we loved everything about this property

The location with infinity pool with view and access to the ocean. The serenity, layout and staff were impeccable

Stayed in August 2025

I would not recommend this property if travelling with children. Whilst we were accommodated into 'family rooms' there are hefty additional charges for extra beds. The loft rooms, whilst cosy, are located in the same kitchen /staff block, so it is noisy at night and early morning.

The overall property is amazing, the location is beautiful and the staff were very helpful and accommodating. The breakfast was also exceptional.

No issues.

We stayed in the main house upstairs, and the room was amazing. The house itself was one of the most beautiful I’ve seen in Sri Lanka. The grounds were incredible, with great finishing touches and a beautiful setting. But most of all, the service was exceptional. Truly, nothing at all was at fault, it was exceptional. It was a truly memorable time, and I will certainly be going back.

Would have liked an outdoor shower maybe

Location and style

Stayed in June 2025

Shower floor got filled really quickly and we had to pause the shower as to not flood the room (despite the drain not having any blockage or debris). Otherwise everything was amazing

The whole stay was incredible, from check in to check out. The property is extravagant, the location is truly breathtaking. We were treated extremely well, special thank you to Dulshan as due to low season and not having many guests we were very blessed to have gotten a room upgrade! Included in our booking was a complimentary 15 massage, thanks to Renuka and her amazing massage skills, it felt like an hour and was so relaxing. Also a big thank you to Rex and Sadun for being extremely helpful and lovely in assisting us in whatever we needed, and Tharaka.

Such a beautiful, colonial style property with an amazing view of the sea, and a small beach you can walk right onto. The pool is beautiful and so relaxing. Our gorgeous room opened up to the pool terrace and we had a delicious lunch and breakfast overlooking the pool and sea. The staff were unbelievably attentive, Sandun was a fantastic server, with a great smile. He made sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend staying at this wonderful boutique hotel.

It's a little expensive for the area but for us it was worth it.

Pure paradise! The garden at this property is something else... a beautiful sanctuary (in an otherwise pretty hectic town) with an amazing view over the sea and easy access to the beach. A really lovely place to relax, eat and sunbathe, we didn't want to leave! The food is absolutely delicious, the rooms very comfortable, and the staff incredibly accommodating. We will recommend this to anyone visiting Weligama.

Perfect stay at Eraeliya. Hotel in a great location just outside of Weligama centre. Great pool and garden. Most importantly the staff were excellent.

Stayed in April 2025

Everything in $US which is not very “ Sri Lankan”Laundry prices extreme when you can get 2 kg of laundry washed dried and folded for the equivalent of $2.50 100 metres outside the gate

Beautiful property right on the water - very relaxing and staff were amazing once we got over a hiccup at check in . Amazing breakfast ( not included in room rate ) Lots of good restaurants in Weligama and Mirissa which is a quick and inexpensive Tuk Tuk ride away

Our best stay in Sri Lanka! Beautiful hotel, pool, great breakfast and very friendly staff. Would highly recommend and come back if we are ever in Sri Lanka again

Stayed in April 2025

Amazing stay and our room was beautiful. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The only downside - our toilet smelt quite badly in the room and the location outside of the gates didn't feel very safe. We felt for the price we paid, maybe a slightly bigger breakfast could have been served, as only able to choose 1 item from the list provided. Also not enough sunbeds on the lawn to accommodate all guests.

Stayed in April 2025

Our room was very dark.

I loved the facility and staff were great.

the property is exceptionally located with a high level of attention to detail in terms of design, furnishing, and comfort. The setting is beautiful and the direct beach access is great. The staff are attentive and make you feel at home - a special mention to Rex who made the stay as great as it was!

Stayed in March 2025

Beach is easy to access but there is no sunbeds from the hotel (they are on the main territory near the pool). You can get better beach a bit aside from the hotel. Price is high but this is really an exceptional experience

We enjoyed one day in the beautiful place. Villas and the main building are well decorated. Territory is clean and relaxing. Beautiful pool with a great view to the ocean. Rooms are good enough but to get the most of this hotel I would better book the room on the second floor of the main building. Breakfast was nicely served outside, food was good.

Amazing place to stay, really lovely and attentive staff. Gorjus location right on the water, excellent meals and a nice and spacious room. They also have a spa on site and the massages were really good.

Stayed in March 2025

Heavenly stay from start to finish. All the staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. The experience is very intimate. The garden is incredibly tranquil and the views are amazing. Could not recommend this hotel more. Special shout outs to Sandun who was so attentive and helpful (first class service), and also the young woman who was front of house and the hotel manager who made our stay extra special.

Stayed in March 2025

Our first night, the draining system did not work in the shower so our whole room was flooded. However the staff was very nice and helpful and upgraded our room for the next day. I must say it’s an expensive stay for Sri Lanka.

The pool is beautiful and it’s a beautiful hotel for a getaway.

Stayed in March 2025

The hotel is beautiful and the view even better. Every morning you can enjoy their delicious breakfast while looking at the sea. Food is amazing - some of the best we ate in Sri Lanka. Staff are so lovely and kind - Sandun and Rex were wonderful. You can walk down to the local beach. Tuk tuks outside to take you wherever you want to go. Highly recommend, we absolutely loved it.

Beautiful, classy & stylish boutique hotel facing the sea.

The only minor issue was the pre-payment taken before our stay which is unusual and I found a little confusing but there was good communication throughout so don't be surprised if you're asked to pay up front, it appears to be the norm here.

This is such a lovely hotel, from the moment we arrived the staff were extremely attentive and the location and views are just breathtaking!! We had a ground floor room opening out on to the pool area and direct access to the sea. The room was spacious with a huge shower and good air con and fan options (not too noisy). We've been to Sri Lanka before so didn't feel the need to venture out for excursions and we were so well taken care of at Eraeliya we ate there 4 out of 6 nights, the food is very competitively priced as you receive a discount on all food and beverage. The menu isn't huge but everything we tried was really tasty and freshly made. There are lots of lovely places to sit around the grounds it feels more like staying in someones house than in a hotel, we would gladly return!

We had the most amazing 3 nights. It was truly an exceptional experience. The hotel was beautiful, so peaceful and I loved how there was no restaurant so we ate breakfast outside our private hut, had lunch around the beautiful gardens. The food was completely delicious. Sandun was a particular star, he went above and beyond and always had the biggest smile on his face. He is truly a highlight from our stay. We stayed in the Muhudu Bella Hut and it was sensational. Fantastic massage as well. Beautiful views and a hotel that I will always remember.

Our stay at Erealiya Garden Villas in the Ocean Loft was magical. The eclectic, thoughtfully designed interior filled with charming details like daily water changes, towel swaps, and a sweet Sri Lankan candy surprise made us feel right at home. It’s a peaceful jungle retreat that soothes both mind and body. The staff went above and beyond, ensuring our comfort in a place where everything is already perfect. From cold towels and fresh fruit to daily chats, their kindness truly made our stay. It’s worth noting that the entire team – from the gardeners to the cooks to the security staff – work harmoniously to create an exceptional experience. The complimentary nadasve was a lovely touch, and the facial I booked was so relaxing I dozed off during the treatment. The breakfast options were amazing. Everything was so fresh and flavorful, it will be hard to satisfy my tastebuds when I return home. However, we did notice some behavior from other guests that didn’t sit well with us. The staff is incredibly hard-working and pure-hearted, always going the extra mile without being asked. It’s disappointing to see rudeness or arrogance directed at them, as kindness and respect should always be the standard. To the owner: Be proud of your team. The warmth and joy of the Sri Lankan staff made our experience even more special. The villa’s location is perfect – away from the tourist crowds but just a minute from the local beach, complete with a bar and a surfing school. We loved borrowing bikes to explore and meet locals. When my mom had a surfing injury, the staff was incredibly responsive, helping us find medical care and even arranging breakfast for us when we couldn’t make it back in time. One suggestion for the Ocean Loft: adding anti-slip strips to the stairs would improve safety. In summary, our stay was extraordinary, and we’re sad to leave. Erealiya Garden Villas is a truly special place, and we’ll definitely return!
