I loved it here. Basic room with a comfy bed and mosquito net, what else do you need. The owner is very nice and helpful. Very lovely communal area with beach view with outdoor furnitures. If you want to have exquisite, delicious local food Darshi will prepare them to you at a reasonable price.

Indika was a great host. Very accommodating and helpful with suggestions and timing of ventures especially with it being off season. We had the family room which felt like our own house. Two lofts and a main area and lots of bed space for the family. We wished we stayed longer here. The view and the sound of the waves made for the most peaceful sleep.

What a wonderful place to stay . The house is simple and rustic. It has everything you need and nothing that you don’t ! The beach was beautiful, almost like a private beach and you fall asleep to sound of the waves crashing on the sand. There are a few beach bar /restaurants on the beach if you fancy a change, and good local shops outside on the road. Shehan is the perfect host,nothing is too much trouble , his mums cooking is second to none and the best meals we’ve had in Sri Lanka. Absolutely 5 stars for everything .

My daughter and I stay at this villa was exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by General Manager Gajendra Jayasinghe and his outstanding team, who provided some of the best hospitality we have experienced. Their attention to detail, warmth, and professionalism made our stay truly special. The villa itself is stunning, offering a perfect blend of luxury and serenity. The private spa pool was an absolute highlight—secluded, beautifully designed, and perfect for unwinding while enjoying the breathtaking ocean views. Whether it was a peaceful morning dip or a relaxing evening soak, this feature elevated our experience to another level of tranquility. A true standout of our stay was the exceptional food, prepared by the villa’s phenomenal chef. Every dish was showcased the freshest ingredients and exquisite flavors. From perfectly cooked seafood to authentic Sri Lankan delicacies, each meal was crafted with passion and skill. Dining here felt like a five-star culinary experience, made even better by the warm and attentive service from the staff. Beyond the luxurious surroundings and outstanding cuisine, what truly sets Oruva Beachside Villa apart is the personalized service. Gajendra and his team went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. Their hospitality made us feel like VIP guests while still maintaining a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. If you’re looking for a luxurious, peaceful, and unforgettable beachside retreat, Oruva Beachside Villa is the perfect choice. The combination of world-class service, a private spa pool, exceptional cuisine, and stunning surroundings makes it a destination worth returning to. A heartfelt thank you to Gajendra, the brilliant chef, and the entire team for making our stay so extraordinary. We cannot wait to come back! 🌊✨

    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.

    The location is right on the beach. You can see dolphins swimming early in the morning (around 7: am). Beds are comfortable and you can hear the waves of the Ocean from your Cabana.
