Sri Sharavi Beach Villas & Spa - with 43 Metre Saltwater Infinity Pool

We booked this resort after seeing it on several websites and thought it would be a perfect location. The ocean front location and beach looked fantastic. Through our travel agent we booked an Ocean deluxe suite that was not cheap ( probably £350/ 400 per night) we thought opening the doors in the morning and walking out onto the ocean facing balcony would be fantastic. When we checked in we were shown to our suite, it was a fantastic room with vaulted ceiling and a full length wall of glass looking out to a rooftop garden and a small set of doors with a view of the ocean between 2 buildings. When we checked with Kenny the manager to make sure we had the correct room it was , a deluxe suite has a partial sea view. ( my fault I should have double checked before booking) Still shell shocked from that and after unpacking we decided to go down to the beach and have a drink and relax. We got to the bar ordered a drink and then walked to the beach and almost fell off the 12 foot high retaining wall and onto the rocks where the beach used to be. THE BEACH HAS GONE, washed away, thousands of tonnes of sand has gone. When I asked Kenny about the beach he shrugged his shoulders and said it used to be there but had been washed away but hopefully it will be washed back again, I said he needs an engineering project like the Jumeirah Palm to get the beach back. We stayed here for 7 days, all the staff are great and very helpful. The 45 metre infinity pool was beautiful. The suite we had was lovely. I could not fault the hotel nor its staff except that it is vastly overpriced ( + they add 10% service 18% VAT& 2.5% ) 30.5% to every thing, but to sell yourself as a beach resort you really do need to have a beach

Sri Sharavi Beach Villas and Spa was the perfect resort to spend our last night and final full day in Sr Lanka. The welcome on arrival was warm and we were grateful for the cool towel and refreshing drink. Our villa was spacious and beautifully appointed and the view spectacular. We especially enjoyed the sound of the waves coming into shore. We dined on the balcony of our villa and appreciated a delicious dinner. The wait staff were friendly and attentive and looked after us brilliantly. Lounging by the pool was relaxing, and again the service was excellent. We had an early start for whale watching and the resort kindly prepared a packed breakfast for us to take along. Our stay here captured the beauty of Sri Lanka and the friendliness of the Sri Lankan people.

If you’re looking for pure relaxation in paradise, complete with the biggest pool, you’ve found the perfect spot. Kenny and his team went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. The staff were incredibly attentive, making us feel like friends rather than guests. From amazing food and cocktails to a stunning villa, this place truly has it all. One highlight was the best massage we’ve ever had in Sri Lanka – Kumara’s expertise is unmatched! A heartfelt thank you to Madha Gaean, Dimrhu, Surgha, and the fantastic pool attendant (apologies for not knowing how to spell your name) who ensured we always had fresh towels on our sunbeds every day. While it’s not a budget destination, if you’re after something truly special and a holiday of a lifetime, this is the place to be.
