A little piece of paradise! We stayed at Eraeliya in the wonderful and spacious Villa Walauwa for 3 days at the end of our 2 weeks in Sri Lanka. The beautiful gardens right by the seaside, the pool and direct access to the beach were definite highlights. The staff were also very attentive and especially Rex went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and fulfil all our wishes!
The food was on the expensive side but as there was no restaurant (at least not during low season) everything was served to our terrace which was great.
Communication on activities (surfing for the kids) and spa appointments before our arrival was a bit difficult but once there everything worked out perfectly. Surfing in the bay just outside the hotel was not possible for beginners in October but easy to arrange in Weligama, a 5-10mins Tuk Tuk ride away

It felt like a dream. We booked the two bedroom villa, and it was more than what we had hoped for. Beautifully curated spaces, amazingly warm hospitality, some of the freshest food we have eaten, all came together to create an experience that we will remember for years to come.

Eraeliya — A Jewel in the Pearl of the Indian Ocean
Some places are beautiful. Others have a soul. Eraeliya Villas & Garden is very much the latter.
Perched dramatically on a stunning cliff above the ocean, this exquisite boutique retreat feels almost suspended between the sea and the sky. With effortless access to the beach and unforgettable sunsets, the setting is nothing short of extraordinary.
Our stay became even more magical with an unexpected upgrade to a room overlooking both the ocean and swimming pool. It truly felt like a dream — and exceeded anything we could have wished for.
What sets Eraeliya apart is its quiet sophistication and instinctive attention to detail. Every gesture feels personal and beautifully considered, extending even beyond the hotel when exploring the area.
And every evening, just before going to bed, a little local surprise awaited us — a charming touch inspired by Sri Lankan culture that made each night feel special and added an unexpected sense of discovery.
A very special thank you to Sudishka, who went far beyond expectations in organising a beautiful birthday celebration for my niece; to Kavindu, whose warmth made us feel genuinely at home; and to Raj at reception, for his kindness and effortless professionalism.
Our deepest appreciation to Miss Lola, Hotel Manager, and Mr Akila, Executive Sous Chef, whose dedication and care are reflected throughout the experience.
The cuisine deserves special praise — a beautiful blend of authentic Sri Lankan traditions and exceptionally premium seafood, creating dishes that feel both deeply rooted and wonderfully refined.
Eraeliya is the rare kind of place where luxury is never announced — it is quietly felt: in the setting, the cuisine, the details, the little surprises, and above all, in the people.
We came to experience a beautiful corner of the Pearl of the Indian Ocean and left with something far more precious — the feeling of having been genuinely cared for.

This hotel has stunning decor and a prime beachfront location with excellent arrival service that creates a luxurious first impression. However, several significant problems marred our stay.
Our original room had severe plumbing odors and was under maintenance (not communicated beforehand)
• The entire hotel was undergoing construction with builders throughout the property
• Our upgraded room had beautiful design but only lukewarm water for the feature of the suite’s stone bath
• Poor communication and transparency about ongoing renovations
Expensive rates with no included breakfast and no nearby dining options
• Overpriced minibar ($4 for small chip packets)
• Hidden 18% VAT added to all prices, increasing our nightly rate by $55
Birthday cake we requested was allegedly “thrown away” before evening (likely eaten by staff)
• Promised complimentary breakfast was retracted the next morning
• Difficult to locate staff for service requests despite provided WhatsApp contact. Poor communication skills
• Inconsistent follow-through on commitments
