Arhimser Villa

10/10

A luxurious place to relax on the south coast. 9.0Scored 9.0 Clean, well kept, modern premises, under the coconut trees right on the beach and fairly remote with hardly any other tourists about. Nice garden with a sparklingly clean pool right outside the rooms. There's a covered verandah with chairs. Good WiFi too. The beach is deserted except for a few old-style fishermen, you can buy inexpensive, fresh fish from them off the catamaran, which the chef will cook for you. The dining room and lounge are open, colonial style with sea views. The rooms have big sliding glass doors onto the verandah overlooking the sea and are big, with high ceilings and have both fans and aircon. Large, modern bathroom and comfortable beds, giving a wonderful night's sleep. Staff are excellent, polite and willing, the chef has hotel experience and will cook anything you want. We had fresh fruit, toast and coffee for breakfast, delicious, varied curries at lunchtime and grilled fish for dinner. The very helpful manager, Mr Kannan, speaks good English and has a tuktuk, so he can take you to the local shops and liquor store about fifteen minutes away. (Note - the villa does not have a liquor licence and they are therefore prohibited from providing any sort of alcohol) but that's not really a problem as it's available locally.. My wife and I stayed a week and had a wonderful time relaxing and doing nothing but enjoying the villa, the beach and the short walks listening to the multitude of birdsongs behind the hotel, where peacocks roam. Can't think of anything!

Easily the best stay during our two week holiday in Sri Lanka. Everything was perfect. Extremely clean villa, beautifully furnished, excellent staff, fantastic meals and a superb pristine beach right on your doorstep. What more could you ask. Will definitely return and very highly recommended.

We spent 7 nights at the villa and wished we had booked for a longer stay. Ideal as a place to base one self and do day trips to the game parks, bird sanctuaries, and all the other attractions that the Southern Coastline is famous for. The kids enjoyed the day trips and my other friends just chilled out sitting in the pool and walking on the beach and lazing in the sun. The villa was great, very comfortable and the chef produced the best local meals that we had during our holiday. Staff service was brilliant.

Spent a week at the villa in January 2025. Ideal spot for a family holiday. The villa is most comfortable, spotlessly clean and meals tasty and good value for money. The manager and staff were most helpful and went out of their way to ensure all our needs were met. Will definitely recommend.

Could not have picked a better spot to relax. Fantastic location with the beach just metres away from the villa. Beautiful breeze flows through the property with an excellent staff who go out of their way to assist. The meals were delicious and priced very reasonably. Easily the best stay during our visit of two weeks.

Beautiful villa set on a beautiful beach. Arhimser staff were excellent and provided us with the best meals we had on our stay in Sri Lanka. The villa was very clean and the rooms large and airy. The connecting doors between the rooms were ideal for a family with kids. We will on our next visit return to stay at Arhimser.

A jewel discovered on the beachfront of the Southern Province. Magnificent location with beach on your doorstep. The staff were most helpful and the chef prepared some of the best dishes we had during our holiday in Sri Lanka. The views of the beach and sunsets are amazing. The day trips to the game parks and the hill town of Ella were superb. The villa is beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean and comfortable.
