Everthing. The best owner and helpfull staff. Indika is very kind, Thanks to him I was able to fix a problem I had and I resolved it. It helps you with everything you need. I really recommend this accommodation, right in front of the beach. Perfect accommodation, everything very clean, spacious, quiet and clean. The restaurant next to the beach is very good and very well priced, with a lot of variety. I 100% recommend staying if you plan to go to Galle and surrounding areas.

Fantastic place,right on the beach. All the food we ordered was delicious. Guys are super polite and helpful. Some backpack places can be rather shabby,this one is not. Definately recomending this place especially for those who prefer touch with local people opposite to crowded hotel resorts.

A Slice of Paradise – The Ultimate Luxury Experience! I’m writing this review while still soaking in the magic of Oruva Beachside Villa—because I simply can’t wait to share how incredible this place is! From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in an experience of pure luxury and privacy. The villa itself is stunning, but what truly sets it apart is the unmatched level of service and exclusivity: ✨ Private Pool – A serene oasis just for us, perfect for cooling off under the Sri Lankan sun. 👨‍🍳 Private Chef (Anupa Udayantha) – Every meal has been a masterpiece, but the 4-course dinner absolutely exceeded our expectations—flawless flavors, beautiful presentation, and an unforgettable dining experience. 🤵 Private Guest Team (Gajendra, Sajith, Chaminda) – Anticipating our every need, ensuring that every moment here is effortless and indulgent. 🛡 Private Security – Offering total peace of mind so we can fully relax and enjoy. 🏝 Almost Private Beach – Soft sand, swaying palms, and breathtaking sunsets—all just steps away. Every detail here is thoughtfully curated to create a stay that feels beyond five stars. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to pause time. If you’re looking for a truly exclusive and unforgettable escape, Oruva Beachside Villa is it. Can’t recommend this place enough—our only regret is that we have to leave in two day! #OruvaBeachsideVilla #LuxuryRedefined #PrivateParadise

Train Boossa then Tuk Tuk to guest house worked well. Right on the beach with a lovely sea breeze and sunsets from local bar. Lovely family run property. Saman was friendly and extremely helpful and we did a tour with him which we enjoyed a lot.

The first place we stayed during our trip so it was a good place to recover from jet lag as we didn't plan to do much. The accommodation was right on the beach & was lovely to just step right out onto the sand. The south coast has some strong waves so just be careful when going for a dip! Nice backpacker hostel along the beach that served drinks with a sunset view. Had a few places to eat & fairly priced too.

Amazing little homestay located right on the beach.you can access the private beach, but it's not good to swim. The room was air conditioning and clean. The host welcomed and cared for us as their own relatives. The meals were amazing and super delicious. She prepared us crabs and a large fish, which made it fresh. The owner brought us to very nice spots in Galle city area, including a boat safari.. It was wonderful .. Thank-you Darshi for everything.. you made our day with lots of fun.
