My Review of Ranna Beach House, Sri Lanka We were lucky enough to spend a few days at Ranna Beach House, and it truly felt like a slice of paradise. 🏡 Location & Accommodation The house is located directly on a secluded, palm-lined beach – quiet, peaceful, and simply stunning. The sound of the ocean, the sunsets, and the feeling of privacy made it a perfect retreat. The villa itself is tastefully decorated, very clean, and well-equipped. We especially loved the spacious terrace and the private pool overlooking the sea. 👨‍🍳 Staff & Service One of the true highlights was the warm and attentive house staff. The chef prepared delicious, fresh meals every day – tailored to our preferences ( child-friendly, mild spice). What truly stood out was how patiently and kindly they responded to all our wishes – nothing was ever too much. Whether it was adjusting meals, helping with laundry, or arranging excursions, they handled everything with care and calmness. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Perfect for Families We traveled with three children and felt completely at home. The pool was clean and safe, there was plenty of space to play and relax, and the beach was perfect for exploring and watching the fishermen. The kids especially loved the animals nearby and the quiet natural setting. 🌴 Surroundings & Activities From the house, we took some wonderful excursions – to a lagoon, a turtle beach, and even a safari. The driver recommended by the house was reliable, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the area. 💬 Our Conclusion Ranna Beach House is a perfect place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy true hospitality. If you’re looking for peace, beauty, and personalized care, this is the place. We would mabsolutely return – a strong recommendation!

I stayed with my friend in this fabulous property with direct access to the beach. It seemed like being in a private paradise. In fact, in addition to the super cozy room, with hot water, air conditioning and super clean, they had access to the outdoor area equipped with deck chairs and a hammock surrounded by greenery and peace. The owner, the boy and the lady who worked there were super nice and friendly, always available for our every need. Even their dog Rocco, stayed with us all night to keep us company while we enjoyed the sound of the waves. It was one of the best moments spent in Sri Lanka.

Best place in Sri Lanka! I'm usually too lazy to write reviews, but this one is truly worth it. We found ourselves in the middle of a jungle. Everything was meticulously maintained and clean. At the end of the trail was our room. The pool was beautiful, and the decor was tastefully done. The private beach is just a stone's throw away. I don't know what else to say. The staff was incredibly kind, and we're leaving with regret for not having stayed more nights. Highly recommended!

Cleanest huge room ever. The owner built 2 floors big rooms bungalow, so every accomodation doesn’t have direct neighbors and therefore is quite and private . The bed was king and comfortable, very big bathroom , hot water and high pressure. We slept without AC and appreciate the ceiling fan. Breakfast was great: every day something different is offered . The position is unbeatable, close to a beautiful Long Beach ( no swimming though). The owner went an extra mile to arrange a scooter , provide meeKiri and always asked if we needed anything . The surrounding area offers a large number of restaurants and cafes , very quiet st night and the lagoon is pure poetry . We are now in talalla and no comparison : we miss already SHINE.

I think this might be the best place I've stayed at in my travels, atleast in this price range. Staf are great, facilities excellent, garden pretty, location is out of the way but there is easy access by bike or tuktuk, pool is gorgeous and food is amazing (so no real need to go anywhere else). I really can't fault the place. Was sad to leave and would gladly come back. Highly recommended!

Our three days at fishermen’s lodge were super special, we felt so welcome and included in their family. The food in the restaurant was really amazing, the host is a great cook, we loved especially her rice and curry and the grilled fish. The traditional breakfast was also really good! The room was really simple, but still very clean and the host was always ready to help us in any way. You just walk a few steps to the beautiful beach which is nearly empty! In the morning the host took us fishing one time, which was the most special and fun experience! Overall we really recommend coming here for an authentic and local experience with extraordinary people! Thank you for everything! We might come back one time :)

Lovely studio set just back from the beach in a quiet and beautiful area. It’s was so wonderful to be in such a quiet and serene location with the waves the only sound. Nish is a fantastic host and the food was both delicious and plentiful. He very kindly organised a Sri Lankan cookery class with him and his Mum, also got to eat it afterwards, yum. The beach is stunning and had a few plays in the waves although a little rough to swim. Also had a yoga class a few minutes away which was hard but felt great after.

I will again choose this down-to-earth, authentic beach house in kalametiya over nearby resorts (with 2x, 3x times the price) for the very simple reason: you are the only guest staying here. There is only one room in this small patch of land. It makes you feel cozy and at home. There are helpers who would come in to clean or cook for you on request but mostly you will be left on your own. Perfect if you like privacy and want to stay longer here.

Lovely villa with spacious bedrooms and a nice living room and terrace facing the pool and the garden. Very convenient with kids. The beach is almost all yours and pretty but the waves are huge so young kids cannot swim by themselves. Location is remote which is good and bad (beautiful nature but a bit far away from places to visit - except Udawalawe Park and Mulkirigala temple which are easy to reach and both amazing to visit). Philip and Dushantha are very nice and were adorable with the kids.
