The staff were beyond wonderful and we felt relaxed and "at home" in the environment. I had not experienced a boutique hotel yet in my travels and after staying at the Sandhya, a boutique hotel would be my first choice. The intimate, relaxed environment was a nice change from the typical large resort. The hotel's design, décor and attention to detail were exceptional, sort of a modern minimalist environment, yet with everything you need. And, you cant beat waking up with full ocean views right out your patio! Wonderful resort, would absolutely recommend and would definitely visit again! ##### Shelly Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stuart May 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Best hotel I've stayed in period. The photos do not do the Sandhya justice. If you're looking for a quiet beach resort like experience with exceptional service, this is the place. Due to the lower number of rooms compared to other resorts on the coastline, it's much more quiet allowing you ample time to relax and recharge. The staff at the Sandhya have created a seamless relaxation experience for city goers like myself to tune out completely. With gentle waves basically at your doorstep and amazing food & drink menu, I couldn't recommend staying here enough. Definitely on my list to revisit in the future, ##### Stuart Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maj Nov 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We absolutely loved our stay at the Sandhya and it is definitely a place we want and long to come back to. The design is very Scandinavian and we like the colors, materials and vibe that brings along. The breakfast is good, the service is good, they make very nice dinner and cocktails too! The view of the ocean is breathtaking from all rooms. This is a place we're there is attention to ALL little details. Such as cushions on the sunbeds, fresh beach towels, your room is made twice a day, water in your room and all the staff we met were so nice. I love it! ##### Maj Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frances Nov 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Let's just say, I will definitely return. Clean, design like, minimal hotel. Private access to one of the best beaches in the South. Staff are friendly and the place feels homely. Easy access to local beach bars, restaurants, the train station, etc. Walk, tuk tuk, book a car via the hotel. If you are looking to relax on a quiet elegant property, solo or with partner, take it day by day, with amazing views, I recommend the Sandhya. Thank you.

Clean, design like, minimal hotel. Private access to one of the best beaches in the South. Staff are friendly and the place feels homely. Easy access to local beach bars, restaurants, the train station, etc. Walk, tuk tuk, book a car via the hotel. If you are looking to relax on a quiet elegant property, solo or with partner, take it day by day, with amazing views, I recommend the Sandhya. Thank you.

The photos of Sandhya looked amazing (note - somehow better in real life) so I booked 7 nights. I was not expecting the simplicity and luxury I found and, with the small number of rooms, equal parts private and communal. I describe this as a modern guesthouse, coupled with barefoot luxury overlooking a pristine surf beach in the Southern District. Dan and his team do a great job making everyone comfortable, well fed and hydrated! The menu is tight but considered, and enough to keep me interested for the duration of my stay. There are a couple of good local places within a few minutes walk if you so wish. By good fortune I met the owner as he passed through on a visit. I always enjoy meeting the person behind the property, and Alan was a pleasure. Will I be back? Absolutely. The sheer easiness of all this space offers makes it a no-brainer. ##### Spence Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Therese Apr 26, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing architecture, design and location! We stayed 3 nights at The amazing Sandhya, and we absolutely loved it! Great architecture and designer furnitures. The staff where very nice and service minded. The food was good and the atmosphere quite and very comfortable. We immediately felt like “home” here. Would absolutely recommend this hotel if you appreciate great architecture, design, and would love a good spot at the beach :) ##### Therese Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Shahid Mar 27, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The property was all good except the fact that the common areas didn’t have any fan or AC coverage and it was super hot to sit in any of those areas. There was no phones or any communication channel to call the helper staff from the room and you were expected to go around the property looking for a staff. ##### Shahid Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DUONG Mar 18, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best place in Ahangama! This is the best place in Ahangama! We had such a beautiful relaxing time. The room, the breakfast (until 12.oooh available!) staff and the direct beach access... everything was fantastic. There are several restaurants in waking distance. Home away from home. ##### DUONG Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hanne-Mari Feb 17, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Such a lovely stay in this charming boutique hotel!

From the moment I arrived, I fell in love with this property and the beach. Everything is done so thoughtfully at The Sandhya—from the awesome service and interior design to the location, and delicious food. The beach is super chill and has a really nice laid-back vibe—the road wasn't an issue at all and the beach is great for walking, swimming, and surfing. My room (#3) was awesome - the view is incredible, it's spotless and the bed and linens are very comfortable. Water is provided and turn-down service is offered each evening. The staff really goes above and beyond while you are staying there and since it's a boutique hotel you really feel like you're being taken care of. I had booked 4 nights in Weligama afterward but cut the stay short to return to The Sandhya! Upon my return, the staff made me an amazing Sri Lankan dinner and when I checked out they gave me a Christmas gift! Super sweet! Breakfast was included in my stay and it was awesome: fruit juice, fresh fruit, toast + jam, and your choice of breakfast with coffee/tea. I also ate dinner there several times and the food was always delicious, well-presented and the service was impeccable! I can't wait to return to The Sandhya and highly recommend it! ##### Meaghan Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nastja, Dublin Sep 12, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful hotel by the ocean Enjoyed everything in lovely "The Sandhya" hotel & would absolutely recommend! ##### Nastja Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fred, Abu Dhabi Aug 14, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Property, management, food, service and location all seamlessly working in harmony at this hotel.
