The best room I stayed in during my time in Sri Lanka. Huge room, huge bed, palatial bathroom! They think of everything and the service is exceptional and the dogs are always there to keep you company. Western food is lovely. I would have liked a wider selection of vegetarian Sri Lankan cuisine but this is a very minor point.... More

Right from the start this was always going to be fab. No check in, just taken straight to our delightful, spacious bedroom, with everything there you needed. Free wifi and laptop, in case you needed to connect. A.C. and... a ceiling fan for those not liking A.C. enough space to slob. A quiet patio off our bedroom, where we hung... More

We chose to spend our last few days relaxing at Shangri-Lanka villas after our 10 days travelling and it was a truly lovely environment in which to just "chill out". The villas are large and airy with a decent sized balcony. The pool was a delight and all staff warm, welcoming and always willing to help out with any request.

We stayed for two nights and it was lovely. Karen and Rohan very capably and kindly handled all the details of our visit, including pick up from the airport. They were especially accommodating to our kids. Even a short power outage couldn't dampen our spirits - and the candlelight dinner was just as perfect as ever! Definitely order the Sri... More

So most of the reviews already say what a great place this is, and how its stuff dreams are made from and with such high expectations it is hard for this place to live up to such high standards - but it does....

The reports on Tripadvisor were so good that we felt that we had to try it, and we were certainly not disappointed. The villa and the gardens are beautiful and there is an... More
