Wonderful!

Fantastic
We fell in love with this property as soon as we arrived. What an amazing way to spend our Christmas break. Udi, the villa manager and host , made our stay very special . He arranged for breakfast and lunch to be provided for us from their adjoining property . Christmas lunch was a real feast. All our needs were catered for and we were truly spoilt. Great location and accommodation with pool overlooking the beautiful beach. The busy road at the back of the property was shut away by the high walls. The 24 hour guard service was unobtrusive. Udi organised for a driver to take us out for dinner to the nearby town and then for an afternoon/evening trip to Galle (well with a visit). We would highly recommmned this property ...
Fantastic villa.
Villa is gorgeous. Its spacious & clean. It is right on the road, which is noisy. If you don't have the beachfront bedroom, you will need earplugs! The villa is safe for children, as it is enclosed. We used tuk tuks to get to hikkaduwa to eat in the evenings, which was great, there is plenty of choice there. The food at 6 degrees is lovely, but I would suggest getting a bill for each meal as you go, so you are not surprised by the amount. Dinner from six degrees served at the villa was expensive we thought. 75 us dollars for 2 fish, with rice and salad. The bill for that actually came to 96 us dollars with local taxes. That was not worth the money! Overall the holiday experience was 5 star as the villa and the staff were so lovely.
bliss in paradise
amazing host with udith and really nice staff the house is soooo comfy right on the beach can't wait for another visit!!
A perfect spot for a family vacation!
We had a fabulous time at the Palms Villa. I visited with my mom and four kids (ages 11-15) for a full week. It was a return trip for us to Sri Lanka but our first time on the southwest coast. The villa is beautiful and well equipped with beach towels and enough kitchen supplies to cook for ourselves. The ocean was definitely swimmable at this time of year (April). My older three swam everyday in the surf, but we are a family used to managing waves. It is not a calm beach for very young children, but my 11 year old who is a bit wave-shy still loved running in and out of the waves. The pool was perfect to balance out the exciting surf.
We liked that we were away from the craziness of hikkaduwa but that we could get there easily for a couple of days of surfing and shopping (we walked up the hill from Hikkaduwa to Sakura Batik and met the lovely couple who run it - we bought beautiful batiks there). We highly recommend taking the bus as it was easy and cheap. There is a bus stop just across the street and to the south a bit. Coming back we sometimes had to wait until the Ambalangoda stop in town, but then it was a nice walk along the beach or a quick tuk-tuk back to the villa. We also highly recommend taking the train into Galle as it again was easy and so much cheaper than hiring a driver. Plus it's a beautiful train ride. We did have Udith arrange a driver for us to Mirissa to see blue whales and that was a fabulous day! We went with Raja and the Whales and can't recommend them enough. They cost more, yes, but they were so much better than the other companies we saw on the water. They were respectful of the whales and the environment, they recycle, provided breakfast on real plates to reduce waste and were so knowledgeable about the whales. Other companies were loud and obnoxious rather than quiet observers of the amazing nature they were seeing.
We balanced out cooking for ourselves with eating out and ordering from 6 Degrees North a few villas down. Their food was amazing and would always provide leftovers. We went each morning to a small store across the street and a few hundred yards up the road to the left to get fresh bread, water and whatever other goody they had - our favorite was a crepe wrapped up with coconut and honey!
The guards and the young man who cleaned for us were lovely and much appreciated. We would definitely return again to the Palms Villa!
Brilliant place and service
We visited The Palms villa two families with 2 young boys. Villa is very fresh, good quality and very well kept. Everything we saw in photos was exactly the same when we arrived. Absolutely distant from other world, just enjoying incredible views, rough ocean and hospitality of Udi, Siva and the the Team. The Chef working in resort near by (Nine degrees North) and has the same management was really great. We visited couple of restaurants in Hihhaduwa, but local food was far better. We had the best vacation for last couple of years for sure.
Amazing holiday!!
We travelled to Sri Lanka with our three girls aged 18, 15 and 8. When we first arrived we were so impressed by the villa with the wonderful Indian Ocean just a few steps away. Although we were unable to swim in the ocean as it is a little rough at this time of year we still spent time on the beach paddling and made good use of the pool. We went on quite a few trips which Udi (6 Degrees North) arranged for us and thoroughly enjoyed exploring this beautiful country. The star of the show for us was Jaya, our driver and guide, as he goes the extra mile to make sure you get the most out of your trips. We will always remember his kindness and lovely personality. We ate at the villa quite a few times ordering from 6 Degrees North as they are located only a few properties down on the beach. Sampat would arrive with our food, lay the table for us and then clear away after, a take-away with a difference! We also ate out in Hikkaduwa quite a few times as there is a very good selection of restaurants, we mainly travelled there by tuk tuk which can be rather hair raising but that seems to be the nature of tuk tuk drivers!! We have so many special memories from this holiday, from a Safari in Yala National Park to boat trips to visiting the stunning City of Kandy with the Temple of the Tooth and so much more. We would highly recommend this villa as this is a holiday with a difference, you are not just booking the villa, you are booking the beautiful hospitality of Udi and all of his staff. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much Udi and staff for making this a truly memorable holiday. Ann, Martin, Tilly, Clem and Lissy

Sri Lanka, officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, is an island country in the northern Indian Ocean off the southeast coast of the Indian subcontinent in South Asia. Known until 1972 as Ceylon, Sri Lanka has maritime borders with India to the northwest and the Maldives to the southwest.
Sri Lanka has a documented history that spans over 3,000 years, but there are theories to suggest that Sri Lanka had pre-historic human settlements dating back to at least 125,000 years
The island consists mostly of flat to rolling coastal plains, with mountains rising in the south-central part. The climate is tropical and warm, due to the moderating effects of ocean winds. . Average yearly temperature ranges from 28 °C (82.4 °F) to nearly 31 °C (87.8 °F). Day and night temperatures may vary by 14 °C (25.2 °F) to 18 °C (32.4 °F).
Activities include swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, windsurfing, sailing, fishing, stand up paddling and kayaking.
Nearby Ambalangoda is well known throughout asia for its dancers and carved masks that you can purchase at the museum or the local mask stores.
In the Hikkaduwa and Ambalangoda area there are many interesting day trips including the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Galle Fort which is located just 30 km south of the villa, not only for the history and old churches, but for the fantastic shopping. Also nearby is many temples, the turtle hatchery, moonstone mines, cinnamon farms, several well stocked antique stores, lake tours.
World famous architech Geoffrey Bawa's Lununganga and letter-Garden are highly recommended.
