we checked into our suite we found we had no water pressure or hot water. We reported the issues straight away to the front desk. I was surprised not to be offered another location to be able to shower before dinner. We were told someone would be contacted to fix the issue but the afternoon/evening went by with no updates. Checking with the front desk again, there was no update so went to the next day with no hot water. The lack of communication was slightly disappointing. Of course technical issues happen but given the price point of the hotel , you do expect staff to keep you informed/find a solution. I also booked a massage which was carried out in a tent next to very loud building works on the nextdoor property. The loud drilling made it far from relaxing. i thought perhps i might receive a discount or the offer to reschedule but I didn't. The beauty and setting of the property make it a very stylish place to stay, but the price point does demand an all round top quality experience. There is a slight danger that it tips in favour of style over substance but with a few tweaks it could provide the best of both.

Unforgettable - I had an absolutely wonderful stay here! The hospitality provided was top-notch, making me feel like a valued guest from the moment I arrived. The attention to detail throughout the... Read More villa was remarkable, showcasing a level of care and thoughtfulness that truly enhanced the experience. And the views... oh my! Waking up to the stunning vistas of the beach every morning was a dream come true. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone seeking a luxurious and rejuvenating getaway

One of the greatest hotels in the south of Sri Lanka - The hotel was a dream! The whole area was a wonderful garden with different buildings, very nicely placed. The main building is a beautiful house, the unconventional hotel lobby was... Read More very inviting. We were given a large room with a veranda, right next to the pool. We liked it so much that we immediately extended our stay by 2 nights.
The staff were also extremely friendly and helpful, also in organising transport/taxis.
We have already recommended the hotel several times.

The first thing that struck me about Eraeliya villas & Gardens was the breathtaking natural beauty that surrounded us. The scenery was nothing short of spectacular, with lush greenery, crystal-clear... Read More waters, and picturesque landscapes at every turn. Whether you're a nature enthusiast or simply looking for a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this place has it all.
Accommodations at EraEliya were top-notch. We stayed in a Samaya Villa and it was not only clean and comfortable but also thoughtfully designed with all the modern amenities one could ask for. The views from our room were postcard-worthy, and we felt completely immersed in the beauty of the surroundings

Also I should mention Pramith- Butler who severed us gave us a great service, and was very active and kind hearted and very attentive to his work. He never fails to fulfill our needs on time without failing- Kudos to Pramith, keep up the great service.

Unique and one of a kind - My first 3 nights in srilanka was spent in Weligama, a unique experience at Eraeliya hotel. Specifically in Alaya Suite. This suite offered an unparalleled panoramic view of the Indian... Read More Ocean, coupled with a private balcony that seemed like an extension of the horizon itself. The room's design was aesthetically pleasing, illustrating a perfect blend of modern comfort and traditional charm. we had the luxury to enjoy our breakfast at our own specified time and location. The freshness of the food and the variety on offer was commendable. And a special mention has to be given to the front desk reception staff - Thareka and Dulshan, their professionalism and attention to detail significantly enhanced our stay. It is safe to say that Eraeliya hotel is not just a place to lodge, but a unique experience that leaves lasting memories.

Paradise - Lovely site , busy this time with a few children which the pool and garden are unsafe for . Lovely food friendly accommodating staff as always. Rooms spacious.Weather was appalling...
