    The best boutique concept in Sri Lanka 💕
    My family and I are traveling often ever were in Sri Lanka because the satisfaction in it is priceless. During our every tour, we also look closely at the hotels where rooms are super clean or not.
    We went to a hotel in the south, it’s called
    Villa Muse. But as soon as we entered the hotel, we immediately felt that the Hotel system was a few feet away from the other usual hotels.
    A hotel is always a hotel and it’s hard to feel at home. But Muse Villa instantly made us feel at home.
    The service offered by the Taru villa and the subtleties of the place take us back to the wonderful details of the place.
    This hotel system is without a doubt the number one in the world.
    To Anyone in any country in the world, I can proudly, responsibly recommending
    Taru villa in Sri Lanka is the number one hotel / Villa destination with pride.

    My personal marks are as follows :
    For atmosphere 💯
    For welcoming 💯
    Guidance about the place and knowledge 💯
    Room cleanliness 💯
    Foods quality, looks, and presentation 💯
    service From staff and their knowledge 💯
    Fine details, fine details, and fine details 200%

    Blissfully serene beach holiday amidst fascinating art and artifacts
    THE MUSE is a work of love. At first their warm hospitality wins you and then the beautiful ambiance completely takes over your senses! The beautifully appointed cottages, landscaped garden with exotic sculptures mingling with the sound of the waves and the occasional train that passes by sets your mood for a completely relaxing dream holiday.

    The place is dotted with paintings, sculptures in metal, stone and wood, made by well known Sri Lankan artists.

    I recommend the suite on the first floor with two private sea facing balconies. You even get your own gigantic stone lion welcoming you as you climb the short stairway up to your room.

    The food, both international and local cuisine, was delicious. An ideal place to stay with family, and friends or even on your solo visit to Sri Lanka

    Lovely serene hotel on the beach
    A really lovely hotel, in a great location for the beach. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed. The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly and offer great service. The food and drink on offer in the hotel is really lovely, with a brilliant cocktail menu! But the hotel is also well located if you fancy a wander out to explore other places nearby.

    Great Way to end our Holiday
    We had our last 3 days here before flying back to Australia and they were fabulous. This small boutique hotel had the best staff, location near the beach and incredible local food. We didn’t want to leave!
    Rooms were spacious and sparking clean. Wifi was strong. The pool was perfect.
    We dined at the restaurant attached for all our meals….it was so good, and that includes breakfast and dinner. We just loved the Sri Lankan curry feast. In fact, we had to share one between two as there was so much food.
    The staff were exceptional….all of them, and went out of their way to make sure you had a wonderful stay.
    Make this your base in beautiful Bentota.
    ps it was just over an hour and a half to the airport.

    Amazing food & beautiful rooms
    The rooms were all beautifully done, I loved the interior design and the art was incredible throughout the property. The staff was very helpful and attentive. Some of the best staff service in Sri Lanka. The most incredible part of our stay was the food, I cannot say enough about the fresh ingredients, taste, presentation, and did I mention the taste! We had everything from Sri Lankan to Western cuisine & the cocktails YUM! We will be back for more food and another relaxing experience

    A lovely hideaway
    We spent wonderful 3 nights in The muse, enjoying the peace and tranquility of this small paradise. It felt very private and like homestay with great authentic design and incredible ambiance. You felt very welcomed and the staff was extremely polite, helpful, and caring. I’m vegan and there wasn’t a vegan menu in the restaurant but the chef was so kind that he cooked the meal special for me and I felt very pleased and grateful. The incredible endless sandy beach was very close and not crowded. What a wonderful walk you can do along the beach early In the morning or watch beautiful sunsets in the evening. The staff on the beach was the same careful and helpful, bringing you a glass of cool water with ice straight you’ve been noticed coming out of the water. The sea was pretty rough but as I love swimming and usually don’t care much about waves (that’s very insensible of me, though) but the staff always was watching me till I came out of the water. Thank Kharu, who cared for the beach and me and always was very polite and helpful. It was a bit sad to leave this cozy little hotel and I’d love to come back there one day again. Thanks, everyone for our unforgettable stay!

    The Muse: A must
    I rarely write on Trip Advisor, but this hotel deserves special mention.
    From the moment we entered this bit of paradise, we felt very well looked after and relaxed as the staff were fantastic and will tend to every need.

    Whilst the photos are accurate, you have to go there to experience the absolute tranquility of this hotel. It feels unique and is well looked after. It’s also only a 2-minute walk to the stunning and v quiet Bentota beach

    Food – very high fresh quality with superb breakfasts. Although menus could be a little more varied for the evening meals

    The whole place was spotless and we hardly saw any mosquitos.

    If you’re looking for clubs and rock and roll, this isn’t for you, but if you want to escape and wind down this hotel is perfect. 4 days was not enough! Thank you to the wonderful team there for making our trip so memorable.
