“Exceptional”
+Our stay at Malabar Hotel was absolutely wonderful! From the peaceful atmosphere to the exceptional food and thoughtful service, everything made our experience truly memorable. One of the little details we really appreciated was the complimentary car covers, which gave us peace of mind knowing our cars were protected from potential damage. The hotel itself is incredibly peaceful, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The food deserves a special mention because it was absolutely amazing, especially the vegetarian options! There was so much to try that we actually had to stay for two nights just to work our way through the menu. Every meal was a delight, and the variety and quality of the vegetarian dishes were truly impressive. Breakfast was another highlight. I would highly recommend trying the floating breakfast for a special experience, and the banana bread is genuinely the best I have ever had! It is an absolute must-try. We were also impressed by the clear communication among the staff and the smooth handovers between team members. Everyone seemed well-informed and coordinated, which made the entire stay feel seamless and welcoming. Overall, Malabar Hotel is a wonder

“Brilliant with exceptional staff.”
+We loved everything about our stay at Malabar Hill but the staff were the standout. Each person we encountered during our stay was genuine, kind and so helpful. On our checkout day the manager gave recommendations for where we should have dinner and even called and booked a table for us (the recommendation was brilliant). The pool area is beautiful and the food was exceptional (breakfast, lunch and dinner!). We couldn’t recommend Malabar Hill more highly. We also really enjoyed the complimentary Arrack based special cocktail that changed each evening.

“Fabulous hotel in a beautiful, lush hillside setting. A perfect place to relax!”
+The staff were so welcoming and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The hotel manager and the restaurant manager both made points of checking in with us during our stay to make sure we were happy which was a very nice touch. The rooms were beautifully designed and spotlessly clean. The food was fantastic and the spa treatments were excellent.
−I can’t think of a single thing that I didn’t like.

“An incredibly special place with an amazing team of staff.”
+The bar staff, restaurant staff and housekeeping staff were absolutely incredible. They went beyond the call of duty to make our stay so special. The food is some of the best my partner and I have eaten at any hotel worldwide ever - truly, truly special. The location is incredible; close to the beach but gives the feel of being tucked away in your own jungle paradise.
−While the majority of staff were amazing, the staff at the front desk were not very accommodating and their communication wasn’t great. The tours offered are exorbitantly expensive compared to the price if you were to book things yourself.

“The short escape we wish lasted longer.”
+A Truly Exceptional Stay - We Can’t Wait to Return! Malabar Hill Weligama completely exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the warmest, kindest, and most professional team. Every staff member greeted us with genuine smiles and made us feel incredibly cared for throughout our stay. The food was absolutely superb. What amazed us most was that the team happily prepared the special breakfast requests I asked for every single morning,something I never expected and truly appreciated. Their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile made our stay even more memorable. The property itself is a sanctuary. Surrounded by nature, with stunning views, a peaceful atmosphere, and incredibly relaxing massages, it was exactly the reset we needed. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, reconnect, and recharge, this is it. We also loved the complimentary shuttle service to their beachfront property, Shaq in Mirissa, which was such a wonderful added touch. A very special thank you to Thusita, Dasun, Anggi, and the entire team for making our stay so special. Your hospitality, kindness, and dedication are what make this place truly excepti
