Athithi Villa

Everything about this property was fabulous, it’s a new place and it is a well run establishment. The rooms are an excellent size and have a very functional kitchenette, the bathroom is spotless and has nice water pressure with very hot water. The room is cleaned to perfection every day and the entire property is very well maintained. The swimming pool is a very nice size and handles the guests from the 7 rooms with ease and is also very warm. Lalith, the owner and Indika his right-hand man take care of all your needs in addition to providing valuable information about the Hikkaduwa area. They can also provide a scooter rental which I would highly recommend as the freedom to go to different beaches and explore the back roads or go to Galle was very nice indeed. Antonio, the breakfast chef is only too happy to serve up wonderful variations every morning either on the patio or in your room. The beach is less than a 5 minute walk where you can catch some amazing sunsets, however the surf there can be extremely big and rough. Much better to go up the road to the Lagoon or Coral Reef Beach for calmer waters and fantastic snorkeling, only about 5 or so minutes by tuk-tuk which are always available out on the main road. We stayed at Athithi for 40 days and truly felt like family by the end of our stay. I can’t recommend enough how great the this place is and the high value for your money, you won’t regret your decision to book here. I will definitely be back!

The only downside is being close to some train tracks, which most of Hikkaduwa is, they don’t run too often at night and I personally wasn’t too bothered by them.

The nearby railway caused some intermittent noise when trains passed. Luckily enough there where very few trains during the nights

It was a good experience

Beautiful place, such a great service and amazing pool. Beach just across the street.
