Book Morakatiyara hotels

We had an absolutely amazing stay. As someone who regularly stays at Relais & Châteaux properties, I can confidently say the level of service here truly matches that standard. From the moment we arrived, the staff were exceptional—warm, attentive, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Their genuine hospitality made a lasting impression. The food was consistently delicious, with a great variety and quality, even though we also took the opportunity to explore a few dining spots around Hiriketiya. Still, meals at the property were among our favorites. The grounds themselves are beautifully maintained, featuring lush tropical gardens, mature trees, and vibrant plants that create a peaceful, secluded atmosphere. In the evenings, the candlelight ambiance adds something really special. Staying in an ocean-facing room was a highlight—you can hear the waves at night, which makes for a deeply relaxing experience. The property also felt very safe, and we loved seeing monkeys and peacocks wandering around the grounds. Even though we visited during the low season, everything exceeded expectations. We first stayed in a sea-view bedroom and later upgraded to a Master Bedroom with a plunge pool, which made the experience even more memorable. With upcoming renovations and a spa in the works, we would absolutely love to return. An extraordinary stay from start to finish.

Fabulous location right on the beach and not too far to travel into town. Clean and comfortable rooms and staff helpful and friendly. Would happily stay again next time!

great location, rooms basic but clean, no fridge, friendly staff and nice pool

Had a great stay that definitely met our expectations. Room was beautiful and comfortable with much needed AC. Perfect, relaxing location with a beautiful pool and beach. The hotel has a newer chef who has upgraded the food which we enjoyed so much we didn’t feel the need to schlep into the busy town. Would definitely stay here again if we ever make our way back to Sri Lanka one day. The hotel also provides but they seem to be around especially if one is sensitive. Also special mention to the owner who is super friendly and hands-on enduring that the guests’ needs are being met. Thank you!

Room was very basic for the cost

This hotel has an amazing spot on the beach. The only drawback was the lack of a view from our room. The room was large and comfortable and the staff were delightful. Despite the lack of light/view in the room it does offer a number of beach facing seating areas and a fantastic breakfast
