10/10What a beautiful villa, the pictures do not do any justice! After you have blown away by the well-decorated interior and amazing views, you cannot help but realize that its perfection is completed by the team of wonderful staff -> from service to the yummiest food ever! Thank you Lakmal, Chef Janaka, & team for looking after our every need. We loved it here so much and if fate allows it, we will surely be back again.
9.4/10We stayed as a family of 6 for a week and had a great time. The Villa is excellent and the staff even better. Janaka put all of the local restaurants to shame - a truly wonderful cook. We spent a lot of time surfing in Weligama and trips to Galle in the evening, although there are a lot of great restaurants nearby too. One downside is the noise - Road on one side and roaring surf that never stops on the other - nevertheless it would be hard to beat.

10/10Stepping in off the road Royal Indigo Villa is like another world. Welcomed by staff, manager Lakmal, who organized our stay and activities, chef Janaka who had a delicious lunch waiting (and many other great meal), housekeeper Leslie who kept all looking beautiful around the 8 of us including a 16 months old, Ranga who drove us around the district with ease. The house is new, spacious and airy with shutters leting in the breeze & the sound of the waves. The bedrooms are all in separate areas of the house with private verandah and lovely views. We loved the pool and the lawn with the beach just outside the fence.
