The Sandhya

Casual Luxe 9-room beachfront boutique hotel perched right on the white sands of Kabalana Surf Beach offering stunning sunset views over the Indian Ocean,

Flawless take on scandonavian design in the centre of Sri Lanka's finest stretch of beach

Reviewed By Schambers83

Delighted from the moment we arrived. An elegant, charming and functional space that does its job in framing the stunning beach front view. Proof that boutique brutalism can work (if done right) even in the middle of the jungle. The entire team are trained far above the level of service typically experienced in Southern Sri Lanka. A great menu, wonderful coffee and breakfast bar. One of the best spots for an evening cocktail as the Sandhya has put together a unique list of original cocktails, curated with natural local ingredients in mind. The Sandhya is a peaceful, and stylish get away that will have you wanting to extend.

For parents who want some good R&R I would highly recommend. The kids center is fully equipped with modern activities and trained staff to take care of your toddler's. My four year old had the best getaway. Plenty of safe outdoor play time activities too. Separate toilet's, pool table for adults, huge flat screen tvs, story books, puzzles, trampoline and ball pit with much more. Loved the three pools, the bars and service from staff, cleanly, they fumigate daily so lovely not to have flies or mosquitos. Good variety of food too

We stayed for two nights last month as our honeymoon stay and it was such a wonderful experience. The buttler system they use helps to keep things familier. Our buttler Mr. Malith was very informative and helpful in every aspect. The food was fantastic and fresh everytime and we recommend that you opt for a full board stay if you're not planning to go out. Overall the stay was perfect in all aspects. Will definitely re-visit when we get the chance.
