  Everything about Villa Don Hendrick is perfect. Rather than writing a long list, just book it to experience it yourself, I can assure you you will not be disappointed. The rooms are beautifully designed. The air temperature is perfect for sleeping, and a welcome rest from air conditioning. The breakfast is fantastic. We stayed for 4 nights and were served something different everyday, but everything was the highest quality. The swimming pool is stunning. The area is also outstanding. There is so much to so, including watching nesting (and hatching depending on the season) turtles at Rekawa a highlight of our entire tour of Sri Lanka, or was it the Leopard we saw in Yala on a day trip (1.5 hours away). There are many outstanding restaurants a short Tuk Tuk drive away.

  Memorable 3 nights stay at Villa Don Hendrick

  A definite 10 out of 10. The place is stunning with beautiful scenery all round, just 3 bungalows and a lovely swimming pool, it felt so serene. The room was super clean and very comfortable. Harold, Raf and everyone working at the Villa could not have been more helpful, and great hosts. We were given a mobile phone with important numbers stored such as tuk tuk drivers, Harold and Raf thought of everything. Chameera the tuk tuk driver was great, taking us everywhere, nothing was too far, even Hiriketiya is only 20-25 minutes away. The breakfast was possibly the best of our whole trip with quality ingredients, something different each day. We met repeat guests who were on their 7th and 8th visit, that’s testiment to how great this place is. Villa Don Hendricks will stay in our memories, thank you.

  Fantastisch verblijf

  Wat een geweldige plek. Super mooie bungalows en een prachtig zwembad. De eigenaren zijn super aardig en het ontbijt voortreffelijk.

  Villa Don Hendrick – Timeless Elegance with Heart Villa Don Hendrick is a true gem in the south of Sri Lanka. The refined atmosphere of the historic villa feels like stepping into an Elle Decor editorial – harmonious proportions, carefully curated design, and a beautiful balance of textures and light. The three charming chalets set within the garden are tastefully designed in an elegant southern Sri Lankan style – natural, refined, and understated. Each chalet features a beautiful four-poster bed with a mosquito net, freshly washed for every guest – a detail that reflects the exceptional level of care throughout the property. The mattresses are excellent, ensuring truly restorative sleep. An espresso machine is provided in every chalet, and the spacious bathrooms are beautifully appointed, even featuring a bidet. The expansive, meticulously maintained garden is home to countless peacocks, creating an almost magical setting. The pool was the best we experienced during our weeks of traveling through Sri Lanka – ideal in both length and depth, perfect for proper swimming. The owners are warm, humorous, and genuinely welcoming. They personally serve the outstanding breakfast, with fruit platters arranged like small works of modern art. Hospitality here is not staged – it is sincerely lived. There is also a wonderful small “massage temple” on the property, offering a peaceful retreat for relaxation. The immediate surroundings are less charming, and a large temple complex nearby means that chanting can at times be very audible. Light sleepers may wish to bring earplugs. With a tuk-tuk, it takes about 10 minutes to reach Tangalle town and a little longer to access the beaches and restaurants. Everything is exceptionally clean and maintained with great care. For anyone seeking refined hospitality and a stylish, well-kept retreat, this resort is an absolute find. We would happily return. Thanks and hugs to Raf & Harold.
