Calamansi Cove Villas

We’ve stayed at Calamansi Cove Villas three times already, and every time we leave, we start dreaming about coming back again. It’s truly a place that feels like home — but on vacation. The biggest highlight for us is the exceptional service. The people who work here are incredibly kind and warm. It’s such a joy to return and see familiar faces who not only remember us, but also know and genuinely care about our children. That kind of connection is rare and deeply meaningful. We want to give special thanks to Sujith, Nerodha, Shalini and Jayavira, who have looked after us and our children every single time we’ve visited. Their care and attention make all the difference, and we are so grateful for their presence. This is a perfect place for curious little explorers — our kids loved collecting coconuts, spotting iguanas and monkeys, watching hermit crabs, searching for shells, and exploring the plants and flowers. The surroundings are simply beautiful: peaceful, private, and just steps away from a quiet beach. We’re already planning our next trip with the whole family, even if it means traveling for 24 hours with two kids — it’s always worth it for the rest, nature, and warmth we experience at Calamansi Cove. Also, a special shoutout to Asela for the unforgettable massage — truly a highlight of the stay! This place has a piece of our hearts. We’ve traveled a lot, but Calamansi Cove Villas is one of those rare gems we always want to return to.

This location is a slice of paradise, the villa was lovely, with a private area to relax in, pity about the mossies. Just yards from a beautiful, almost deserted beach, at times it felt like we were the only visitors there. The staff were first rate,nothing was too much trouble, a mention for, Nirodha,lovely lady who became a friend, Wacella,in the restaurant, the life guards, and Preantha, whom we met on the beach and became our tuk tuk driver, even inviting us for a meal with his family, loved you all, hope to return in a couple of years, met the owner, please don't make too many changes, it is perfect.

Fabulous place to stay rooms exceptional with both indoor and outdoor door shower also a private garden and seating area attached to the room Staff very attentive and welcoming nothing was too much trouble Swimming pool clean and then the beach on the other side of pool a 1 minute walk away lovely secluded beach cove Restaurant serving beautifully presented food and great cocktails Really peaceful great for a relaxing few days River safaris available and temples and tsunami museum worth visiting nearby

The property is away from crowded areas, near a village, about a kilometer from the main road. We stayed here for only one day/night and it was raining most of the time. We had our own car, hence it was convenient to go out otherwise we would be stuck here because of the rain. Our garden villa(named Rambutan) was nice and spacious. It is set in a tropical forest with a huge outdoor area and rooftop terrace. But mosquitoes wouldn't let us sit outside. The problem with our villa was that other guests could look into our room when they were passing by. So we had to keep the curtains down. I wouldn't recommend this villa. The food at the restaurant was alright but expensive. The service was pretty slow. For dinner, one has to confirm hours before and for breakfast one has to order the night before. The pool was good and the beach was excellent. There is a fishing village right next door. Pretty idyllic! If you want privacy then don't take the villa named Rambutan.

We had the Calamansi Suite. It was the best room in the house, possibly one of the best hotel rooms in Sri lanka. It was simply enormous, with terraces overlooking the pool and towards the sea. The beach is lovely and empty and linked with two other large beaches, great for swimming. Nice pool too. Friendly staff, especially lifeguard and good food. Would definitely stay again.

Peaceful & relaxing with a beautiful beach & safe swimming. The Garden Villas were delightful & the staff genuinely friendly with good service standards. There is a lifeguard on duty who is both informative about sea conditions & the wildlife around. The birdlife is stunning. Only one small quibble in that the inner pool area could do with a bit of a clean.Other than that all good & would certainly recommend.
