Aga Surf View

Amazing place to stay next to a beautiful enclosed beach. Guide book said one of the nicest places to stay in Sri Lanka and we can confirm. Really amazing vibe. Went with an 8-year old and it was her favourite place from the entire holiday. Staff were lovely and the food delicious.

After 3 weeks of traveling all around Sri Lanka, we arrived at the Aga Surf View to stay for 7 days. THis experience was absolutely perfect. Indi and his team are the nicest people. There are only 5 bungalows and ours was super comfortable, quiet and well decorated. The pool is warm (I love it !) and the chef of the restaurant knows how to cook to please his customers. The food had a Sri Lankan touch without without being too spicy. I still remember the taste of the tuna fished the same morning. So if you are near Tangalle in the south, just book the Aga Surf View.

Peaceful and quiet and large comfortable rooms which are well maintained by staff. Restaurant is wonderful with great fresh food, strong coffee and kitchen ready to please. The manager, Indi, is kind and attentive, always giving 110%. We were so lucky to spend 7 days in this magical place. The Aga Surf has many interesting antique details and the architect did a wonderful job of understanding the space and making it comfortable and beautiful.

We absolutely loved Aga Surf. The staff are super friendly and helpful, the food is excellent and the room was clean, comfortable and (I counted) only 30 paces from the sea! We were easily able to hire surf boards and a paddle board and were spoilt with fresh fruit, prawn curries, great western bites at lunch and the best coffee I have found in Sri Lanka. The setting for this hotel is magic. If you asked a child to draw a paradise beach - it would probably look a lot like this. The little cove is very peaceful and has ideal surf for beginner and intermediate surfers, undersea life for snorkelling and calmer waters for paddle boarding. There is a beach bar with free sun loungers (as long as you buy a drink or two). We spent 3 nights here and hardly needed to leave the beach, Aga restaurant or our room. Could not recommend more highly, my own lot reservation is that this hidden gem will no doubt soon be discovered and become overcrowded- get here soon before it does!

Set in a quiet location - not too far from the centre of Tangalle - with a beautiful little beach just outside (and a couple more just 5 mins walk away), the rooms are in fact individual bungalows set within a garden. The staff are professional and attentive; the food (and coffee!) is freshly made in a clean (semi-open) kitchen; and the room itself was tastefully decorated, with a high pressure rain shower (and very quiet A/C). The only downside to this place was that they were fully booked - preventing us from staying another few nights! ;-)

Beautiful boutique hotel with an amazing view of the bay. Lovely attentive staff, they made our family feel right at home. The food is incredible, and the hotel rooms are beautiful and spacious. Our kids (3 and 6) loved it so much. We can’t wait to come back!
