“Excellent overall”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 15, 2013 NEW

The view was spectacular and the food excellent! It sort of overlooks the beach and is very quiet and tranquil. We really enjoyed our stay there. Staff is very friendly too and quite helpful. It was secluded and romantic. Most rooms have private plunge pools. Excellent place for a relaxing holiday.

“relaxation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 9, 2013

we loved our stay, the food was better than expected, spa was a great addition too. go for a room with private pool, you wont regret it! perfect for 3-5 days stay, small trips to discover the river with a boat or a half day trip to Galle is a great idea too.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Saman Villas is laid out on a magnificent rocky headland dividing two long, surf-swept golden beaches. Close by is a sleepy fishing village but you would not know it, the only sounds are sea gulls' cries and the surf below. The resort is inspired by ancient Sri Lankan architecture. The restaurants, bars and villa suites are all angled to take full advantage of the sea shore vista either side of the headland. A terraced garden draws the eye to a dramatic infinity-edge pool. ... more   less
