Villa Mawella

10/10

Such a great location, close to Tangalle. Big, green property that makes you feel relaxed. You can always find a nice spot to enjoy the shade in hot day, listening sooting sound of waves. Lounge area being one of them. Beautiful pool and vicinity of the beach gives you the choice to enjoy your swim. Room was spacious and inviting, with the big and comfortable bed and nice terrace to enter the garden. A la carte breakfast was amazing, with variety of local and international choices. Compliments to the chef. We had the issue with our shower, but Oshan and his team sorted it out immediately. The only thing we regret is not staying here longer, due to our previously arranged plans, but we are looking forward to our next trip to Sri Lanka to enjoy Taru villas once again.

We spent 3 nights here. Our first stay in a Taru property. Peaceful setting. Property is well maintained, rooms are comfortable and spacious. Direct access to a quiet and beautiful beach. Staff were very helpful, courteous and friendly. We had all our meals at the Villa except for one night.....delicious meals! Meals could be had either outside our room or at the main dining table....both were perfect setting. Massages were organized from outside and were brilliant! All in all a wonderful stay and we left completely relaxed and rested.

We stayed there with our kids for the last 5 nights of our trip to Sri Lanka. Very relaxing atmosphere, great service and the good is delicious. Not so many things to do in the area, but the beach is beautiful and they have body boards to use for free. Ideal if you're looking for a quiet place with excellent service. We stayed at the pool house and felt like in a private villa. You even have a little bell to ring when you're hungry or thirsty;-)

We stayed at Taru Villas - Mawella in mid-September for two nights. We noticed a one or two less than complementary reviews on here and honestly we could not disagree more. From the moment we were welcomed at the gates by the manager and his team we knew we made the right choice. What a lovely place to spend a couple of days relaxing after a busy week of touring Sri Lanka. The stay and villa was perfect. We loved the location - right on Mawella beach which could have been out of a picture postcard. We quickly settled in to holiday mode. A quick snooze under the garden hammock, lazing by the pool and catching up on well needed sleep. Our bed and room was so comfortable it was difficult to get up on a few occasions. Luckily the staff told us there was no set time for breakfast! From teatime treats to lighting candles in the room at turndown, it was the little touches that made our stay so special. A mention must go to the food. The homemade banana granola at breakfast is highly recommended as are the cocktails! We would recommend Mawella in a heartbeat. We'll be back!
