An amazing boutique hotel right on the beach. Extremely relaxing and comfortable stay in a beautiful spacious room overlooking the Indian Ocean. The staff make this place feel even more wonderful and welcoming! The food is amazing with traditional Sri Lankan cuisine and the fruit juices are to die for! Highly recommend this gem if you are looking for a relaxed and chilled experience by the sea and surrounding by natural beauties!

We loved everything about this place!

A wonderful getaway if you are looking for a combination of nature, serenity and luxury all in one package. A pristine private beach is in the frontside of the hotel whereas lush green paddy fields can be seen in the backside. A perfect place for birdwatching and relaxation by the beach. We travelled with our son who is 20 months old, so we were very particular about the arrangements. Needless to say that everything was arranged perfectly to suit our needs. They had upgraded us to a sea view suite free of charge which was very nice of them and had arranged an extra bed in the room as well. Mr.Asoka was constantly in contact with us to ensure that we were at comfort. Mr. Nishantha took us on a short hike to Ussangoda mountain in the evening which had fantastic views of sunset and the beach. They had arranged snacks and a kite for our son on the mountain which came as a big surprise. Food was authentic and very delicious. Flexible meal times and private dining was an added advantage particularly since we travelled with a toddler. He enjoyed the pool and the private garden very much. The kitchen staff was kind enough to prepare special meals for our son. They even arranged gifts for him, a birthday cake for my husband and takeaway sandwiches which was very nice of them. All in all, I would say that this is the best holiday we had so far and we thank the whole staff at Ravana Garden for their excellent work and commitment.

A unique experience with the discovery of the real Sri Lanka far from tourists ! just with lovely local people, lovely staff who are here to make you feel comfortable. Amazing culinary experience (we finally had local food , fine dining ). They offered us the Honeymoon suite and it was an incredible place !

As it’s located in the heart of nature maybe too much insects for me but if you love nature you will definitely fall in love with this place !

Ravanna Garden is a boutique hotel like no other. The staff, food, rooms, garden, pool, beach are all exceptional. It is a little oasis in an otherwise busy world! On Arrival there is building works going on which a little off putting, but no one is disturbed by it and once walked beyond it you arrive into the oasis! The rooms are large, super clean and comfortable with every facility needed . NOTE - on arrival you are asked to let them know if ,and when, you would like your room cleaned. Remember this is an eco hotel, therefore how often do you really need your towels and linen changing ?! The food is exceptional, organic, local, and you can even buy their own local spices. The service throughout is excellent and they cannot do enough to ensure your stay with them is nothing short of everything you would like. A walk along the beach is must to the harbour wall where there is a safe swimming spot, and many of the locals converge there. Be brave and stay longer than 1 or 2 nights, it is very much well worth it - there are added surprises along the way and the team do everything they can. Bikes are available to go the local temple and a visit with a hotel guide to show the effects of the Tsunami is a must, plus the wildlife and roadside stores make for a very interesting visit.

NOTHING at all!

Having been fortunate enough to have stayed at the hotel and been the only guests for 3 out of the 8 days we were there. This gave us a unique experience of the hotel and the staff. We felt like we had our own private hotel. The hotel has a very local feel to it with an impression of being submerged in the forest surrounded by greenery. So much wildlife and the sound of the ocean constant crashing on the beach The team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome comfortable and at home. As an eco hotel with full board we were not sure how it would be and if we would enjoy the experience. The locally sourced fresh food was amazing and could not be faulted. We could not help but leave empty plates after every meal. We would highly recommend viewing the video on the iPad provided in the room. This will give you a better idea of the resort and how it works. If travelling with younger kids or fussy eaters the hotel was very flexible and help making some simple foods for it 4 year old son. We were lucky enough to visit Sri Lanka at New Year and the team were very kind to arrange a special breakfast and involve us with the traditional ceremonies, celebrations and games and even planting the trees❤️ After this vacation we felt so comfortable we almost felt like we were at home. I’m sure everyone has different experiences and when visiting new places but our was just perfect for us. We would highly recommend this resort to any of our friends or anyone planning to visit Sri Lanka. We would like to thank our hosts, again, for the amazing time we had in the Ravana Garden resort! Will be back for sure ♥️

Loved the healthy organic food. Staff were so lovely, friendly and helpful. Rooms were beautiful with lovely interior and comfy beds. Pool area was clean, quiet and towels drinks delivered to beds. Loved getting coconut water delivered to room on first day. New year eve and day was lovely with Sri Lankan dancing and a Buddhist blessing. Highly recommended.

It was quite far away from any towns with any shops. We unfortunately couldnt do private dining or fishing due to the weather. We also wanted a babysitter but we had a communication problem and the staff thought we meant baby chair ! Not a problem though as our 7 year old sat in the library with Ipad. Take mosquito spray, we got bitten alot.

This is a wonderful, small hotel off the beaten track. The staff (including Dilki, Lakshitha and Malith) were all very friendly and helpful. The food was different at every meal and cooked from local ingredients. Every dish was a surprise and very delicious. We ate vegetarian food. The hotel is dedicated to sustainability. The swimming pool was very nice. To swim in the sea you have to walk quite far along the beach. Our room had a fantastic view of the beach. There was plenty of wildlife to see. We went on a cycling tour through the village which was a great experience. The local river safari is definitely worth it for bird spotting and the sunset. We loved it here

We had an open air shower but it had very little water in it, so very difficult to shower. The WiFi was slow, especially in the bedroom

the Ocean, calmness, silence, cleanness, the staff r amazing friendly n care. The fooood was killing yummy

I have phobia from nature, I believe its my issue not there one. If u r friend with tropical environment, u will enjoy it.

The staff couldn’t do enough to please us, everyone was exceptionally kind and helpful, a big thank you to Dikki. The care for sustainability and the local community must be praised Stunning surrounding on an amazing beach.

The common areas could do with a bit of care and few elements of deco, develop the bar on the first floor. We asked to have lunch up there and the view is amazing People must be aware that you can’t swim near the hotel (the ocean is rough snd dangerous) and must walk along the beach to reach a swimming area.

Firstly, if you want too try a full range of Sri Lankan cuisine at a high standard, I would highly recommend Ravana. We had amazing 5 course meals, 3 times a day! Each one was different and delicious. The staff were very attentive, the property was clean and we had a very comfortable room. It is quite remote, which worked for us for a bit of peace & quiet, but if you’re looking for nearby bars & restaurants there aren’t many beyond Tangalle, 45 mins away. We don’t doubt that come a few years this could be another coastline overpopulated by hotels. So well worth a visit before it does so.

The staff were very kind and would go out of their way to look after us. Perhaps because it is a small hotel with few guests, staff could feel a little over attentive at times. It’s perfectly manageable, but worth stressing you want to be left to your own devices.
