Villa Saffron Hikkaduwa

Villa Saffron was truly wonderful, beautiful property with a stylish Sri Lankan design but what made it exceptional was the staff- Sunil & team were extraordinarily professional & hospitable. The food & service was second to none, Sunil & his colleagues ensured we had a fantastic stay- thank you!

Hikkaduwa is a small village, one street, on the coast, a few hotels, guesthouses, shops, cafes. This villa is a cozy big house with 5 rooms - 5 suites. The attitude of the staff is the most attentive, help in everything. This is not a hotel, but your room will be cleaned, towels will be changed (toothbrushes and slippers are recommended to take your own), they will feed you breakfast, lunch, dinner at a convenient time for you, they will bring a sweet compliment at 5 pm with tea/coffee. A very decent level of nutrition is a wonderful chef who makes excellent homemade coconut ice cream and delicious vegetables in tempura, ravioli with pumpkin or fish in white sauce. Your little fastidious person will be selected a diet and patiently cook potatoes or rice in different ways (our 7-year-old young man eats little, but came home very well-fed)), separate words of gratitude - Sunil Dissanayake. There was nothing we asked for and didn't get. Thanks to Sunil, the guest feels at home. Thanks from our whole family! The beach opposite the villa is beautiful, but the entrance to the ocean is rocky and we were in the season of big waves. Swimming is not real. But a 5-minute tuk-tuk ride to a nice beach (turtle beach), huge sea turtles come. On the beach, you can settle down in a "wild" way on a towel under palm trees (be careful, coconuts)) or at the hotel on the beach there is a good infrastructure (sun loungers, towels, pool, bar, you can take buffet lunches). The locals are very friendly, the rest was excellent.

- A lovely greeting from the manager upon arrival. - Sunil really couldn’t do enough for us and even made us New Year treats. - Beautifully secluded pool right on the beach but tucked away for privacy compared some of the other hotels along the beach - truly stunning - The hotel is at the perfect part of the beach where people are few and far between. If you walk 30 mins down and around the beach to the right, it’s horrendously busy - stay where the hotel is as it’s so peaceful! - Lovely complimentary tea and cake each afternoon which is a nice touch - Very welcoming staff - Beautifully decorated rooms (and the whole hotel)

Such a beautiful property, just as advertised. Our room on the 1st floor was huge (Saffron) with an equally huge balcony overlooking the pool/ocean. We had delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners on the terrace. It felt like our own private house at times! The surfing area was just over a 5 min walk up the beach, the main reason for booking in this location, but Villa Saffron certainly didn't disappoint for the non surfing member of our team! Sunil and his team were absolutely amazing in the way they looked after us. Would highly recommend Villa Saffron.

The interior decoration and layout was very tastefully done in our room as well as the rest of the public areas which complemented the seaside location very well. Moreover the staff were very friendly and hospitable and made our stay ever so easy and comfortable. The manager, Sunil was very attentive to us all and accommodated our concerns and requests in a very respectful and agreeable manner. Overall our stay at Villa Saffron was wonderful with the weather being the only negative. Hoping to come back again when the sun’s out.
