Sielen Diva

What can I say but, ‘Simply Exceptional’, from the moment the gates to the drive open you realise you have arrived somewhere special. There is a certain serenity that embraces you as you walk down the entrance hall and in to the spacious and perfectly presented lounge and dining area which looks out across your private pool and down to the beach beyond the gardens. No traffic noise, just nature and the sound of the waves washing across the rocks and on to the beach. Everything is special here, the location, the villa, the friendly attentive staff dedicated to your every need, the quality and maintenance of everything, the attention to detail, the food, bedrooms and bathrooms are all wonderful. The villa boasts 7 bedrooms, 4 to the upper floor, 1 to the ground floor and 2 to the garden area, all are very spacious with comfortable beds and ample hanging and storage, all have large en-suite bathrooms with walk in showers and all but the ground floor have a large bath. The beds are comfortable, all have tv’s with access to Netflix etc. and there is ample hot water, towels and other bathroom essentials. The happy and smiling staff are always on hand to provide you the ultimate service and the 2 personal chefs create outstanding food to complement the array of cocktails and soft drinks that freely flow. We were a group of 6 couples visiting for 3 nights and they happily prepared a delicious and off menu BBQ for us on our first evening. Always important to mention the things that others might see as a negative so, the beach is beautiful but not for swimming, it’s too rough and rocky, that said , if you walk 5 minutes down the beach you’ll find turtle bay where we swam with turtles. The wine list is ok but is limited, nevertheless, much better than any other we experienced on our 2 week journey across Sri Lanka (if you’ve been here before you will understand that wine is not really the thing in Sri Lanka), so if you’re a wine connoisseur please don’t be disappointed, we all love our wine and made do with a Zin, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. In summary, if you’re looking for the ultimate chill-out villa in Sri Lanka this is the place, especially if you are a group or family that wants the place to yourselves, you will not get better!

The property is beautifully tucked along a quiet stretch of beach, offering sweeping ocean views and a peaceful atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. Our room was spacious, tastefully designed, and clean. Meals were great, especially the local cuisine. The pool quickly became our favourite spot to relax with a book. Overall, Sielen Diva offered the perfect balance of luxury and comfort. We'll definitely be back!

We have spent there 1 week. Tho hotel was amazing with kind, smiley, helpfull people! Outstanding location on the beach, magnificient view to the ocean. The kitchen was the best I have ever tasted. Supreme quality. I recommend it to everyone who is looking for a high-quality place to relax.

In every way a fantastic small hotel. Everything stands for top score; the staff, the food, the room, the location, the view, the service, the friendliness and the atmosphere. So calm and comforting that it was almost difficult to get out and do other things in the local area. Highly recommended!
