“This boutique property, with its limited number of rooms, cultivates a tranquil atmosphere more akin to a private home than a hotel. I think its beachfront location on an untouched stretch of Balapitiya coastline is exceptional, blending Sri Lankan design with a touch of understated luxury. In my opinion, the hotel strikes a rare balance of high standards and authentic local charm, making it ideal for those seeking a peaceful and refined escape.”
