“Living life by the Beach”
+The villa was exactly what we needed on our last few days in Sri Lanka!m. The villa is run by a wonderful couple that has been in the hospital business for many years and it shows. It’s right in front of the beach which is pretty empty and clean. On the day we checked into our room the owner surprised us with a bday cake after our dinner which shows the level of kindness and hospitality they have towards their guests. The villa is clean, has good facilities, is in front of the beach, 24hr security, surfing classes, good breakfast, small boutique shop, a hammock and most importantly an excellent staff that were always helpful and kind. The location is a bit out from the busy city life but if you’re looking for an excellent beach (great for surfing) and some quiet time then this villa is a perfect choice. You can always take a 15min toktok to the closest city. The room layout is also really nice and practical with an open shower concept and comfortable bed. We loved our stay and will definitely come back again.
−Honestly nothing to really say about the property as it was very well built and beautiful. The lunch and dinner options were a bit overpriced but there are lots of food options next to the villa on the beach. Overall nothing that we disliked.

+Staying at Vanina Villas felt like stepping into a private paradise. The property is dreamy, featuring a quiet swimming pool and a stunning beach right at your doorstep. Our villa was incredibly comfortable, and the food at the restaurant was consistently excellent. A huge thank you to Myriam and Hervé for their warm hospitality and for making us feel like part of the family. We will definitely be back!

“Nice stay”
+Very nicely designed hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms and a very generous Western-style breakfast. Its main highlight, in my opinion, is the location. It’s strategically positioned between major tourist spots, yet set directly on a very quiet beach, mostly frequented by Vanina’s guests, guests from the nearby hotel (also rather small) and local surfers. It feels much more authentic and pleasant than more famous places like Mirissa or Hiriketiya (each 30min drive away). The beach here is also great for both surfing and swimming.
−In my opinion, however, the value for money was not great. This was by far the most expensive hotel of our two-week -and six-hotel- trip in Sri Lanka, and yet the only one where we had a limited amount of hot water (barely enough to wash my hair) and no possibility to choose breakfast, which was the same every day. And while the design is very nice,especially in the common areas,some details could have been improved. Overall, it felt more like a good Sri Lankan standard at a proud European price. For half of the price, I would definitely come back.

“Relax and enjoy life - surfing”
+My two adult daughters and I want peace and harmony after a roundtrip - and we got it and more during our 6-days stay. We stayed at the room with sea view and only a nice sound of the sea. Clean and plenty of space. The food - with a touch of France - was excellent. Always small surprises. Starting the day with a plate of fresh fruits. Ready for a day at the beach or by the swimming pool. The decoration of the reception, restaurant and the atmosphere (shoes are not allowed) was magic. The service with love, care and important for us humor. We also like the two dogs ;-) We didn’t surf - but we need a reasons to come back one day. We got massage twice and it was very professional. We celebrated New Year 2026 and it was like a kick start of the year. Warm recommendation from us if you need to relax and enjoy life 🙏🏻
