"Amazing hotel! Would highly recommend to anyone. Such a boutique private feel with a stunning setting right on the beach. The food at the restaurant for dinner and breakfast was such high quality and some of the best we had in Sri Lanka. The rooms are so stunning and clean, and have everything you need. The service is also incredible from the moment you get there to the moment you leave. Would definitely go back and recommend this hotel to anyone and everyone! "

"Sama is one of those rare places that feels almost sacred. From the moment we arrived, the sense of calm was immediate — the sound of the ocean, the open spaces, and the kindness of everyone on the team made it easy to slow down and just be. Our cottage was beautifully designed, blending perfectly with the natural surroundings. We loved waking up to birdsong and ending each day with a stroll along the quiet beach. The food was a highlight — fresh, nourishing, and full of flavor, prepared with such care by the chef. The Ayurvedic treatments were exceptional. The resident doctor was attentive and insightful, and the therapists clearly knew their craft. I left feeling lighter, calmer, and more grounded than I’ve been in a long time. If you’re looking for peace, authenticity, and a connection to nature — this is it. Sama isn’t flashy or overdone; it’s heartfelt, genuine, and deeply restorative."

"Lovely experience.. hotel a little dated but it had character."
