Inspired by the lush tropical environment, the Balinese architecture of the two-storied luxury villa allows the sunlight to stream through, lending it an atmosphere of airiness. R° Ambalangoda is a medley of comfort and solitude heightened by the wooden interiors and the surrounding Indian Ocean that invites you to fall back in a sense of absolute ease.

Thanks to all the professional staff at R Degrees that made our stay to such a memorable experience! This hotel understands what customer focus means. They were attentive to our needs and tailor-made our stay to what was important to us, to have a relaxing week for all our family members. Kids had their preferred western food, while we adults got a great opportunity to try out the great Sri Lankan kitchen, all from superfresh ingredients bought at nearby market or from neighbouring fishermen. Pool was wellkept, the long morning walks at the beach gave tranquility for the rest of the day (no harassing by salesmen or beach boys). Massage at the Spa excellent. Very spacious rooms facing the sea. Will definitely come back to this hotel if we come to Sri Lanka again.

This small boutique hotel feels so luxurious and is set on the most picturesque section of Ambalangoda beach. The staff are so attentive and friendly, and the food is very good. We loved watching the resident Kingfishers fly through the beautiful trees, swimming in the crystal - clean pool and exploring the rockpools right in front of the hotel. We escaped Colombo by train and were within Ambalangoda with two hours - such an easy weekend getaway. We are already planning our return trip! Thank you so much everyone at R Degrees for giving us the perfect, relaxing weekend.

We took a trip to Hikkaduwa and after 15 minutes we regret big time why leaving paradise to hell. Quickly back with a tuk-tuk.

We rested in December 2023, the hotel is small, 12 rooms, there is a swimming pool with warm water, it is not deep, great for children. The rooms are large, the beds are very comfortable, there is always hot water in the shower, water was replenished every day, all shower gels and balms, towels. The cleaning is excellent. Breakfast is monotonous, but you can always find something to eat. The food was delicious, we all really enjoyed it. The area is not large, but there is a gorgeous view of the ocean and the beach is simply beautiful. The staff is very friendly and polite. They are always fussing, cleaning, everything around is clean and well-groomed. When it rains, you can use umbrellas; they are provided for walking. There is a shop and several cafes near the hotel.

Beautifull Villa in Ambalangoda!!! Which is nicely allocated clean and view clear rooms. Friendly staffs. Specially Mr. Yohan is so attentive and flexible to make us comfortable. Restaurant staffs are very best and supportive. Kitchen needs to improve in some similar ways to the international style of foods. Best for SrLankan foods. Please enjoy a beach bath privately here. I will recommend to everyone!!! Cheers to the team.

I’ve just spent 5 nights at R Degrees and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very relaxing, great, large rooms, very attentive team that cannot do enough for you. Out of the main tourist area so great for chilling out, the beach is beautiful and quiet,the grounds are well maintained with gardens running down to the beach and a great pool area. All of the staff were fantastic, welcoming reception team and brilliant kitchen/waiting team that will make you anything you want - lobster, crab curry, prawn curry - hats off to them. Thank you for all your smiles.

I found the staff to be incredibly polite and helpful, ever ready to get us whatever we wanted. The food was flavourful and yummy though they do need to work on enhancing favours for their veggie food. The hotel has a gym, perfect to burn the calories from all their yummy food, the Banana fritters with chocolate ice cream is highly recommend.
The ambiance was warm and cozy, with excellent rooms with ample space. The back garden, facing the sea has hammocks and a few sofa's to relax on. I spent my nights under the stars Chatting with my friends while laying on the hammocks.
The three days spent at R degrees was a wonderful getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The pleasant staff and cozy ambiance truly made it feel welcoming and homely.
Though they have to work on some minor things the overall experience was refreshing and fantastic. I highly recommend R degrees for a weekend getaway with friends, family or your better half.

We loved R Degree last year and decided to go back. It was all worth it. Staff were the same and remembered us and gave us a warm welcome. It is an oasis in Ambalangoda, location right on the beach and a place to just chill and do absolutely nothing but to unwind!! Food remains good and the service is warm and friendly, creating a relaxing atmosphere. Facilities are good, and needs continuous improvement which they are aware of. Hope to return again!

We travelled as a family of 12 and stayed at this hotel over Christmas and new year. What a wonderful experience. All rooms are very spacious and exceptionally clean with each room having a sea view. Fantastic. Pool & garden area just beautiful. Beach front which was amazing with plenty of sunbeds and lovely towels for everyone one at any time of day. The best thing of all, was the staff. Just wow. They could not do enough for all of us to make our stay extra special. Whatever we asked for they did their best to make sure everything was in place. Even the chefs asked daily if there was anything we would like them to cook for us for our evening meal. The lady in the spa was just so lovely and the treatments were great. The whole experience was amazing. Thank you to each and everyone of you for making our family holiday so wonderful.

It was the perfect stay for our family (kids 3 and 6 yrs). There are just a few rooms so the place is never crowded and we often had the pool for ourselves. They were fantastic to our kids. We originally booked it for 5 days and extended because it was such a relaxing place - and we got an upgrade ;). The rooms are big. Dinner and breakfast were great. The pool is big and the beach is stunning. The kids loved it to jump in the waves - swimming was not really possible because of the waves. There are a couple of beach shacks close by or you can jump on a tuk tuk and go to the town. We highly recommend this place also for families!

Habarana is north of Colombo and R degrees ( Ambalangoda) is south of Colombo, hence using Google maps it says it is about 5 hours from Habarana to R degrees. Getting to the airport from there is not an issue .Hope this helps.
Hi, Merci,
Thank you for the question and the answer will be yes we do have sunbeds near the beach area and we can arrange it on the beach too as per your request.
Thank you and Best Regards,
R Degrees Management
