Stunningly beautiful location, lousy service given the high price. - Stunningly beautiful. The hotel is located in front of the sea in a colonial style villa with a garden and old world furnishings and beautiful artwork. Our suite... Read More was spacious and had an enormous terrace overlooking the pool and the sea where we had breakfast each morning. Unfortunately, the level of the service was not at the standard one would expect from such a facility. There was hardly ever someone at reception. Usually the receptionist could be seen roaming the garden on her cell phone. One always had to ask for beach towel since the bin labeled “clean beach towels” was always empty. Surprisingly there was no turndown service in the evening which meant we had to lower 5 or 6 blinds on the doors to the terrace. This was complicated by the fact that some of the blinds were in disrepair. The price for a massage was $50 on the villa website but $63 in the in-room brochure and an espresso cost $12. We asked if we could keep our room until 1PM instead of 12 noon and were told that the latest was 12:30. We left the room at 12:30 and sat in the lobby waiting for the receptionist to appear 20 minutes later and send someone to get our bags. Clearly there was no urgency to make up the room.

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.flying_girl74

A gem of a boutique hotel we found in Weligama - Eraeliya is a very fine beachfront boutique hotel. well maintained and the property looks stunning. We loved all 3 meals we had during our stay with them from Dinner to... Read More the next day's lunch it was lovely. They have a really nice menu with a good number of options to choose from. The staff was really friendly and they were so presentable and always wore a smile on their face. I had a lovely birthday with them and they made it special. Thanks to the team and keep up the good work.

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.Varunika S

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 everRoam828004

A beautiful slice of paradise, wonderful all around, marvellous, and fully deserving serving its 5* rating! - Eraeliya is fully deserving its 5* rating. The rooms, suites and villas are tastefully and uniquely decorated with much love and attention to detail. The beautiful grounds and gardens are... Read More maintained immaculately. The undisturbed oceanfront location affords stunning views over the ocean with unforgettable sunsets. Even though jungle beach is a favourite launching point for surfers, the sandy cove is also one of the few Sri Lanka beaches for safe swimming. The high level of service and quality of food are additional highlights. Breakfast is huge and stunning, and the catch of the day is the freshest and most tastefully prepared fish you will find anywhere. The owner Njuri, and the entire staff are fully dedicated to pamper their guests, and ensure their wellbeing. They provide service at its best! The relatively small size of the estate with only 9 rooms and villas affords a much more private and intimate atmosphere. Once you arrive, you have no desire to go outside again. Truly, a small slice of paradise!

We spent two wonderful weeks over this 2023 Christmas holidays and the 2024 new year. Exceptional experience. Gorgeous villas, lovely grounds, great reef break out front for surfing and... Read More a fantastic pool. Can't say enough positive things. Excellent service. All staff were too notch and Sandun was a standout - very elegant man and extremely gracious. He is very customer-oriented and charismatic - hopefully he will be the manager one day! The food was also amazing - the chef is a real star too, very talented with Western and local dishes alike. Highly recommended!

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.
From breath taking views from the terrace to amazing bedrooms to wrap around balconies to swims in the stunning infinity pool to baths in one of a kind stone bathtubs to beautifully landscaped gardens to amazingly delicious food and drinks. This place is Perfection. It truly is the Jewel of the Bay! Don't think about it, go right ahead and book in a few days here, you won't regret it!Gayanimara
