Incredible stay! Everything was perfect, from the beach just in front, to the fantastic pool, the perfect room and the excellence of the staff!
The best hotel we stayed during our Sri Lanka holidays!

We did not expect anything from the hotel as it was very last minute and the best choice according to other reviews! But when we got there it felt like a mini palace! We loved it, and would go there again!

What a charming place,beautiful gardens,good service.We stayed at Alaya room which is less private but offers direct access and great views over the infinity,warm and delicious pool and the sea.I suggest to make some improvements on their food quality and options.

Eraeliya is a truly boutique hotel. It was our last stop of a busy 5 week trip and the perfect place to unwind. Everything about the place exceeded our expectations, exuding quality and tasteful design. The owner (Anna) and staff (Julia, Jerome and...) are to be commended for their attention to detail. Expect to hear "yes" and "of course" often.
Meals are prepared to order and served on one's own patio. Breakfast is extensive and the dinner choice is ample, delicious and reasonably priced. Alcohol is not served but is allowed, so guests can stock the minibar from the local wine store. Tick!
Eraeliya is a short tuk tuk from town and other restaurants (try Akila's).
We shared the gardens and trees with monkeys, iguanas and squirrels and went to sleep to the sound of rolling ocean waves.
We WILL return.

Wonderful relaxing stay. The Villas were incredibly decorated, and the entire grounds were beautiful. All the staff were so lovely and went the extra mile for any small request. The food was delicious - a short and sweet menu but each dish was fantastic. The breakfast spread was absolutely fantastic!! A perfect spot to relax and unwind, and only a few mins tuk tuk to Weligama Town, or about 10-15mins tuk tuk to Mirissa Beach.

Fantastic location and brilliant boutique hotel right on the beach in a very private setting. We arrived late and did not have anyone available to show us our room or how to order breakfast, WiFi password etc which would be an improvement. Otherwise an excellent holiday location.

The villas are beautiful, scenery is stunning and staff were super polite and did everything they could to make us comfortable. Lovely, lovely place, very peaceful. Food was lovely and very reasonably priced compared to the other (high end) hotels we stayed in in Sri Lanka, we had two dinners and one breakfast and everything was great. They do special dinners too - catch of the day and a lobster dinner which we didn't get chance to try but that looked good!

Eraeliya villas lives up to the expectations in the photos - it really is stunning.The high ceilings in the upper rooms in the main villa mean that the room feels even larger and waking up to the sea view every morning is wonderful.
Unfortunately the service doesn't quite live up to the beauty of the property, or, more honestly, the rather high price tag.
- Breakfast is ordered the night before and supposed to be delivered to the room, at the time you specify. We stayed for 6 nights and breakfast was only on time twice, arriving anything from 15-30 minutes after the time you requested. No big deal if you are just lying by the pool, but as my husband had to leave to go diving one morning it meant he had to go hungry.
- For the whole duration of our stay there was only one room key as the previous occupants had apparently forgotten to return the spare. I'm not sure what would have happened if we'd mislaid that key
- For three days our air conditioning kept malfunctioning. It was ultimately replaced, and whilst the staff were responsive to get it working again, it just became an annoyance until it was finally fixed
- When we left reception tried to get us to sign for the full room charge, even though we'd already paid in advance, which seemed odd. When I asked why hotels.com wouldn't be paying the hotel, they backed down
When our driver arrived we said goodbye to the group of staff in reception who were chatting amongst themselves. They didn't reply. Sums up the service

The place is amazing, beautiful location on the beach, tranquil, super pool and lobby area in the main villa. The photos are accurate ! Excellent breakfasts, lunches and attentive staff. They no longer offer dinner but give a list of local eateries. No alcohol served but ok to bring own, store in fridge. If you can afford it, choose one of the 4 sea view rooms in the main villa, upstairs probably best as private balcony and dining tables. Downstairs great comfy sofas and chairs too but right on the pool so less private. The family villa looked lovely too. We stayed in one of the garden villas, 'Abalaya' Garden Bungalow for 4 nights. When we booked it was not listed as 'not recommended for light sleepers', so we found out the hard way ! Mariachi band from birthday party at (very) nearby beach kiosk, a massive new hotel being constructed just over the wall from dawn till 10pm. (This is targeted for completion early April - maybe they will have a restaurant ?) Also could hear road traffic from adjacent minor road, some obtrusive when music from cars blaring. There is a small outside table, where breakfast may be served (or in the room) but we chose to eat in the garden with those fabulous views. To be fair, when there were not guests in the beachfront villas we ate at their table, twice, once upstairs, one down. The interior was lovely (as photos but a lot darker - many, blinds to work) but awkwardly located plug sockets. Overall is okay if you are on a budget and bring earplugs

Right on the beach with a beautiful pool and surrounding views. Food was delicious and staff were very helpful. The day trip to Galle was also definitely worth doing through Eraeliya and Mirissa is just a tuk tuk away for lots of beach restaurants.

Essentially you get your own private beach and private pool, impeccable service and there wasnt a mix of couples and families staying at the 9-bedroom/villa complex. If you book in the main house you have even greater access to the pool and beach but the other villas have increased privacy and their own porches. The property is stunning and because there is no dine-in restaurant, the delicious meals are delivered to you room-service style. In our room, we had an outdoor sofa and a table with oversized wicker chairs. There were so many spots to enjoy the sunsets or watch the surfers out at sea. Everything from the breakfast to the dinners were so delicious and reasonably priced. They sell some souvenirs but we were lucky enough to spot some handloomed linens from Island Craft that were more expensive than ordering on the website but we felt we got the more beautiful throws and table cloths. The private entrance to Weligama Beach was awesome and there is a security guarded gate to the complex. The poolside area has enough beach chairs to accommodate all guests and nice plush towels. They serve you lemongrass water or coconut water and bring you scented cold towels in the afternoon (and upon arrival). The main building has a gorgeous entrance and reception area that includes a grand piano and a library. We saw lots of monkeys in the nearby trees but they dont bother the guests, theyre busy in the trees! The impressive showers and stone sinks are something to write home about

accomodation is fantastic, property is very secuded and has own stretch of beach.
housekeeping services were great and food delivered to villa when ordered.
the accomodation doesnt have a license so a trip to the wine store in the local town was needed.

My boyfriend and I had an amazing stay at this beautiful hotel. The gardens are spectacular, the food was incredible, and the room was the nicest we have ever stayed in. The staff were fantastic and helped us plan a delicious lobster dinner on our balcony. Utter relaxation, could not recommend this hotel more. We'll definitely be back

A real relaxing stay, great accommodation and amazing views.Staff are very friendly but not enough which makes ordering something rather difficult at times. Also the small villa we stayed in would benefit from more power points as well as better lighting in the bathroom. Otherwise really great.

We stayed 3 nights in the Muhuda Bella Villa and 2 in the main villa in the room called Alaya. The small villa is a bit tired and I feel as it's the furthest room from the main building it almost forgotten.
But the main Villa is great the room we stayed in there was brilliant.
The staff are really friendly and efficient. The food was great. The spa treatments we had were great.
The wifi in the small villa was pretty much nonexistent. But the main villa it was fine.
Beer is hard to come by which I couldn't understand why, as the hotel is full, they didn't have a huge stock of beer on hand. So a couple nights we could have more than 2 beers! So we went out and bought some, a 10mins tuktuk ride.
Overall a good place but don't stay in the Muhuda Bella Villa.

Great room, well located, beautiful garden and pool.The breakfast was a success With good bread jam and pancakes. Dinner is a bit rushed though (and there is no wine list) as the staff wanted to finish the service by 9 pm.It would however be good if they could rent surf boards. Very close to welligama by tuk tuk.
