We loved everything: the rooms were large and with beautiful design, everything super clean; very confortable bed. At one point we were the only guests (our group) since it is a small resort. The pool is amazing, food was perfect. It s best to preorder, so you don t wait. Try Tomato and Orange soup, my favorite, also shrimps, pasta, lamb.. they have a very good Chef. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The nearby Balapytia beach was so beautiful, we saw a wonderful sunset from the rocks. It was splendid to relax here after visiting the island. It was one if the 2 best hotels we stayed in Sri Lanka. Only 5 km to River Madu boat tour. 30-40 min to Hikkaduwa to see turtles.

This Christmas, my two girls and I enjoyed an unforgettable camping trip, followed by a relaxing stay at the stunning Balapitiya beach. To unwind, we booked the Tropical Oasis Villa—a true paradise. This private villa, with its spotless pool and homely charm, felt like a sanctuary. It was the perfect blend of comfort and luxury, offering us a home away from home. The best part? It was just a short stroll to the breathtaking beach. Our family cherished every moment and can't wait to return!

We’ve been visiting Sri Lanka with our family for many years, but very few places have impressed us as much as Splendour Residence. Sure, there might be some minor imperfections here and there – but they’re completely outweighed by how smoothly everything runs and how exceptional the guest care is. The staff is absolutely fantastic – from the owner to every single member of the team. Everyone is kind, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. Our little daughter received such lovely attention and care, and it made the whole stay even more special for us. The food was excellent, and the surroundings – both indoor and outdoor – were beautiful. There is a clear emphasis on space and comfort throughout the property, which we truly appreciated. The entire hotel feels well-thought-out, peaceful, and harmonious. I sometimes give a 10/10 rating on Booking, even when a place has a few flaws that are balanced by other strengths. But Splendour Residence deserves more than just a perfect score. If I could rate it higher, I absolutely would. We even changed our travel plans just to stay a little longer – that’s how much we loved it here. And if we ever return to Sri Lanka, there’s no doubt – we’ll be coming back here.

Lovely villa right behind a beautiful, lonely sandy beach - there’s comfy sun beds and only the villa guests in the beach. Perfect for enjoying the sunset! The rooms are spacious with really good showers. Each room has an own terrace where breakfast is served individually. We got amazing traditional Sri Lankian breakfast with String Hoppers, Curry, Dhal, Pol Sambol, fresh fruits, juice and Ceylon tea. Super delicious! And the staff is exceptional - one day they even started playing music from our home country in the morning, so much fun :)

This was a fantastic getaway and wished the stay was longer. The place was beautifully decorated to give a luxurious feel, with traditional Sri Lankan pieces and art. The staff was super friends and oh my god the food they prepared was just amazing. A traditional Sri Lankan breakfast is recommended.

We wholeheartedly recommend Sundara by Mosvold for a delightful stay. Hassan and the whole team extend outstanding kindness and ensure perfect service. The delicious cuisine, paired with the hotel's superior location directly at the beautiful beach, incredible garden and interior, create a truly enjoyable experience. Everything is prepared with love and genuine kindness, making it a perfect place to relax during your vacation. Both of us are eager to return to this lovely place on the next visit to Sri Lanka.

The best hotel I’ve ever been privileged enough to stay at. Gorgeous building, and it only gets more breathtaking when you walk in. High quality rooms, and high quality service. The Madu river scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to stay in such a quiet and peaceful environment. It is a really great location and a very loyal staff with adorable hospitality. Such a great place to enjoy your holiday.. Thank you! Will recommend to my all colleagues!

All I can say is that I left crying, leaving behind some wonderful people who made us happy, who satisfied all our wishes, took care of us, discreetly, without disturbing the surrounding peace.There is no qualification for the services offered. We had the privilege of being the only tourists in the hotel and all the staff managed to satisfy all our wishes. Do not miss the opportunity to cross their threshold if you are in the area. A small location with special people, where you will feel treated like a king.

Dont look any further. This should be your place to stay at. Great staff, beautiful view on the lake, comfortable rooms and nice swimming pool. You can use the kayaks for free and the surroundings here are stunning. A lot of different kind of birds, monkeys, bats and other animals to spot on the lake. The owner speaks good English and you can see he puts a lot of effort to make this place perfect for his guests.

The crew is professional and ready to help, but also very friendly. It was the best place we visited during our whole stay in Sri Lanka. We really enjoyed our stay here and would gladly recommend it!
