Sati Villa Rekawa Beach Sri Lanka♡

Exceptional villa and staff

10.0

This is an amazing villa in and exceptional setting. Great staff who were attentive without being intrusive. Rekawa beach is deserted as it is a turtle sanctuary. We saw a turtle laying eggs and returning to the sea 50m from the villa. If you want a peaceful, private villa that feels very uncommercial, this is the place.

− People should be aware that you cannot swim here and that you cannot access the beach after 1900 due to it being a turtle sanctuary. I think this is actually a bonus as it means the beach is virtually deserted during the day. The plots either side of the villa are vacant which is great for privacy but they are a bit scruffy- the only minor thing that spoils an otherwise perfect place.

Tolle Lage, tolle Architektur und Inneneinrichtung, sehr hilfreiche Mitarbeitende, toller Pool! Am Strand kommen nachts Schildkröten zur Eiablage...

− Wir waren 3 Nächte dort inkl. Frühstück/Mittagessen/Abendessen - das Menü-Angebot (inklusive) ist sehr überschaubar und wird schnell eintönig, bzw. man muss dann für weitere Angebote bezahlen. Leider kann man dort nicht im Meer baden aufgrund starker Wellen und Strömungen...

Superbe demeure et cuisine au top

9.0

La maison et son style unique Les repas du chef (meilleure cuisine du séjour) La situation incroyable en bordure d'une magnifique plage déserte et sauvage

− La maison pourrait être mieux aménagée: espaces extérieurs non aménagés et salle-a-manger sans âme.

Beautiful setting

8.0

Amazing beach and sea views, access to turtle watching was a big bonus, can hear the sounds of the sea and waves crashing onto shore from everywhere in the property, chef was amazing cooking traditional tasty food and catered towards our needs (which was not easy given we had a mix of vegetarians and meat eaters plus different flavour/spice preferences). Massages were very good and worth the high price. Staff were helpful.

− All minor points but rooms are basic (not decorated), 2 bathrooms had a bit of a smell, pictures of the listing when booking make the property look more pristine than it actually is (but is still very nice)

Wundervoller Aufenthalt an ruhiger Traumlage

10.0

Die Lage der Sati Villa ist hervorragend und bietet viel Ruhe. Besonders die schönen Sonnenuntergänge haben den Aufenthalt unvergesslich gemacht. Lange Spaziergänge am Meer in der Umgebung laden sehr zum Entspannen ein. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, aufmerksam und hilfsbereit. Das Haus ist modern eingerichtet und sehr schön gestaltet. Auch das Essen war sehr gut. Insgesamt war es ein wundervoller Aufenthalt, den wir gerne weiterempfehlen.

We stayed at the villa with our two kids (4 and 7). The team at Sati villa were excellent. Chef Thilagan prepared excellent food and was careful with my son’s allergies. The beach that the garden leads onto was spectacular and although the sea is too rough to swim has a lovely rock pool for dips and was great for early morning or evening strolls/runs. Gayyan also kept us informed about turtle nestings on the beach and after dinner we were able to see green turtles laying their eggs and also hatching and making a dash for the sea which was an amazing experience for us and the kids. We used the villa as a costal base to explore Yala and Udawalawe national parks whilst also being close to the beaches of Mirissa, Hiriketiya etc. worked really well with all being within a hour and a half drive. What a trip! Thanks team would definitely recommend!!
