Great place by the sea. You feel relaxed the minute you enter it. Excellent food served by personal butlers. Chaturi the manager was very helpful. Renovated after tsunami. Good place to relax with children. More

This is a beautiful property, the gardens the pool and the property itself just "class design". It is very well located for good local beaches and also for Galle town. The food and service are very good. The rooms are lovely and really well laid out - all have outside space. We had suites 1 and 2 of the Cinnamon... More

Set on a picturesque beach, the location of the property is ideal for a few days of relaxation by the ocean. The villas are lovely, minimalistically decorated. My only problem with the design was the fact that the toilet in our bathroom was inside the shower, meaning that if we wanted to use it after taking a shower we would... More

We stayed at AV at the end of a 4 hotel tour of Sri Lanka, staying at the very best hotels on the island. The other 3 had all been simply amazing so we had high expectaions of AV. The location is excellent - right on a small but beautiful beach with the famous stilt fishemen right outside. The villa... More

The only set back for a beach lover it wasn't a functional beach. You couldn't swim there as it was rocky,windy and messy surf. More

We spent 2 nights at Apa Villa recently. The resort is absolutely fantastic in every way - service, rooms, views, location...we could not have asked for more. One thing to keep in mind is that you cannot actually swim in the sea as there are reefs. The pool more than makes up however. Ms Chathuri is the resort manager and... More

We started our Sri Lanka adventure with a visit to Galle and decided to splurge a little on a nice beachside hotel. We found Apa Villa on the internet and thought we'd give it a try. From the moment we arrived, we knew we'd made the right choice! The villa we stayed in is really nice and comfortable. The bedroom... More

Just spent 10 days at Apa Villa Thalpe with my wife, 3 year old daughter and parents and had a truly luxurious and relaxing time. The hotel has an amazing location on the beach, which provides beautiful views of white sand and palm trees and the relaxing sounds of the waves crashing against the shore.The grounds are also stunning, with...
