“A LITTLE BIT OF PARADISE!”
+Beautifully positioned Oceanside and felt like a big family home. Breakfast was first class.
−The name Satin Doll - sounded somewhat dubious! Staff couldn’t tell us why it’s called that!

+Satin Doll truly feels like a little piece of paradise on earth. Everything about our stay was exceptional , the interior design, the beautifully maintained grounds, the location, the housekeeping, and every single member of the staff. The nearby beaches are also wonderful, and I highly recommend taking the stairs down from the property to the shore and walking to Mieripe Beach. I have to give special thanks to our manager, Chana, who deserves a separate mention. He made our stay absolutely magical. From the first moment to the last, he was incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful, and he handled every request with genuine care and professionalism. The food also deserves its own praise. Every single dish we tried was outstanding. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner , everything was consistently delicious. The prawns were unforgettable, the best French toast I have ever had, and honestly the best Bolognese I have ever tasted , and I have had Bolognese in many places. The chefs at Satin Doll are truly gifted. The food was so good that we completely lost interest in eating anywhere outside the hotel. We had a wonderful stay and would return without hesitation.
−None at all. Its a GEM!!!

“Our stay at Satin Doll was pure magic , peaceful, indulgent, and made unforgettable by the incredible staff”
+Satin Doll, Unawatuna - Absolute Perfection Satin Doll is the most tranquil and beautifully maintained property we have ever stayed in. Set right on the water, with only five bedrooms, it offers a rare sense of privacy and calm. You can rent the entire villa with friends or family, or simply enjoy the peace and quiet on your own , either way, it feels incredibly special. The food is absolutely outstanding. We highly recommend the Sri Lankan breakfasts and the curries. The portions are wonderfully generous , we found ourselves ordering far too much each time, but had no regrets. You can easily share, or indulge completely like we did. Either way, you will be gleefully satisfied. And the staff… the staff truly make this place unforgettable. They are the warmest, kindest, most attentive people we have ever met. Nothing is too much trouble, and they made us feel so genuinely welcome and cared for throughout our stay. We have travelled extensively, and Satin Doll takes the cake as our favourite place we have ever stayed. It is very, very special. Do yourself a favour , stay here. You will not want to leave.
−Nothing it’s perfect.

“Luxurious beach side tranquility with amazing staff and elevated decor that compliments the natural beauty of the surrou”
+Absolutely everything. We stayed here for a week of sunshine chills after a non-stop first week travelling around SL. The location is idyllic, a few steps to beach, across a beautiful garden with amazing flora and fauna. We ate breakfast every morning in the incredible pagoda overlooking the beach, eating incredible food (possibly best fruit platter I’ll ever have in my life) and watching the waves and the stilt fishermen. The people who worked there were all angels, so friendly, so helpful, with lovely energies. The rooms were unreal; with an attention to detail that is second to none. The darling little pool is lovely to cool off in the sun, and if we ever wanted a bigger swim, we were allowed to use the sister hotel Elysium’s pool- just a 20m walk along the beach. We spent our time lazing in the hotel gardens or visiting the surrounding beaches - just 30ish mins away from Mirissa and Weligama, and less than 10 to Unawatuna. We would highly recommend this place to anyone, especially those who enjoy places that are close enough to the hustle and bustle, but far enough away to enjoy peace and tranquility when you want it. We will without a doubt be back one day. Thanks so much to t

“Excellent clean, comfy and welcoming boutique hotel”
+Such a lovely boutique hotel (they only have 5 rooms) We were the only guests, so we had a great service from the staff. The breakfast was the best we have had in Sri lanka during our 3 week stay. Very varied and delicious. We had dinner at the hotel a few nights and all food was excellent. The bed was super comfy as were the pillows. Access directly onto the beach which was clean. A short walk along the beach to a couple of beach bars. Lovely hotel garden with tree shade if required, with sunbeds and towels.
−swimming pool is a little on the small side, more a plunge pool really. Big step down into the pool, which was fine for us, but might cause a problem for anyone with mobiity problems.
