    Tangalle was the quieter part of our holiday, and Villa Mawella was the retreat we needed from city noises and the entire shebang. The staff was very friendly, and were available at all hours of the day and night. We loved hanging in the pool, relaxing on the beach located a few steps from our villa and enjoying candle-lit dinners by the manicured courtyard. We also took the villa’s tuk-tuk to Hiriketiya, located 20 minutes away. Absolutely enjoyed our time here.

    What an incredible hidden gem! From the beautiful gardens and beachfront location to the friendly team who are on hand to look after you during your stay. It’s the perfect based for a week of relaxation for a huge group.

    We had an absolutely delightful stay at Villa Mawella. The garden is so tranquil, my favourite activity was to float in the pool and watch the squirrels and peacocks roam the grounds. We also went to Hiriketiya Beach by rickshaw / tuk tuk and had a great afternoon at La Playa – a brand new beach club overlooking the surf break. Overall, very relaxing and calming.

    The property is massive, right on the beach in a very quiet location down the south of Sri Lanka. It’s only a 15 minute tuk tuk ride to a vibrant beach with a handful of cafes. However, right next door to the villa grounds there is also a restaurant called Tangalle Social which offers loads of great meal options plus they have a pool table if you are waiting to have some fun. Back at the villa, we listened to the sound of birds all day. The tropical gardens are lovely and the team of professional staff have been wonderful.

    Absolutely gorgeous…..
    The best place we stayed in Sri Lanka…….unfortunately only for 1 night !! Right on the beachfront, with a choice of 2 pools. Staff were so attentive without being intrusive. Grounds and rooms were immaculate. Food was outstanding…….the calamari was the best we (5 of us) had ever eaten.

    A blissful stay.
    We had the most amazing time being guests at this boutique hotel. Myself and my wife arrived here on our honeymoon and were upgraded to the master suite.
    We could not have dreamed of a better place to celebrate the start of our married life.
    The property itself is beautiful as well is the beach that the hotel runs onto.

    The food was of a very high standard and we both enjoyed our cooking lesson with the two very talented chefs.
    The level of service we received is second to none. We were greeted by the manager, Deon, who instantly made us feel at home as we were shown around, the professionalism and friendliness was carried on throughout our stay here.
    the team is a credit to Villa as well as a credit to Sri Lanka itself as they gave us the perfect start to our honeymoon and our first experience of this beautiful country.

    Oasis of calm! Blissful relaxation off the beaten path.
    Mawella Beach was a beautiful idyll amidst the hustle and bustle of Sri Lanka’s South Coast. A tastefully designed hotel with amazing rooms and a lovely garden, just a short walk from a virtually deserted beach. The highlight though was the staff who were absolutely amazing and epitomized the best and friendliest hospitality that Sri Lanka has to offer. Genuinely went the extra mile to ensure we had everything that we needed. A lovely place to stay, with great food and an amazing setting. Highly recommend it and wouldn’t hesitate to go back when we next return to Sri Lanka.

    Beachy tropical charm
    Like nearly all the other properties under their wing, Mawella respects nature, celebrates privacy, and nurtures luxury in equal measure. Situated along the southern coast of the island and the blue-green shades of Mawella Bay, this charming boutique hotel has all the makings of an ideal holiday escape. The Resident Manager, Heshan was friendly and took me on a mini tour of the entire property. All the rooms within the Villa chain emanate a contemporary yet luxurious vibe. Looming artistic canvas in both colorful and bright, as well as rustic grey tones, fills the walls and spaces, along with unique decorative pieces and furnishings. Every item seems to have a purpose and complements one another. They add not just a touch of comfort but also an air of modern…

    A delightful, calm, delicious experience!
    We stayed in the pool house with two children for four nights in January. It was absolutely perfect, made all the better by the lovely staff, wonderful windswept working beach, clean and cool pool, and amazing food. This is a special place, and I would recommend for anyone wanting to slow down, be pampered and relaxed (as well as eat well). We will forever remember our time at Mawella Villa.

    Possibly the best food on the south coast!
    We arrived to a warm welcome, dinner already prepared for us and a sumptuous room.

    The staff were fantastic. Very capable and friendly.

    Special mention for Ravindra who helped organise my meal (I have a lot of food intolerances) and the lady who served our evening meal who was lovely.

    We will be back to stay longer next trip

    BEST BEACH HOLIDAY
    Travelled with a group of friends and had the most amazing holiday. As you enter you feel a sense of immediate relaxation and wellness. The overall ambience couldn’t be better. The perfectly crafted menus provided us with unparalleled cuisine. The service was impeccable and unobtrusive. One often refers to pristine beaches but never really finds one ..this one was undoubtedly pristine. We enjoyed our morning and evening walks and the hours spent in the sea. Dusk was spent relaxing on deck chairs sipping a cocktail and watching the stars come out on cloudless nights. Could not have asked for more. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so special.

    You’ll arrive at the end of the road to a small wooden green door. On entering this hotel you’re greeted with a very homely feeling from this small intimate place. Located on the beach which is quiet and beautiful. Our room, number 5, allowed for private dining with a view of the sea. Food was amazing and large portions. Highly recommend the Tuna starter. We had this as a main course with chips.
