My husband and I stayed 2 nights as part of our honeymoon and loved it. The rooms are huge with massive beds and bathrooms. We were lucky enough to have a room with a large balcony overlooking the pool and jungle.
The location is great, a short 10 minute walk to the beach across the railway.
The breakfast was fantastic, I would recommend ordering the Sri Lankan breakfast option (order the night before).
The owners were lovely and we're flexible with arrival time/check out and allowed us a much needed sleep in and said they could do breakfast as late as we wanted.
We didn't use the pool but it looked lovely and peaceful.
You get unlimited free filtered water in your room and we loved that it was in a large container to reduce the need for lots of plastic bottles. Everywhere should do this!
Air con was great, no issues. Everywhere was very clean and the staff were so attentive.
Karen, the owner, was very helpful in giving us local advice and arranged excellent drivers for us to and from our stay. The car even had WiFi! We are at the local recommended restaurant on the beach which was incredible, and they arranged a tuk tuk back for us.
My only recommendation would be for them to consider adding a kettle with tea/coffee in the rooms, but other than that we can't fault out stay!
Thank you for a lovely few days!
Sophie and Nick

From the moment we entered the gates of Shangri Lanka, we experienced a sense of peace and wellbeing. It is like a little Oasis of beauty, within about a ten minute walk to a lovely unspoiled beach.
The garden was beautiful with an abundance of wildlife and so much attention had been given to detail. Watching the gardener at work, you could see that he took immense pride and enjoyment in what he did.
The pool is spotlessly clean and is without doubt the nicest pool that we had ever swam in, just the perfect temperature for a swimming pool in the tropics.
The rooms are spacious and very clean, with hot running water and regular towel and bedding changes.
Karen and Rohan are great hosts and nothing was too much trouble. Karen was informative and helpful regarding the booking and all emails were responded to promptly.
Rohan is Sri Lankan, so has great knowledge of the country and local area. The service we received during our stay was excellent and all the staff had big smiles and were happy to help. They had an excellent massage lady, who spoke very good English and gave without a doubt the best massage we had in Sri Lanka. Airport transfers can be organised on request in clean, air-conditioned cars with responsible and safe drivers.
The villa has a lovely small restaurant soley for guests and are flexible very about meal times. The menu is varied and extremely good value for money, serving high quality food. You can also choose the option of eating on your balcony if you wish.
The villa also has two lovely friendly dogs on the property, but they do not beg for food or jump up at the tables, although sometimes they may come and sit near by. If you do not wish for the dogs to be near you while you eat, the staff will usher them away, but we in no way found them intrusive, in fact we thought they added to the character of the place.
If you want a nice quiet break away in a beautiful boutique style hotel, this is one that we would recommend.

Shangri-Lanka Villa is a very highly rated home-stay property located in Bentota, Sri Lanka. Surrounded by lush greenery, this property highlights individual villas and a swimming pool.

I loved the bathroom the most in this property. The water pressure was really good and was nice to take a shower after all the travel.

I had booked at a rate that included breakfast and the caretaker took our order the night before. We opted for Western Breakfast instead of traditional Sri Lankan breakfast.

Thumbs up:

Room had 3 beds with a huge bathroom
Very nice breakfast
Personalized service. The caretaker of the property was very nice and no issue was too small or minor to fix for him.

Thumbs down:

Pricing was steep compared to local prices and economy (Even the room-service menu)
Even though the property provided mosquito repellent, we got mosquito bites all night

You won't be disappointed in beautiful surroundings, very welcoming staff including a masseuse, excellent Chef, bedrooms and bathrooms big and tastefully decorated. All run by Rohan and Karen to a very high standard. They have enhanced their facilities by opening a fish restaurant on the beach 10 minutes walk away called Sun and Sea - an ideal lunch/dinner alternative of high quality local food. We have stayed here several times and are never disappointed.

This beautiful boutique hotel is but a short tuk tuk ride form the beach. It has seven delightful rooms (all with A/C), restaurant, swimming pool and on site massage service. The place is tranquil and even when the hotel is full it never appears to be busy. I happily languished by the pool and read most days.

Prem and his team could not have looked after us better. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious with fragrant curries and other local dishes. The staff are happy to arrange bookings at local restaurants and to call for the tuk tuk service to take you there and back.

If rest and relaxation is what you are looking for then look no further. It is a great place to stay.

Every aspect of the stay was of excellent quality: the rooms were spacious, stylish, and very comfortable, and the bathtub was a particular luxury. Our stay was very quiet because of the Covid situation, but the tranquility of the hotel and its surroundings would no doubt be a constant. The pool area was especially lovely. The food was very tasty- the Sri Lankan breakfast in particular- and all the staff were obliging and extremely polite. Recommended!

We have stayed at Shangri Lanka Villa before and always enjoyed our stay. This time (March 2020) was no different. Our room was super clean and beautifully presented on arrival and the staff cleaned the room every day. Food at the villa is excellent especially the fresh fish dishes. Premalal and his team of staff are always on hand and nothing is too much trouble.
Soon after our arrival in Sri Lanka Covid-19 became a very serious issue around the world and as such we had to cancel our trips that we’d organised. Consequently we spent all of our holiday at Shangri Lanka Villa mainly sat in the beautifully laid out tropical garden with pool.
We can wholeheartedly recommend Shangri Lanka for a beautifully relaxing place to stay with good service, good food and nice atmosphere.
Our thanks to Karen and Rohan (the owners) and Prem and his team for making our stay during what was a very uncertain time for everybody so much easier and reassuring. Stay safe.

Probably our 5th or 6th visit to the lovely boutique b and b. Well looked after by Prem and the staff, breakfast on the balcony every morning. Relaxing by the pool all day with drinks and lunch bought to the poolside or taken in the outdoor restaurant.
Excellent massage on a couple of the days. Tuktuk available anytime with very friendly drivers to run you around town, very reasonable rates!!
In all our visits we cannot fault the place and will probably return for another visit.

I stayed here for 7 nights, the villa, the rooms, the pool and all facilities are first class.

Karen, Prem and the team are really great at looking after the guests. Nothing is too much and their advice is well founded.

The pool is great for relaxing around with plenty of shade, the food and drinks exceptional and a late afternoon massage is a must.

The Villa is situated to be in easy tut tut ride of the beach and restaurants should you choose to wander at night time.

Many thanks for your exceptional hospitality during my stay.

When I am next in Bentota I know exactly where I will be staying !

Just returned from an amazing holiday at shangri Lanka villa, there were 6 of us celebrating special birthdays and anniversary
Karen and Rohan arranged everything for us with meticulous detail, the services of a excellent competent driver visits to kandy, Dambulla, passekuda, shangri Lanka village Unawatuna and back to base at bentota. All hotels and excursions were arranged in advanced by karen and Rohan.
Everything went smoothly with no hitches at all

The staff at both shangri Lanka villa and shangri Lanka village are fantastic and nothing is too much trouble even down to an organised BBQ on the beach at sunset and a hog roast at the villa.
This was an amazing way to celebrate and all 6 of us had a fantastic time and plan to return again
Thanks again to Karen and Rohan and all their great staff for a wonderful holiday.

Sorry for the very late reply. This did not show in my emails but I have found it on Tripadvisor. Yes its walkable in 15 minutes maximum. Takes me 10 minutes. It is flat no incline. We are in a peaceful location tucked away with loads of birds and nature. There are many properties on the beach but the railway line and the main road runs along side so not so tranquil. We are suited that like the peace and a walk to the beach or a 5 to 10 minute Tuk ride.

Airport transfers are 9000rs each way and include the highway tolls. Highway reduces the journey length by at least one hour. There are many day trips, Galle Dutch Fort, Hikkaduwa, Luna Ganga, Brief garden, Turtle hatchery, river safari. Kande Vihara and other Buddhist and Hindu Temples. Longer trips for Yala safari etc You can swap any nights with sister hotel shangri-lanka Village if you want safari. In May the small cheap beach restaurants like Bentota Rock will probably not be open just short term rents with different people running then month to month. The main places like Wunderbar, Amal villa, Diya Sisilia will be open but are not cheap. Direct booking with half board is best option as May has special rates as it is considered monsoon although it doesn't always rain and definitely not like an Indian monsoon. Almost all hotels offer special half board rates so restaurants are usually closed or very quiet.
