Really lovely property in the quieter and more upmarket end of Hikkaduwa. Fantastically friendly staff, a beautiful pool and modern, well maintained rooms. Dining options were top notch and surprisingly affordable for a 5 star hotel. Would definitely recommend.

Hidden Gem
So happy to have found this boutique hotel for the last day in Srilanka. The sushi restaurant had no digital menu on their IG account and had a very long wait time for orders but presuming that's because it was very quiet not many guests... Aside from that, beautiful experience in Hikkaduwa!

We loved it and went back.
This was our second stay on our trip in Sri Lanka as we enjoyed the hotel so much the first time. Lovely comfortable rooms. The hotel staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. We dined in both restaurants and the food was excellent in each one. The rooftop bar has a really nice vibe to enjoy the stunning sunsets/cocktails. Would totally recommend if in this area.

The Riff is fabulous as are facilities and particularly the staff were all excellent. Raymond runs a tight ship. When you are in the hotel you could be in any fabulous beach location however once you step outside the door you remember you are in a third world country.

Wonderful!!!
Just wonderful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Beautifully designed hotel, rooms were so stylish. We kindly got upgraded with our hotels.com points and the room was stunning. The staff were all so friendly and made you feel very welcome. Food was good. Rooftop bar is a little gem to enjoy with live music while we ate from the Japanese restaurant menu. A lot of love and thought has gone in to this hotel and wish we could have stayed longer but it was fully booked. 100% recommend if in this area. Only improvement would be to have more parasols for the sun loungers as the sun is so strong.

Super Hotel mit klasse Aussicht, traumhaftem Strand und leckerer Essensauswahl. Das Sushi Restaurant auf dem Dach hat uns gut gefallen. Der Service könnte nach unserem Geschmack für ein 5 Sterne Hotel etwas aufmerksamer und engagierter sein. Ansonsten alles super :)

one of our favorites!
Beautiful hotel on the quiet side of Hikkaduwa. Great place to enjoy the beach without the packed in feeling of the center of Hikkaduwa. Gorgeous pool and rooftop and the food is fantastic. Staff is friendly and helpful. Only negative was construction going on right next door. Our room was just on the other side of the wall from it so it was loud at times. Never at night however. All in all, an excellent choice for Hikkaduwa beach!
