Casa Smeralda

"Such a lovely hotel located right on the beach, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to be slightly outside of Hiriketiya. Due to its location it is very quiet and peaceful. There are sun loungers on the beach as well as by the pool. It is super easy to get into the main town by tuktuk or a 30 minute walk. The staff are lovely and so attentive if you need a bite to eat I would recommend their pizza which are delicious. We loved our stay here and would 100% come back! "

"Such a lovely hotel, situated on a quiet, beautiful beach. All staff here and at the sister hotel a short walk away were amazing, with a special mention to Rosin and Nedmina (sorry I couldn’t quite remember your full name!) We loved being able to swim in the sea just outside and walking along the beach. A great, comfortable base for exploring the South Coast. Lovely food too-eating on the beach was a real treat!"

"Nice and comfy room. Beautiful garden with many beautiful birds and other wildlife. Close to the beach. Plus is for the distance to Galle Road (which is very noisy). The dinner was good, but far from great. The curry’s are way to salty. Same as for the breakfast (don’t try the chocolate pancakes). Beautiful place and very friendly staff. - Big minus for the hotels own landfill that you see if you take a walk outside the fences. They should really clean that up. Not ok! "

Talalla Retreat

4.6 km from Maaliyadda Beach

"Loved the stunning location on a very quiet beach (it is quite isolated though). Facilities were great- pilates, yoga, spa, pool. Staff were so friendly. I stayed a week and felt very safe and comfortable. Only 4 stars because I think it was quite expensive for 3 star accomodation plus activities and food on top. The food wasn't great but luckily there are really good restaurants nearby. I was expecting more of a relaxing retreat atmosphere but there were a lot of young children screaming and...

Top Maaliyadda Beach Hotel Reviews

Ivory Resort Dikwella

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely amazing stay - staff went above and beyond for everything and we couldn’t have asked for more. The hotel is also in the perfect location, away from the chaos of Hiriketiya but within easy walking distance."

Talalla Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"I had a first floor room which is semi open and well equiped with mosquito nets, fan etc. to keep bugs away in this open setup. Enjoyed being so close to nature, waking up to birdsongs. The ground floor rooms are closed if you dont like thr thought of an open room. Accomodation is on the beach and stretches approx 1.2km and I enjoyed sunrise (over sea) and sunset walks. Swimming pool is great for laps. The spa treatments and therapists were devine, reformer pilates are offered at extra cost with studio half glassed with lovely view of beach and gardens. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Loved my stay, would highly recommend if wanting a place to relax and recharge, with friendly & helpful staff:)"
