Our stay at Sielen Diva exceeded all expectations for many reasons: - The villa is GORGEOUS - the pictures on the booking page are already beautiful, but in person it's even more beautiful. The common areas are comfortable and the room was spaceous, luxurious and worked well for our 7 day stay. The close proximity to the nearly private, quiet beach is also a massive a massive bonus as the beaches in the area are fairly crowded with tourists. - The food is DELICIOUS - we traveled around Sri Lanka for 2 weeks and the food at Sielen Diva was the best we had throughout our whole trip. The menu is extensive with everything from Avocado toast and granola bowls in the morning to delicious fresh juices, specialty cocktails, home made ice cream to more traditional sri lankan food such as curries. I also have to mention that the chef and villa manager are super attentive to their guests' needs. Every evening we got a special mix of curries, one of us is allergic to onion and the food was adapted to this and we briefly mentioned that we love mangoes, after which we got fresh mango daily. - The staff is the KINDEST we've ever experienced - the villa staff was honestly what made our trip (on top of everything else). Everyone is SO SO friendly, helpful and caring. I want to give a special mention to the villa manager George who went above and beyond throughout the whole week to make our stay comfortable and smooth, organising rides, a special birthday celebration with cake, giving advice, picking up fresh veggies, seafood and fruit from the farmer's market and generally being an amazing human. Both of us have traveled loads around the world and stayed at top notch hotels and our experience at Sielen Diva was among the best (if not the best) hotel experience we've ever had. Do yourself a favor and STAY HERE!!!

If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway surrounded by nature, this eco resort in the middle of a bird sanctuary is absolutely perfect. The setting is stunning—so calm and picturesque, with wildlife everywhere you look. Waking up to birdsong and seeing so many colorful species up close was just magical. Honestly, the best vegetarian food I’ve ever had. Every meal was packed with fresh flavors, and you could tell they use the best local ingredients. It was a treat every single time! The staff were amazing—so kind, friendly, and genuinely accommodating. They made sure everything was just right, whether it was helping plan nature walks or catering to special requests. Special thanks to Ruwan and the whole team. If you want a tranquil escape with great food, incredible staff, and a chance to really connect with nature.

This will be a very difficult review to write as I’m afraid I won’t find the words to describe the amazing stay we had. This is the most beautiful boutique hotel you will find around Galle. Beautiful decor, art, vibe, feel. We were meant to stay 4 nights, ended up staying 7 nights. We preferred to lose the money at a hotel in Bentota, just to come back here for three more nights. We understand this sounds pretentious, however, this place is so good, we felt was the right move to really finish the holiday on a high note. Perhaps the highlight is the service. A one on one superb service. Vishan surely is the most helpful and kind soul out there. Nothing was impossible for him. The chef, the cleaning staff and even the gate staff were amazing. The rooms are gorgeous, clean and very, very spacious. Beautifully decorated. We stayed two nights at a pool room and the rest of the nights at a beach view room (also with pool access). Both were equally amazing, with direct access to the gorgeous infinity pool, handy outdoor shower, comfortable mattress and pillows. The food was amazing, breakfast was superb and abundant. Although the beautiful beach in front of the hotel is not swimmable (lots of coral reef) there are swimmable beaches a few meters away. And the presence of coral reef means seeing the fishermen early in the morning do their special Sri Lankan fishing technique. We would spend all morning and afternoon at the hotel (not wanting to leave) and around 4pm get ready for our Galle fort daily stroll (about 15-20min away by car). Visiting the old Galle city during day time is torturous as the temperatures are super high and super humid. So Galle old town for sunset and dinner every night was a great plan. Plenty of places to go for dinner, plenty of shopping and plenty to walk. We felt secluded, private, cared for, pampered, comfortable…. Such a great stay!

Owl and Pussycat Hotel is unique and luxurious. I had the privilege of being upgraded to the most enchanting suite, because I had requested a room without stairs. It was just amazing - the kind of suite that you could see yourself living in. Lovely colors and finishings and artworks. Especially wonderful is the restaurant and its staff. I had literally the best hotel meal of my life and you can too if you as for the Dr Barker Special. I will return.
