Nothing

Location is superb and unbeatable, located right on Rekawa beach where the turtles come to nest. We went on turtle watch and after we had seen the turtles laying and heading back to the ocean, we were able to easily head back home! The house is beautiful with huge bedrooms and modern tasteful bathrooms. I loved the pared back minimalistic decor. We had Ayurvedic massages arranged by the staff and it was so relaxing and professional. The chef, Thilagan is amazing and served us the most delicious food. The other two members of staff were friendly, helpful and could not do enough. They climbed up and got us coconuts to drink which were so tasty! I was sad to say goodbye.

We stayed at both Sati Villa properties in Sri Lanka and they were the highlight of the trip for us. Perfect location and off the beaten track which was great for privacy! The team were all so friendly and kind. Constant smiles on their faces. The food was incredible!!! Always on time and really looked after us. The quality of the villa was lovely it was such a cool style. A truly special time and I can’t wait to go back. Cannot thank the team enough!

Nothing really

An amazing spot right on the most amazing beach. We were also fortunate enough to see green turtles come up the beach & lay their eggs in the evening. The staff were very attentive & helpful with arrangements & the freshly cooked food was very nice. The villa itself is spectacular & a lovely design & very comfortable for a group of six.

Nothing to complain about

Wonderful location, on a very clean beach, with a great staff. We had wonderfully local food cooked daily, everyone was extremely careful to our needs. Highly recommended!

Just a point to note if you are travelling in a big vehicle access may be tricky in bad weather or late in the night but we were fine in a mini bus!

The architecture and location of the building was outstanding. Kumara and the team hosted us so well. The food was delicious. We needed more time as didn't get round to getting out late for the turtles!

For a relaxing, nature filled hideaway holiday, there was very little not to like

The villa and location are stunning. Such a pristine, isolated spot with an abundance of wildlife and the highlight being the turtles. The villa team were brilliant at coordinating, seeing firstly baby turtles hatching and heading out to the sea and then seeing female turtles laying their eggs. The villa was modern and clean with simple yet refined architecture. It had everything we needed for a relaxing, luxurious stay. The food put on by Kumara and the team was superb and a true taste of Sri Lanka but also catered for the varying maturity of our kids palates. We only had time for a couple of nights but we will definitely be back for a longer stay soon.

Great position on Rekawa beach. Wonderful staff (brilliant with children) and good food. Beach was absolutely stunning and an ever changing landscape due to the strong waves. Villa dogs were wonderful. Definitely recommend local kayaking.

Personnel was waiting for me at 3:30am, welcoming me and my family with cut fresh fruit.

We liked everything, but good to know that you cannot swim at the beach where the house is (current too strong). There is a pool, but it is rather small.

Beautiful villa right on the beach. Very secluded. Staff is extremely friendly and prepared wonderful food for us. We also got a chance to see a turtle lay eggs at night.

It didn’t bother us much but you cannot swim in the beach. We still had a great time on the beach and enjoyed the giant waves.

The beautiful stretch of beach behind the garden was breathtaking. We watched a turtle nesting on a nearby beach on the second night. So many animals passed through the garden (monkeys, water buffalo, peacocks, chipmunks). The staff were so kind and accommodating. The rooms were very comfortable and we all enjoyed the pool.

The villa is amazing, design comfort, location, but the staff is even better! Priyantha (the chef) and Sisira are two amazing persons, extremely available, super friendly and professional, made our stay absolutely fantastic. Whatever we needed, they knew it before we could ask! The food cooked by Priyantha was unique. We have travelled through several luxurious lodges, but none could compete with him. Let him suggest the meals, you will not regret it! Sisira was showing us the best spots on the beach, helping out with everything and get us on very short notice request on the fron line watching a sea turtle laying her eggs on the beach just under the villa! Amazing experience, great stay, extremely reccommended!

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to swim at the beach, but luckily there are other beaches in the area where swimming was possible.

We loved our stay here! The villa was wonderful and we enjoyed the delicious meals prepared by a chef both trained in Sri Lankan and European dishes. The staff was very friendly and the house was a great place to rest. We also saw baby turtles on the beach and this made this place even more special. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

We can't swim in the ocean. Ocean has big waves. But 15 min by car or tuk-tuk they have good beach.

Very relax atmosphere. Amazing view. Turtles . Very kind staffs. They are helped us. Very tasty food, for our diet. No spices, no pepper. I saw monkeys, dogs, peacocks. We found Kudawalla beach, very wild, good for swimming.

honestly speaking everything was amazing we want to our kids next time when we visit Sri Lanka

I cannot even begin to explain the serenity of this place while listening to the sea from our balcony and bed. The villa is beach front and we had all the space just for the two of us- it was perfect! Came to Sati straight from the airport with ease and checked in early. We woke up, told the chef what to make for breakfast and walked to the reef along the beach. The beach was marked with turtle paths and felt like we were the only people around. The garden had a peahen and chicks roaming around while we were having breakfast. All types of birds and monkeys in the neighbouring garden. This was the most peaceful, energizing and relaxing stay we have had as a couple. The massage therapy was just what we needed to end our wonderful stay at Sati. Regretting we didn’t book a couple of more nights here. The host and staff are so flexible and even the meals are personalised, highly recommended.
