This family-run compound, set off the main road and nestled in the forest, is an absolute delight. The staff, including all family members, are friendly, warm, and happy to help with whatever you need. The food is fantastic; it is all homecooked, and they will facilitate whatever you want. We are both vegetarian and the food that was provided was the best we had eaten in Sri Lanka. The nearby beach, accessible by free tuk-tuk ride, is simply the most magnificent, untrammelled beach I have ever seen. Spotless, golden sands, warm blue water and stunning scenery. The rooms are enormous with comfortable beds, clean (outdoor!) bathroom and a lovely porch. The entire resort was spotless. We spent 11 days in Sri Lanka in total, across a range of different style accommodations, 5* to 2* hotels and this was easily the best place we stayed.

This was a perfect calming experience. The cottage was comfortable and super clean. And the most valuable was the kindness and hospitability of the family, who host us. All the members of the family were opened to all our questions and were explaining about all plants, that are growing in their lovely garden.The garden is full of Ayurvedic plants and the housekeeper cooked us a delicious dinner using Ayurvedic plants and local ingridients.They offered us free transportation to turtle centre near by and explained about best local tours. We appreciate the whole experience and we were sorry we did not plan another day at this hospitable place.

Everything was so great! A very picturesque view right by the ocean. The owners of the villa were super friendly and helpful, helped us with everything during our stay. The villa is very clean and cozy, we felt like home there, very relaxing. The place itself is very quiet too, you can hear only the ocean waves. We really liked it and hope to be back one day! Strongly recommend staying here.

I had a wonderful stay at Goalie Beachfront Resort. It's a beautiful luxury resort with stunning views in every direction. What truly amazed me was how seamlessly it blends with its surroundings—offering breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean from the private front balcony, and serene views of the wetlands from the back balcony. One of my favorite moments was enjoying the delicious breakfast from the in-house restaurant while watching the sunrise over the wetlands. The food was absolutely delicious. The resort also features a tropical garden with coconut trees private swimming pool with a jacuzzi, where I spent some relaxing time sunbathing and unwinding. The staff were incredibly friendly and always available whenever I needed assistance. The resort is located near to Hikkaduwa town. There are many things to do around this area like snorkelling, turtle farm, river safari etc. Since it’s close to the main road, getting around is easy—whether by public transport or tuk-tuk. The staff even arranged our airport transfer at a very reasonable price. You can rent a scooter from here as well. I will definitely be coming back to this amazing place next year!

Excellent view! The sunsets were out of this world. Fairly new room, the beach was just amazing (if you go further, you will find mostly locals there which is nice and rare down the coast). The restaurant may be slow but the guys working there are great, I recommend trying crab-lobster soup.

How can I even start… all the members of this family are literal angels. They’ll take care of you, show you around, make sure you’re never hungry, and give you the best possible experience. I was so lucky to meet them at the beginning of my trip; I ended up staying way longer than planned and even spent my birthday with them and we organised a trip together some time later. At this point, they’ve become family to me. Their property is located in a beautiful and tranquil area; if you like being close to nature and want an authentic Sri Lankan experience, this is the place. The rooms are well-kept and tidy, spacious, and cosy. There’s an adorable dog and lots of visiting animals, even parrots, who feed near the property’s gate every morning. Shamaylie, with the help of her daughters, cooks home made, healthy and very tasty meals, made from the local ingredients. The family will make sure that they offer you the food you like. I recommend to visit the Guesthouse regardless if you’re travelling solo or in a couple. You will always be treated with love, warmth, and generosity. Wik xx

Beautiful property right by the beach. Mendis and Jayantha (sorry if I got the spelling wrong), were very hospitable and we hung out and watched some sports together in the evening. The food was excellent, it was really peaceful and a nice place to end my Sri Lanka travels.
