Villa Hundira

As we were landing later at night, the property contacted us to ask if we wanted to order food before the kitchen closed. This was so thoughtful and when we sat down for dinner, it was wonderful. We had originally booked as it was nearer to the airport and our plan was to stay the night and then move on to our next property the following day. However, they asked if we wanted to go to Monkey Island and do a lagoon tour in the morning. And I am so glad they asked us as it was one of the best trips we did throughout our stay in Sri Lanka; we felt that we had really made the most of our short time there. Beautiful views, our son loved feeding the monkeys and we stopped for a fruit snack sitting on chairs in the middle of the shallowest part of the lagoon. An experience we will never forget. A special mention to Reginald who was a fantastic. The rooms and property were beautiful too.

Amazing stay at this hotel. Travelled with my family (of 5) and we stayed there for 2 nights at the end of our holiday prior to flying out from CMB. We chose this location as it was near to the airport (approximately 35mins by taxi) and we wanted somewhere quiet to wind down after spending 3 weeks travelling across Sri Lanka. The hotel didn't disappoint. Attention to detail, the rooms were super clean, spacious (we had two connected rooms as a family). Wonderful staff always willing to help. Went the extra mile. Big shout out to Reginold from the waiting team. He was excellent took care of all our needs without a fuss and always with a smile. Thank you. Many little pools to choose from to relax and wind down. Before I forget, the little library tucked away in the corner and the super cute bar amazing little touches but adds to the charm of this little gem of a hotel.

What a great end to our holiday! Our plans changed quite last minute and we were able to check in a day early and the staff were so flexible to help us with this. We stayed for 3 nights before our flight home and it was exactly what we needed. Great pool, spa and restaurant and the staff were all great. We felt so welcome and looked after. We didn’t explore Negombo, but it was a great location if you did want to, and also only 25 mins from the airport and organising the taxi was so easy via the hotel. Would highly recommend.

Extremly helpful staff, very friendly and always catering to our special requests. The property is very spacious with 2 pools and lots of old trees. Dining tables are spread out around the property, so you dine in a different location always. All rooms are individually and very tastefully decorated by the owner with local art and tapestry. The enclosed property is very quiet. It is located directly at the lagoon, so you enjoy a fresh breeze all day long.

Beautiful hotel in the old colonial style, hosted by well organised staff with great attention to detail. The two pools are fantastic, the food was superb and the location is both picturesque and convenient for the airport. There is a delightful play hut for children with books and games, a large library and billiards room and a lovely treatment room. There are many different areas to relax in and the whole place has a very personal feel. The staff were discretely attentive and Jay in particular was excellent. He was unbelievably helpful and organised a boat trip on the lagoon to monkey island and assisted with our onward journey around Sri Lanka. We will definitely be back.
