We stayed here for six nights as part of a tour of Sri Lanka and it was without doubt the highlight of our trip. The hotel is in a truly stunning setting - looking along the length of on an unspoilt stretch of pristine beach where fisherman still haul nets each morning. The staff are extremely welcoming and could not... More

Turtle Bay was the most idyllic spot to hold our first Sri Lanka Yoga and Ayurveidc retreat, thank you Sujeewa and all the Turtle Bay's staff for looking after us so warmly and providing us with such a beautiful space to host our 8 day, 7 night retreat, all 14 guests will be returning.

My husband and I enjoyed 10 days at the Turtle Bay in March as part of a return visit to Sri Lanka. We booked all our accomodation through Red Dot Tours and their customer service was faultless. We chose Turtle Bay in view of its location, plus being off the normal tourist route; the absence of commercialisim in the area;... More

This hotel simply didn't offer the value for money and experience the price demands. It was seriously let down by the poor English offered by staff when the manager (Udith) was not available.

I travelled the entire country staying at very nice boutique hotels along the way (Colombo, Sigiriya, Galle Fort, etc.),... More

Turtle Bay My family and I just returned from our first trip to Sri Lanka. In total we spend 11 days there and we stayed four nights in beautiful Turtle Bay. The hotel‘s location is something out of the movies. All rooms offer a stunning view over miles of deserted pristine beaches, without another hotel in site. Everywhere you walk... More

We booked Turtle Bay almost a year in advance and were occasionally contacting the hotel for advice on trip arrangements, so by the time we arrived everyone of the staff were... More
