Take of two stays.

We stayed 3 nights in the Muhuda Bella Villa and 2 in the main villa in the room called Alaya. The small villa is a bit tired and I feel as it's the furthest room from the main building it almost forgotten. But the main Villa is great the room we stayed in there was brilliant. The staff are really friendly and efficient. The food was great. The spa treatments we had were great. The wifi in the small villa was pretty much nonexistent. But the main villa it was fine. Beer is hard to come by which I couldn't understand why, as the hotel is full, they didn't have a huge stock of beer on hand. So a couple nights we could have more than 2 beers! So we went out and bought some, a 10mins tuktuk ride. Overall a good place but don't stay in the Muhuda Bella Villa.

Pristine, sublime, wonderful. The list goes on!

My partner and I concluded ten days of travel around Sri Lanka at Eraeliya Villas and Gardens and we were blown away. The property is pristine, the gardens are spectacular and the villas and pools equally as beautiful. We stayed in the Ocean loft, a modern, airy and spacious loft with modern industrial decor with a Sri Lankan twist, it was nothing short of brilliant. The pool is sublime and looks out over a beautiful stretch of the Indian Ocean, with a private beach behind there’s no shortage of space to lounge and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Eraeliya’s staff go above and beyond to ensure your stay is comfortable and nothing short of perfect, their attentiveness and willingness to aid in anyway they can made this stay truly special. To top it off the food is great and there are plenty of options. The breakfast was particularly amazing and was something we looked forward to every day. The hotel is situated just outside of Weligama, it is a 15 minute tuktuk ride to the popular towns of Mirissa or Ahangama, where there is plenty to do of an evening if you wish to leave the property. But if you wish to stay you can also make use of the spectacular spa service to take your relaxation to the next level. Eraeliya and its staff have a special place in our heart after our short stay and we will without a doubt be returning.

Das Highlight des Hotels war das Personal. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und ausreichend. Aber für den Preis gab’s es zu wenig Auswahl. Der Pool und die Lage direkt am Meer sind ein Traum. Es waren alle sehr bemüht, dass wir uns wohl fühlen, es wurde auch ein Meet-Greet veranstaltet. Essen und Trinken ist relativ teuer, da noch 10% Service Charge und 31% Steuern hinzugefügt werden. Für ein 5-Sterne hatten die Handtücher leider immer wieder Flecken. Das WLAN war sehr schlecht und wir hatten des Öfteren nur sehr geringen Wasserdruck im Bad. Das Garden Loft ist für den Preis leider etwas klein. Dennoch würden wir das Hotel aber weiter empfehlen, da es auch Bemühungen mit neuen Projekten gibt, das Hotel für die Gäste interessanter zu gestalten (Wine Bistro, Outdoor-Gym).

Något utöver det vanliga

Lyxigt boende med fantastisk service. Boendet känns unikt i sitt slag, inredningen är genomtänkt in i minsta detalj. Det enda riktigt negativa som går att säga är att det saknas bra badmöjligjeter. Lite stenig botten och väldigt djupt snabbt.

L’hôtel est très agréable et la grande chambre au premier étage du bâtiment principal est magnifique avec belle vue sur la mer. En revanche l’hôtel est isolé sans restaurant extérieur accessible à pied pour dîner. L’hôtelier profite de cette situation pour pratiquer des prix insensés sur la nourriture et les boissons (18$ un plat de pâtes). Les prix ont d’ailleurs presque doublés en un an! Les pâtes passant de 1800 roupies (8€) à 18$. C’est dommage et cela gâche un peu le séjour. Nous n’y avons pas dîner. Le mieux est de louer un scooter à Weligama chez Sunmith pour visiter les environs (Galle et Handunugoda Tea Factory) et pour aller dîner, ce que nous avons fait sans problème.

美中不足

飯店靠近海邊,是獨棟villa.每一間房間有不同的特色,房間很大景色很美,,缺點就是燈光不足太暗了.而且我們住的那間冷氣遙控還壞掉.沒辦法調溫度.因為離海灘非常近,所以沙灘上有人開pa放音樂就聽得很清楚因此如果怕吵得建議不要選擇離飯店太近的房間

Perfect place to unwind.

Eraeliya is a truly boutique hotel. It was our last stop of a busy 5 week trip and the perfect place to unwind. Everything about the place exceeded our expectations, exuding quality and tasteful design. The owner (Anna) and staff (Julia, Jerome and...) are to be commended for their attention to detail. Expect to hear "yes" and "of course" often. Meals are prepared to order and served on one's own patio. Breakfast is extensive and the dinner choice is ample, delicious and reasonably priced. Alcohol is not served but is allowed, so guests can stock the minibar from the local wine store. Tick! Eraeliya is a short tuk tuk from town and other restaurants (try Akila's). We shared the gardens and trees with monkeys, iguanas and squirrels and went to sleep to the sound of rolling ocean waves. We WILL return.

Wonderful and relaxing villas

Wonderful relaxing stay. The Villas were incredibly decorated, and the entire grounds were beautiful. All the staff were so lovely and went the extra mile for any small request. The food was delicious - a short and sweet menu but each dish was fantastic. The breakfast spread was absolutely fantastic!! A perfect spot to relax and unwind, and only a few mins tuk tuk to Weligama Town, or about 10-15mins tuk tuk to Mirissa Beach.

The villas are beautiful, scenery is stunning and staff were super polite and did everything they could to make us comfortable. Lovely, lovely place, very peaceful. Food was lovely and very reasonably priced compared to the other (high end) hotels we stayed in in Sri Lanka, we had two dinners and one breakfast and everything was great. They do special dinners too - catch of the day and a lobster dinner which we didn't get chance to try but that looked good!

Fantastiskt hotell. Låg service.

Fantastiskt läge med mycket fin pool och privat strand. Mycket fint hotell med härlig känsla och hög standard. Magisk utsikt! Mycket bra frukost. Dålig service bland icke-srilankesik personal. Dåligt mottagande vid incheckning, nonchalant personal. Ingen pool service, fick konstant leta efter personal för handdukar, dryck, mat. Restaurang stänger kl 16!!! Framgick inte vid bokning eller på hemsidan.
