This sublime place is crammed with Buddhist statues, tropical flowers and masses of high-quality antiques. The huge rooms have carved wooden headboards and the semi-open-air bathrooms boast your own private koi pond and a plunge-pool bath that doubles as a jacuzzi.
The hotel overlooks an empty stretch of beach, but most of its small number of lucky guests just relax by the pool and indulge in spa and Ayurveda treatments. Light sleepers can select the firmness of their pillow from a designated menu. It's 6km south of Hikkaduwa.
