桑德亞酒店(The Sandhya)

Many thanks to the hotel! Me and my boyfriend travel a lot around the world and stay in hotels like this a lot. None of them were as attentive and warm as this one! The feeling when you walk through the door and see this incredible beautiful view and atmosphere in front of you was absolut beautiful. Our room was perfect-very clean, the food was very good so we ate there every day and the outdoor area was great as well. Also a big compliment to the staff! They were always courteous and always with a smile on their faces. The whole exterior was wonderful but for us it was the little details and gestures that made everything perfect. Many thanks to the team for the incredible stay and the great experience we had! - see you soon :)

Questo è stato il nostro migliore soggiorno in Sri Lanka. Tutto al Sandhya è assolutamente perfetto. Accoglienza del personale sempre disponibile e attento ad ogni esigenza. Le camere sono di un livello superiore. Biancheria di alta qualità , tanti piccoli dettagli pensati per il confort del cliente degni di un hotel di lusso. Abbiamo amato la doccia doppia con acqua sempre calda (cosa molto rara in sri Lanka) e la cromoterapia. Tutte le camere hanno una vista sull’oceano meravigliosa da cui si vedono due spot di surf e la sera ci si può godere il tramonto dalla propria stanza. La colazione è deliziosa e servita con grande stile. La hall è un capolavoro di architettura e il giardino con lettini di fronte alla spiaggia è perfetto per rilassarsi e leggere un libro. A questo posto che mi è rimasto nel cuore do il massimo dei voti e, alla mia quarta esperienza in sri Lanka, lo considero l’hotel migliore del paese. Unico consiglio da dare: sarebbe fantastico avere un piccolo frigo nelle camere e dei servizi per thè/caffè in camera.

Вообще я никогда не писала отзывы, но в этом случае просто обязана это сделать!!! Останавливались в этом отеле на 3 ночи. Что я могу сказать: в самых лучших отелях мира я не встречала такой искренней заботы и любви! Прекрасный камерный отель на первой линии с современным интерьером. Просторные номера, все с видом на океан. Еда в отеле выше всяких похвал. Шеф-повар отменно готовит! Сервис фактически 24 часа, любое пожелание! Персонал очень заботливый и внимательный! Выражаю огромную благодарность персоналу отеля!

Vi bodde här i två nätter, personalen är väldigt trevlig Mindre hotell med 9 rum Bra läge med gångavstånd till flera andra restauranger. Rum o lobby är lika fina som på bilderna. Ca 200 meter till närmsta busshållplats

MI HANNO RUBATO I SOLDI Non mimhanno mai confermato ne la camera ne i servizi ma mi hanno solo fatto l'addebito Addirittura dopo la data del previsto ceck in Mi hanno rubato 500€ Beati loro se sono felici cosi Mi sono prenotato un altro resort, molto Serio e professionale Aqui di definisco il THE SANDHIYA UNA BANDA DI LADRONI DA EVITARE !!!!

We had an excellent stay here - Nuradha and team took great care of us. We were there for my wife's birthday, and they were kind enough to upgrade us to the suite. The facilities, room and common area are brilliantly designed and the proximity to the sea is a huge bonus. Would highly recommend this place for a couple!

We stayed in this beautiful hotel for 2 weeks. What a beautiful place to relax. The hotel is perfectly located on Kabalana Beach, stylish, extremely clean. The entire team of the hotel was more than attentive, a perfect and incredibly friendly service. You can see that it is an owner-managed boutique hotel. Even the smallest details are very consistent, the motivation to offer guests a great stay extremely high. Thank you for this wonderful time, keep up the good work and stay healthy! 🌸

The Sandhya embodies elegance and refined luxury reimagined for Sri Lanka's stunning south coast. Nestled towards the (quiet) end of the stunning Kabalana Beach, The Sandhya is the crown jewel in Ahangama's burgeoning hotel and tourism scene. From smiling security and housekeeping to the excellent service team led by Taranja, the staff are unbelievably friendly, professional, and attentive in all the right ways. The food and cocktail menu are a culinary tour de force. Try the tuna tataki (ideally washed down with signature cocktails such as Sand & Sun or Gold Dust), it is literally my favourite meal in the world. The Sandhya delivers six-star-level confort, world-class design (wait until you see the iconic floating staircase) and landscaping, and high-end interior and amenity elements. No expense has been spared in ensuring their guests' receive an unmatched customer experience. Crucially, I don't say any of this based on one visit. I've stayed at The Sandhya around a dozen times over 5-6 years and the standards never slip, if anything they improve every year. If you can swing it, try out the Director's Suite - it is a genuine triumph in every way imagineable! Overall, the Sandhya is simply unmatched. It is a must-stay property if you're heading to Ahangama, which you should be! Oh, and the no kids policy may not be for everyone but it's a hit for me!

There is something mystical about The Sandhya from the moment of arrival. The paradox of the imposing yet inviting, luxurious yet natural entrance makes you gasp and grin with expectation before you even step into the elegant interior. There are local touches everywhere...subtle but prevalent, all the same. The smiling welcome when the gate slides back to give access to your Tuk Tuk or your airport transfer; the shoes carefully lined up on the side of the stairs; the aromas and the gifts on the reception desk, the wooden key rings and the leather accessories. You know you need to check-in but you're too busy wondering when you will have time to photograph all the magnificently designed angles. More paradox...minimal, clean, symmetrical with modern-inspired furniture straight out of a magazine feature but cosy, warm, natural materials exuding comfort and that feeling of home at the same time. The boutique hotel's signature staircase allows the floor-to-ceiling windows space to breathe, and the stunning view is constant: day or night. Breathtaking! The concept is easy and simple but remarkable. It's a nine-room home with a lovely team there to make your stay unforgettable. But do they feel like staff waiting on you hand and foot? That would be too stifling, no. They are always there when you need them but this is more like being in a shared villa with friends (who you don't have to see if you decide you want your privacy). Open kitchen, honesty bar, a fabulous breakfast menu, lunch and dinner, board games, reading material, coffee-table books, a pool and garden, but - more importantly - a quiet corner of Kabalana beach, just metres from the azure waters and the waves. It's heavenly! The music, the daily fresh juices and fruit, the surf lessons (should you opt for some), the stretch of sandy beach, the access to everything else on your to-do list, the shared dinner or gatherings if you are fortunate enough to be there on a special occasion (like New Year's Eve with bubbles and fireworks) are carefully curated to make sure you build some unforgettable memories. You could be perched on the bar having a drink with the owner, running along the sand by sunrise, or lying on your sunbed chatting to a couple about their honeymoon. And, if you're alone, you will feel totally at ease doing your own thing in the lounge area or the dining room, tapping away at your laptop or reading your book, safe in the knowledge that someone is always around if you fancy a bite to eat or a refreshment, a massage, some tips on activities in the area or help planning your stay...and wherever you are in the hotel, you are always overlooking the garden and the sea. Magical! The Sandhya is a boutique hotel with a difference. It didn't feel like being in a hotel at all, but it had all the trimmings of a luxury resort. Sri Lanka was amazing, so being able to couple that up with accommodation I never wanted to leave, made every part of my itinerary a moment of anticipation. Did I me
