My Review of Ranna Beach House, Sri Lanka We were lucky enough to spend a few days at Ranna Beach House, and it truly felt like a slice of paradise. 🏡 Location & Accommodation The house is located directly on a secluded, palm-lined beach – quiet, peaceful, and simply stunning. The sound of the ocean, the sunsets, and the feeling of privacy made it a perfect retreat. The villa itself is tastefully decorated, very clean, and well-equipped. We especially loved the spacious terrace and the private pool overlooking the sea. 👨‍🍳 Staff & Service One of the true highlights was the warm and attentive house staff. The chef prepared delicious, fresh meals every day – tailored to our preferences ( child-friendly, mild spice). What truly stood out was how patiently and kindly they responded to all our wishes – nothing was ever too much. Whether it was adjusting meals, helping with laundry, or arranging excursions, they handled everything with care and calmness. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Perfect for Families We traveled with three children and felt completely at home. The pool was clean and safe, there was plenty of space to play and relax, and the beach was perfect for exploring and watching the fishermen. The kids especially loved the animals nearby and the quiet natural setting. 🌴 Surroundings & Activities From the house, we took some wonderful excursions – to a lagoon, a turtle beach, and even a safari. The driver recommended by the house was reliable, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the area. 💬 Our Conclusion Ranna Beach House is a perfect place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy true hospitality. If you’re looking for peace, beauty, and personalized care, this is the place. We would mabsolutely return – a strong recommendation!

We enjoyed our stay at Kingfish villa in the month of March 2025. It was a very pleasant time. An optimal location to relax and experience the beautiful beach of Ranna at a distance of ca. 300 m. The owner Raveen is also an amazing person. He is very helpful and knows around Ranna, southern locations of SL and even other locations at wish. Also, there is the possibility to have him as a tour guide. He owns a restaurant as well where the food is exquisite. One can choose a variety of local foods and drinks too. Overall, remarkably good experience.

Our three days at fishermen’s lodge were super special, we felt so welcome and included in their family. The food in the restaurant was really amazing, the host is a great cook, we loved especially her rice and curry and the grilled fish. The traditional breakfast was also really good! The room was really simple, but still very clean and the host was always ready to help us in any way. You just walk a few steps to the beautiful beach which is nearly empty! In the morning the host took us fishing one time, which was the most special and fun experience! Overall we really recommend coming here for an authentic and local experience with extraordinary people! Thank you for everything! We might come back one time :)

A quiet upmarket haven. Boutique as there are only 17 rooms, all with patios or balconies. The pool is as warm as the sea and a few steps apart. The food was great, excellent service, and we spent much time on the lounges reading. I took early morning walks on the endless beach.... with nothing on it besides a local restaurant nearby and some fishermen. A perfect place for some downtime between traveling all round sri lanka. Was worth the extra cash.

What an absolute pearl of a place. I only planned to stay the night but immediately extended four days. The staff is maybe the best I’ve ever encountered and you feel so taken care of. The rooms are beautifully designed and the perfect fit for us Europeans. I will definitely come back and although I would love to have this place for myself, I urge everyone to stay here. 11/10!!

We had beautiful stay at this amazing place. Personal was always here and helpful, arranged for us tuktuk and bird watching tour. The room was amazing, clean, spacious, comfortable, we were upgraded for free. Ever day nice breakfast- different options available. Long Beach with palms and minimum people. If you get behind the waves, you can swim there. But best for long walks. Few beach restaurants nearby with fresh fish. Calm and peaceful, ideal if you want to get away from the crowds and just spend time with the sea and yourself.

Sri Lanka has amazing hotels and homestays but THIS is a once in a lifetime experience! And Im not only talking about the room itself which is made with so much love! But lets start with the Hobbit House....you can find only 2 of them in a lush tropical garden separated in a way that you wont even notice the other one.The house is handmade but with so much details it is truly incredible.Amazing bed, huge bathroom and just this uncomparable feeling! However there is something else that completely caught our heart and soul. The host Hirushan. Such a heartwarming and caring person who comes with the bonus that his mum cooks the most incredible food! The beach is just minutes away and it is stunning! Complete calm and serenity and turtles laying their eggs at night! Igabara is a MUST GO whenever you are in Tangalle!!!

We loved the serenity, and being away from it all but there...

We loved the serenity, and being away from it all but there aren’t many other options to eat out. We tried the ‘mothership’ but our chef was far superior and as long as you tell him what you would like to eat, he will shop for you and cook very delicious food.
