Popular points of interest near the guest house include Hikkaduwa Beach, Hikkaduwa Coral Reef and Hikkaduwa Bus Stand. The nearest airport is Koggala, 30 km from Alvas house, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service.

Susanna and Tusharo (please excuse me if I’m misspelling the names :) were wonderful hosts. Welcoming and informative. It really felt like our own house. Spotless clean, equipped with everything a traveler needs, beautiful nature around, a garden well kept. Another great thing is the hosts really care about animals and Tusharo shared fascinating information about the connection local people share with the sea turtles (we got lucky and swam with them). The beach has some great surf. Would love to come back and stay more.

Boasting an outdoor swimming pool, garden and views of garden, The Ritz Hikkaduwa is situated in Hikkaduwa, 200 metres from Hikkaduwa Beach. There is an in-house restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, a shared kitchen and luggage storage for guests.

A baby safety gate is also available for guests at the guest house.

In February 2024 we (2 adult and 3y.o. kid) had an awesome time staying at The Ritz villa. The host family is super nice and accommodating. They helped us with transfer booking and laundry. Overall the room was super clean and quite modern and they cleaned it and changed bed every 3-4 days and the territory was cleaned several times a day. In the room was everything that could be needed except just small fridge, but I believe it's the matter of time, because as I understood from the reviews last summer there was no pool - which is also great and served us a lot during our stay there. There was just a big fridge in the "lobby" for all the guests to keep their products. There is also small kitchen that guest can use, but we didn't as there are a lot of good and not expensive spots around. Location of the villa is very convenient - just 5 mins to the beach and there is a railway which surprisingly didn't disturb like we expected. If you are in search of cozy, quite, clean and family stay, look no more further!

Weleges Place is a small hotel situated in the famous Hikkaduwa Beach Resort. The popular Hikkaduwa Marine Park where snorkeling among the coral reefs teeming with colorful fish & turtles is just 200 m away from the hotel.

It’s my third time in Sri Lanka. And I wanna say that it’s a very good place to stay. Room was clean, AC works well. Location is close to cafes and stores. Delicious breakfast for affordable price. Owners were so lovely and sweet. I would like to come back next time.

Set within 200 metres of Hikkaduwa Beach and 1.2 km of Narigama beach, 4 Seasons Guesthouse provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Hikkaduwa. The property features garden views and is 2.5 km from Seenigama Beach and 18 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium. There is free private parking and the property offers paid airport shuttle service.

I stayed in a room in the older, single-story guesthouse portion. There are newer rooms in the main house for a slightly higher price. The older rooms are basic but have everything you need, including a small fridge, A/C, small porch and a place to dry clothes - very appropriate for the price. The garden is a miniature Eden - fruit trees everywhere, tons of birdlife including a pair of resident miniature owls, peacocks, small green parrots; and countless fireflies at night. Bodhi, the owners' son, spent a lot of time with me showing me the garden, and even took me snorkeling at the Hikkaduwa reef twice during the 2 days I stayed, for no extra fee. He doesn't always have time to do this, but I was lucky. You can ask him before you arrive whether he'll have time to take you. This is a place where people return to year after year, for months at a time. In the evenings you can join the conversation on the main porch, but there's no pressure to do so. In case it's a deal-breaker for you, please note that the property is adjacent to the railroad. I'm a sensitive sleeper and I was worried about this, but it didn't turn out to be a problem at all. The passing trains are definitely audible, but the entire experience of staying here was so positive that the train sounds simply didn't bother me. One other thing is that the mosquitos love fresh blood, so come prepared with repellent. My only regret about my stay was not spending more time photographing birds in the garden. Thanks so much to Bodhi and parents for the wonderful experience.

    Great Location, Great View from the seaview rooms, Decent free sunbeds on the beach and clean beach towels provided, Breakfast was an added bonus, not western style but they happily made you great toast if you asked. and you had fresh fruit tea coffee juice as well as sri lankan breakfast offerings. Drinks also where slightly cheaper than the surrounding beach bars

    We had the most amazing stay at 4 Seasons guesthouse. Lovely plentiful breakfasts. Great hosts & their son Bodhi went above & beyond to make our 2 day stay in Hikkaduwa so Special. He took us snorkelling with turtles, we went to the Tsunami museum & he even took us to the train station & made sure we were safe on the train for our trip to Bentota. This was all free of charge such a kind caring person. Would highly recommend staying at 4 Seasons guest house. We would definitely stay again when we next visit Hikkaduwa.

    The house was at a lovely quiet end of the beach with a short 10min walk along the beautiful beach to the main surf break and an easy walk to lovely bars and restaurants. The house was great with aircon and very comfy beds. Nuwan was a great host and we would highly recommend his property to others.

    Great location and value for money! The beach is extremely clean in front of the Villa and the Villa itself is quite beautiful. Had a wonderful time staying here. Nirasha, the property owner, helped us with transport from the airport and was a lovely host! The property is 10 mins from Hikkaduwa centre. Tuk tuks are easily available from the main road to the city centre.

    Great location up the quieter side of the beach, next door to the left was a great beachside restaurant the best food by far. The beach was ideal for walking to get the steps in. Nice to get a bike and explore Hikaduwa. Thanks to great hosts they were very attentive.
