We rented this villa for a quiet getaway to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary. Gorgeous place, uniquely decorated. We had an extremely comfortable stay. I’ve rented Airbnb style villas and houses in the US and around the world but this place is by far the best. The house opens to a private beach where you can enjoy some serene walks across the shore enjoying the beautiful sunrise and sunset. The chef and house manager were extremely helpful. The Chef catered to a wide variety of cuisines, Indian for my parents and continental for my kids. He whipped up some very delicious salads using local produce, pastas, sandwiches and desserts.
The house manager arranged for some great massages from local masseuse. Couldn’t have asked for more. I fell in love with this place and will definitely return in the future.

Thanks Malini for the lovely review. I’m so glad you had an incredible stay! I believe the reason this villa stands out from all the others you have rented is, it’s not an Airbnb villa ;) Our villas on Ministry of Villas are fully staffed holiday rentals and we have some of the most stunning villas around the world. We can’t wait to look after you again and look forward to looking after you.

Everything about this villa was serene, comfortable and larger than life. The massive living room has comfy couches, magnificent rooms, a large courtyard looking out to the beach, and an outdoor dining space. The chef cooked up a storm with lobsters, crab, squid, pork and deliciously roasted vegetables for the vegans in our party.

The villa has a great vibe and is so comfortable. We regard Samudra House to be among the very finest villas, not only in Sri Lanka, but the entire world. We’ve visited thousands of villas and stayed in hundreds ourselves – Samudra House is on another level. No wonder guests continue to come back year after year!

The chef is incredible! We had garlic prawns, a mango salsa, grilled vegetables and yellow rice which was delicious. The chef is extremely talented and what an amazing setting to enjoy such a great meal. The villa is right on the beach; two doors up there is the Turtle Hatchery and well worth popping into. During the week (late afternoon) the team releases baby turtles into the water. The villa is ideal for 3 couples or small group of 6 guests. We had 2 x couples staying and had plenty of space to laze around. Plus the bedrooms are quite large, each with ensuites. Overall I love this villa and can’t wait to return in October.

We have just returned from a family holiday in Samudra. We honestly could not have asked for more. The house has the BEST location, is stunningly decorated, extremely comfortable, and has the most friendly and hard-working team running the house. Ruwan is an excellent chef and can organize all transport and bookings. We loved Sri Lanka and will definitely return.

Amazing stay on the beach
Our stay at Samudra Beach house was absolutely amazing! This gem of a beach house has such a beautiful setting, you are first greeted by a dream-like entrance walkway and ushered to the most inviting pool that sits right in front of the beautifully appointed rooms and the beach is at your doorstep. my little daughter like ourselves had a wonderful time, they were so kind as to allow us to have our puppy accompany us at the beach house too. A special mention to the helpers at Samudra as they were so very attentive and kind, the food was just amazing! thank you for a wonderful holiday

We stayed at Samudra for a couple of days during our honeymoon and it was an absolute highlight! The villa is impeccably decorated, and spacious, with a pool and also right on the beach, which we pretty much had to ourselves. The staff was lovely and the food was absolutely incredible – the best curry spread we had in Sri Lanka, which is saying something. Thank you so much for our wonderful stay!

Dream getaway in paradise
We had a dream stay at this villa.
The villa is sublime in every detail, everything is chosen with great taste, from the materials used to the choices of colors to the furniture.
The staff took care of us, and the chef prepared us delicious meals, despite our all different diets.
Run the manager of the villa, helped us a lot to organize us during the announcement of confinement during our stay. The cleanliness in the facilities is irreproachable, the water in the pool is clear as rocks water. The location of the villa in relation to the beach is ideal, there is a sea view in all rooms of the house, however, you are very safe and not exposed to the gaze of passersby on the beach. We saw turtles in the sea outside the house. During the night there is a security guard.
We highly recommend this little piece of paradise.

Weekend at Samudra Beach House
The place was amazing! It was so spacious and the open concept works really well. It’s an extremely tranquil place and superb if you want to relax and just chill with a small group of friends or family. The staff inclusive of Ruwan, Sanjeewa, and Chef were amazing. They were super obliging, catered to our every request, and made the stay a very pleasant memorable one!

Oh my. This is one of those very special villas that you find and never want to leave. The villa is stunning, with a beachfront location to die for. The staff are amazing and take special care of their guests with incredible attention to detail. The internet is super fast, the villa better than the photos and the beach vibe relaxing. As for the staff, there is a chef to look after you and purchases all ingredients fresh daily and specialises in fresh seafood. Amazing find in Sri Lanka and a must visit villa for a truely amazing stay.
