Sielen Diva

In every way a fantastic small hotel. Everything stands for top score; the staff, the food, the room, the location, the view, the service, the friendliness and the atmosphere. So calm and comforting that it was almost difficult to get out and do other things in the local area. Highly recommended!

sono veramente sconvolta dall'aggressivita con cui ci hanno parlato le due donne dell'equipe di questo hotel quando ci hanno visto fare il bagno nella spiaggia pubblica davanti, ci hanno detto che noi inquinavamo e di ritornare a casa nostra che non dovevamo stare in sri lanka... noi siamo persone che odiano l'inquinamento e amiamo la natura incontaminata, sicuramente non siamo noi che lasciamo immondizia.... non riesco a capire perche questa gente ha pensato di insultarci !!! siamo veramente sconvolti da questa aggressione ingiustificata!! Credevo anzi ero veramente convinta che in sri lanka non esistesse questa arroganza….

Simply speaking, one of the best experiences and customer services ever! The property has only 7 rooms, so everything feels very personal. The staff is absolutely excellent in every aspect, and Ajith the manager has done the extra mile for us, helping us to organise activities (yoga and massage), days out and generally speaking being helpful in any possible way. I cannot overstate how helpful and attentive him and the staff have been, with the property in general being at the very top end of the experiences that one could get in Galle. Highly recommended!

We booked out the entire villa for a family holiday. We had a wonderful time in this beautiful villa. Service was good. Rooms were clean. Food was excellent- the bbq and the Sri Lankan traditional fare was outstanding. The staff were attentive and looked into all our various dietary requirements. They went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. Extremely courteous team.

Sielen Diva is an unforgettable retreat ! With elegant amenities, smooth check-in/out, delicious food, attentive staff, and great value, it's a perfect getaway for a memorable stay. Pricing is competitive too. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

What can I say but, ‘Simply Exceptional’, from the moment the gates to the drive open you realise you have arrived somewhere special. There is a certain serenity that embraces you as you walk down the entrance hall and in to the spacious and perfectly presented lounge and dining area which looks out across your private pool and down to the beach beyond the gardens. No traffic noise, just nature and the sound of the waves washing across the rocks and on to the beach. Everything is special here, the location, the villa, the friendly attentive staff dedicated to your every need, the quality and maintenance of everything, the attention to detail, the food, bedrooms and bathrooms are all wonderful. The villa boasts 7 bedrooms, 4 to the upper floor, 1 to the ground floor and 2 to the garden area, all are very spacious with comfortable beds and ample hanging and storage, all have large en-suite bathrooms with walk in showers and all but the ground floor have a large bath. The beds are comfortable, all have tv’s with access to Netflix etc. and there is ample hot water, towels and other bathroom essentials. The happy and smiling staff are always on hand to provide you the ultimate service and the 2 personal chefs create outstanding food to complement the array of cocktails and soft drinks that freely flow. We were a group of 6 couples visiting for 3 nights and they happily prepared a delicious and off menu BBQ for us on our first evening. Always important to mention the things that others might see as a negative so, the beach is beautiful but not for swimming, it’s too rough and rocky, that said , if you walk 5 minutes down the beach you’ll find turtle bay where we swam with turtles. The wine list is ok but is limited, nevertheless, much better than any other we experienced on our 2 week journey across Sri Lanka (if you’ve been here before you will understand that wine is not really the thing in Sri Lanka), so if you’re a wine connoisseur please don’t be disappointed, we all love our wine and made do with a Zin, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. In summary, if you’re looking for the ultimate chill-out villa in Sri Lanka this is the place, especially if you are a group or family that wants the place to yourselves, you will not get better!
