Imagine you come to visit your close friends who make their best to make your stay exceptional. This is how we were treated. You feel home and amongst friends with a similar vibe, who get attracted there. The place is secluded, right between the vast sandy beach which was good for swimming and a beautiful lagoon to enjoy a SUP trip. The food was irresistably good and the restaurant staff is fantastic! Cabanas are small, but serve its purpose. If you go winter, make sure you go to watch dolphins - within a relatively short boat trip you find yourself among hundreds of these cutest creatures! I could continue sharing my experiences, but to sum up i was leaving with tears in my eyes. This is how much i loved it here!

The hotel with a very well designed concept. The rooms are open (the bed is protected by a mosquito net), no air conditioning only fans. There are different animals on the territory, in the evening from the beach you can watch a beautiful sunset. Many different activities are available (kites, paddleboards, etc). For me to live in such close to nature was a new experience - as the huts have not completely closed walls, you can hear all the sounds around, especially it was impressive in a thunderstorm. In addition, there were fireflies hovering right above the bed at night. At the same time the hut was quite comfortable (the roof did not leak, there was no threat to wet your belongings), I really liked the shower in the garden - lack of hot water was not a problem, as the air temperature during the day is on average +30, so the water warms up during the day to a comfortable temperature. If you love nature and not scared by the lack of some facilities (like air conditioning), this hotel is a great option. However, the stairs to the first floor of the hut can be a problem for people with serious knee problems. The food in the hotel is quite good, prices are at a normal level, comparable to other restaurants for tourists (with European dishes on the menu).

A bit of a strange situation happened at check out, I went to breakfast by the start, I wanted to pay off all the bills as the driver was due to come for me. When paying I said that I was planning to go back to the room and that I hadn't finished packing my luggage. When I finished breakfast, my driver had arrived and my bags and shoes were already in the boot. I had to change my shoes literally in the sand on the road near reception, had to open my suitcase in the car boot and then carry a bag of slippers in the sand with me for a few more days. This spoilt the impression of the place, it felt like they just threw me out of the room as quickly as possible

Perfect for water babies with the beautiful ocean, kayaking on the lagoon and a gorgeous pool with shady loungers. Amazing food and activities such as horse riding along the shore and dolphin cruises.

If you’re searching for a true paradise on earth, look no further. This accommodation is a hidden gem, nestled by a pristine, non-crowded beach with an endless, breathtaking ocean view. The atmosphere here is all about tranquility and relaxation – nature is in charge, and it’s a beautiful thing to witness. The staff goes above and beyond, matching the high standards of service with genuine warmth and attentiveness. From the welcoming smiles to the small, thoughtful gestures, it’s clear that exceptional service is a top priority here. The experience is further enhanced by the sound of waves and the gentle wind, making each day feel like a dream. The restaurant’s playlist adds to the ambiance, creating a relaxed and enjoyable vibe, and the cocktails at the bar are truly the best – perfect for sipping as you soak in the view. The food is nothing short of delightful, with each meal crafted to perfection. This place is not only memorable but a destination you’ll want to return to again and again.

Nothing

Great location, perfect for kitesurfing (all levels) in the windy season...and it was perfect 18-20 knots every day.... amazing. All the food was really good... quality, variety and lots of it. Great range of cocktails too ..the signature was a lot of fun. Staff were really helpful, friendly and the service was impeccable. Definitely glad we chose this resort.

Despite the sea breeze and fan it still got a bit too hot for sleeping at night at times, and those early morning donkey wake up calls! There was still a lot of rubbish on the beach towards the lagoon, despite the daily best efforts of the resort staff to clean up around Elements which was spotless.

Fantastic location. Beautiful clean beach with lovely views. The food was of a very high standard. The buffet changed every night & we thought good value for 13 euros. The dolphin watching trip was unbelievable. That is a must do trip. As per usual in Sri Lanka the staff were wonderful. So friendly & smiling all of the time. The Eco huts were very comfortable but not sound proofed. We got used to the braying donkeys early in the morning. Did not not bother us at all.

Nothing major really. A few minor issues with the sanitation in our hut. Not enough to get stressed about though.

The Elements Beach and Nature Resort was an absolute highlight of our two-week trip to Sri Lanka. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning location and the serene beauty of the surroundings. The staff were truly exceptional, providing warm and attentive service that made us feel right at home. Our bungalow was nothing short of magical, with its picturesque design and cozy atmosphere. Each morning, we were delighted by the charming donkeys that came to greet us, adding a whimsical touch to our stay. Every aspect of our experience at the Elements Beach and Nature Resort was perfect. The combination of breathtaking scenery, outstanding service, and unique touches made it a place we will never forget. It truly felt like a paradise retreat. I cannot recommend the Elements Beach and Nature Resort highly enough. If you're looking for an unforgettable and enchanting stay in Sri Lanka, this is the place to be. We are already dreaming of our return visit!

nothing, they did an amazing job

Beautiful location, wonderful friendly and helpful staff. This place really is a delight. You can choose just to relax on the beach or take part in the range of water activities, as well as a selection of trips. We enjoyed dolphin watching and visiting Wilpattu national park, both arranged for us by the staff, as well as kayaking on the lagoon. Suranjan deserves special mention, with his broad smile, always willing to help.

Nothing!

The location and ideal of stay here was amazing as was all of the staff we encountered. Walks along empty beaches, good food and constant views of the ocean, donkeys, ox, etc were lovely

Although it is basically what we ‘sighed up for’ it was a bit too rustic, the water pressure was non existent (no shower, just a dribble). Had a late night visitor who damaged a bag looking for food, but I understand we were in an open beach villa to the ‘elements’

It's the most beautiful beach setting. The bungalows are very nice with outdoor shower and a very comfortable bed. The swimming pool is large and very well positioned and they have very good food selections for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The staff is very nice and helpful and we had a great four days here.

The kids stayed at the upper level in the bungalow, that had very little airflow and they were really suffering from the heat. The grand floor was well ventilated and cool at night.
