We spent 5 nights at Maya during our trip to Sri Lanka and it felt like home by the time we left. I was quite distraught as we drove away (although my husband put my moist eyes down to being 4 months pregnant...) The peacefulness at Maya was exactly what my husband and I had come away for. It only... More

Every correspondence from owner Niki starts with "Greetings from Peaceful Maya" & that is so true. If you want serenity & calm there are few better places than this. Niki was brilliant at handling our booking request - rarely have we had such help & attention to detail before we had even arrived. We took the seaplane down from Colombo... More

We stayed in the Amangalle , then the Amanwella . The food, cocktails and generous hospitality was way and beyond. Beautiful stylish rooms. A wonderful oasis. I would defiantly return? It is not easy to find good food in Sri Lanka , this was how I imagine was eating at home in Sri Lanka .

We booked our holiday late and were unimpressed by value-for-money of the remaining available hotels on the beach around Tangalle, so we chose Maya. In general it was really lovely. They have very nicely completed the refurbishment of an old colonial house, and the setting is very relaxing. The pool was perfect and the grounds were great, with lounge chairs... More

We have just returned from our trip to Sri Lanka as an holiday but also to have our wedding. I researched for a long time for the right place for us. I wanted somewhere stunningly beautiful, private and where we could organize all of the small details that would make it special so when I found Maya and started to... More

Maya provides an indulgent getaway from busy city life. Just a 15 mins drive from the beautiful beaches of the southern coast, Maya has that peaceful, luxurious setting which makes it both an intimate and relaxing place to stay. With just five rooms, there is plenty of space, lots of attention from the team, fabulous food and cocktails - to... More

In the interest of full disclosure,we went to Maya as friends of the owner but also as paying guests:The juxtaposition of the new wing and grown up length pool and the original house makes for an intimate setting within the expansive and verdant surroundings where scarcely a sign of human existence can be seen.Morning walks around the nearby hamlet and...

Friends and I took the whole house for Christmas - it was superb. We were wonderfully looked after by Parera, Dinesh and the team. The lovely house is in a great setting with every available comfort and generous service. Many thanks to Nikki and your crew of wonderful guys Hugs

My girlfriend and I stayed for just two nights not knowing beforehand quite how wonderful the place is, if we didn't have a full itinerary we certainly would have stayed on! It was her birthday and once we had settled in, had a dip in the pool and a G&T over looking the imaculate garden, the team at Maya had... More
