The property is remote… It’s the perfect place to write a book. Having said that there’s tons to do if you’d like, kites surfing, or boating… You can visit historic sites… Sunset on the Indian Ocean is very serene. The staff will love you and take care of you as if you were their own family. The professional chef will make the best, fresh seafood you’ve ever had! FRESH/alive beforr cooking.

Of all my years of traveling I have never found such a beautiful place that incorporates such a perfect blend of creativity, stunning nature, fresh sea air, incredible views, rustic charm. This resort has a magic of its own that provides guests with the deepest sense of calm and relaxation. The staff are exceptionally helpful and greet you with a smile and warmth making you feel comfortable and welcome, nothing is too much trouble. The on-site chef provides delicious food and excellent value for money and will tailor to your requirements happily. The cabanas are beautifully designed combining comfort with nature. We stayed in the family room which was well thought out and perfect for our family of four providing a very good sized living space. We took several excursions by boat and would highly recommend the mangroves trip, swimming in the most natural source of lazy river was a fabulous experience for us all and unique memories that will stay with us and our children. We can’t wait to go back to this truly stunning haven.

Never ever have I thought that during our world journeys I will find the place so close to paradise in each aspect! From the very beginning you feel like home! The hotel is so arranged that you find a beautiful detail in every corner, although most is round :) The couple from Sweden, Carolina and Roland who manage the hotel are the best! They helped us a lot. First of all they speak English fluently! Before, in every hotel that was a problem for us. The owners didn't speak English, or it was really hard to get them. Carolina and Roland feel and understand the guests so well! We will never forget the movie night with popcorn! Thank you so much! Then it's much, much easier to arrange anything: from money exchange, ice cream and coconuts to tuk tuks or short and long trips as well as small and deep talks ;) The place is created to relax either after busy travels around the island or just from the work at home. Here is a list of all we loved: lots of places to hide and relax in peace like hammocks, lovely benches with ocean view, the pool, yoga and reception spots with cushions and wifi spots :), silence, the restaurant with fantastic Ravi and other boys, the most comfortable beds!, breakfasts with Nescafe coffee, fresh juice every day, coconuts, yummy ice cream and fantastic seafood dinners, cleanliness, birds singing, mornings and evenings and above all the atmosphere of the place, possibility to jog to town, volleyball and soccer pitches 10min walk from the hotel, great restaurants around in Kalpitiyia and Kudawa with its best Windy Waves! We also went there for kitesurfing. The kite school is at the hotel with its best instructors: Jeevan and Aarus! Thanx guys for every day and especially for the Kite trip to Wella Island! Special thanks to Luke and Ben ;)

I truly loved the peaceful atmosphere, which creates the perfect setting to enjoy a morning coffee by the lagoon, unwind after kitesurfing, or simply relax with a delicious meal at the café. What really makes this place special is the amazing staff — always smiling and ready to help. I especially want to highlight Ansalees, the young administrator, who manages to maintain a warm and friendly relationship with his team while creating an unforgettable experience for guests. A special mention also goes to Jeewan for the excellent kitesurfing lessons. If you're ready to try kitesurfing, this place is definitely paradise. Ashen always served with a big smile and made sure the food arrived on time, adding to the overall great experience. And last but not least, there is Chathuranga — often behind the scenes, but working hard every day to keep the surroundings beautiful. Thanks to his efforts, the blooming plants and well-maintained environment make this place even more enjoyable.

The only thing I felt was missing during my stay was a bit more variety at breakfast. For example, it would have been wonderful to have some wholesome gluten-free porridge options, such as buckwheat or certified gluten-free oats. If there were mozzarella with tomatoes, or a ricotta or cottage cheese in the morning, it would be just perfect. Additionally, I missed having better coffee choices in the morning — a good Italian-style coffee or a cappuccino made with almond milk (for a lactose-free option) would have been a perfect addition. I also believe the kitesurfing equipment could use some updates. On lighter wind days, there were no bigger kites available, and one of the kites had a torn sail. Furthermore, the kitesurfing boots were clearly worn out and in need of replacement.

New resort directly on the lagoon. Great bungalows. Clean, comfortable and well furnished. With private veranda. The breakfast was more than ample. We ate there in the evening. Reasonable prices for the more than good dinner. Very friendly and helpful staff. The resort is quite far away at the end of a dusty road. The manager organises transport to the main road.

Luke the owner was superb! His vision for the property is truly inspirational. The atmosphere, vibe, service & professionalism was first class. Food was delicious. We gave the chef free reign to cook for us. We were not disappointed! Fish, prawns, incredible soups, curry, freshly made naan bread. We felt very spoilt! The property has been designed with love and care. The views! We loved all the finer details on display. The location is a knock-out! Right on the lagoon. What a magic spot to kite surf & do a range of water sports. Luke and his staff can cater for everyone’s needs. Can’t forget to mention the bed! Divine! Lovely linen. Gorgeous outdoor shower too. My husband and I travel a lot. And have stayed in too many places to count. What we love about Asari is the love that has been put into designing & creating this resort. It’s special. If you want to arrive to a beautiful unspoilt location with the warmest of smiles & services then you will love this place! Truly a very memorable experience. Sad to leave, but we will return. 5 stars!!!!

Nothing.

It is in a beautiful location. There was beautiful scenery and sunset . So relaxing. Kind and helpful staff. Specially Amila was very nice.

The breakfast was outstanding. The activities provided by the hotel was spot on, especially Kayaking. Would highly recommend this place.

Unique and modern set up. Well thought out chalet set up - very clean.

Only minor things: No toiletries eg: shampoo or body lotions etc Some items on menu were not available at the restaurant but can be managed.
