The Calm Resort & Spa

The Calm Resort & Spa

📍 WHH6+H2M Coconut Cultivation Board, Road, Passekudah
★★★★★ 9.1 (54 reviews)

"Excellent hotel! We compared all the hotels along the coast, but ultimately chose and didn't regret picking Calm. Firstly, it has a fantastic beach with shaded areas and sun loungers. Secondly, after all our travels around Sri Lanka and staying in smaller hotels, we really wanted something more 'Turkey-esque,' and this hotel delivered – it's quite impressive and large. Thirdly, after battling big waves elsewhere in Sri Lanka, we were longing for a calm swim! We got all of this, although the water isn't perfectly clear because the very fine sand doesn't settle even with small waves. Everything else was super! Large rooms, great service, and attentive staff! We even got a complimentary room upgrade with direct ocean access. Overall, we experienced pure bliss and relaxation at this hotel. It's worth noting that Passikudah itself is a very small village, so it's best to eat at the hotel or nearby establishments. Buying groceries or alcohol is difficult, so if that's important to you, it's best to stock up in advance."

Riviera Resort

Riviera Resort

📍 New Dutch Bar Road, Kallady
★★ 7.7 (33 reviews)

"A great resort with small cabanas and huts placed on a big area. Nice and friendly staff. The resort need some upgrade and refurbishment, and the service in the restaurant can be rather slow. The swimmingpool has a great location, but lack of maintenance."

Amethyst Resort

Amethyst Resort

📍 Coconut Board Road, Passekudah
★★★★ 8.2 (59 reviews)

"Exceptional Service - Thiwanka is a Star! We had an incredible stay at Amethyst Resort Passikudah, made truly unforgettable by Thiwanka. From the moment we arrived, he was an exceptional host and a phenomenal ambassador for the resort. His attention to detail, warmth, and dedication to guest satisfaction are unmatched. He went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our stay was perfect. We cannot recommend both Thiwanka and the resort highly enough. Also, I'd like to say a huge thank you to Ranchan. He arranged taxis, trips and took care of everything we asked for. Nothing was too much trouble. To be honest, every single member of staff provided an incredible service. If you’re visiting Passikudah, this is the place to be."

Amaya Beach Passikudah

Amaya Beach Passikudah

📍 Amaya Beach, Passekudah
★★★★★ 9.3 (68 reviews)

"The hotel is located next to a coral reef. It has a beautiful beach and a swimming pool. The only drawback was the noise at night due to the on-site restaurant."

The Bay an Uga Experience -Pasikuda

The Bay an Uga Experience -Pasikuda

📍 Uga Bay by Uga Escapes Coconut Board Rd, Kalkudha, Kalkudah, Passekudah
★★★★★ 9.7 (49 reviews)

"The service was great, the rooms were so clean and lovely. The atmosphere was incredible we loved the ocean view and the pool next to coconut trees."

Maalu Maalu Resort & Spa - Thema Collection

Maalu Maalu Resort & Spa - Thema Collection

📍 Coconut Development Board, Road, Passekudah
★★★★★ 9.5 (53 reviews)

"Had a wonderful stay at Maalu Maalu Resort & Spa. The staff were incredibly friendly and the hospitality was exceptional. We really appreciated how well both foreigners and locals were cared for, making everyone feel equally welcome and comfortable. The location was beautiful, the resort was very clean, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. A special thank you to Chamara, Ruchira, and Kanthi for their kind gestures and excellent service throughout our stay. The yoga session was calming and enjoyable, and the Ayurvedic facial treatment was incredibly relaxing as well. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in Sri Lanka."

Sunrise Pasikuda

Sunrise Pasikuda

📍 Coconut Development Board, Road, Passekudah
★★★★★ 9.6 (47 reviews)

"I liked the hotel. The balcony is very comfortable and welcoming – a table, chairs, and a sofa. The sea is stunning! The beach is clean, the water is turquoise. Everything works in the room. It's clean! I'm a little tired, but so far so good. The food was à la carte. Delicious! I liked that the chef interacts with each guest. The menu is more European (onion soup (good!), pumpkin soup, pork with sweet potato puree), but Sri Lankan cuisine is always present in the main course! Shrimp was always on the menu. For Sri Lanka, the hotel is good. It has its own atmosphere and ambiance, which is what we come to this country for. This isn't a European 5-star hotel. Sri Lankan – yes! The restaurant staff is sometimes overly attentive. Since the hotel wasn't very busy, there was too much attention."

Passi Villa

Passi Villa

📍 No. 12, Beach Road, Passekudah
★★★★ 7.9 (15 reviews)

"Due to the low season, the hotel owner laid off the entire staff. Only a couple of people remained. The rooms weren't cleaned, much less changed the bed linens and towels. Water was brought once and only once, and even then, it was poured into glass bottles, so its quality is unknown. The room itself was filthy. For breakfast and dinner, we were taken to a neighboring 3-star hotel (run by the same owner). This was despite the fact that we had paid for 4-star accommodation. The food, to put it mildly, was disgusting. While there was anything left for dinner, the breakfasts were simply awful: burnt pancakes, the same waffles. Paltry fruit plates. The beach: the hotel simply doesn't have one. There are corals in the water, and the beach is littered with them, and no one cleans it. There are no sun loungers. The hotel is simply dead. The tour was an exorbitant price. In the evening, COWS were wandering around the hotel grounds! And no one bothered to clean up after them."

Kalkudah Beach House

Kalkudah Beach House

📍 Kalkudah Beach House, Kalkudah, Batticaloa
★★★★★ 10 (18 reviews)

"We visited Kalkudah Beach House last weekend and it turned out to be one of the best vacations we’ve had in a while. We had the most wonderful time during our 3 days. The weather was perfect. Service was stellar, food was incredible coupled with the most beautiful surroundings. It is the perfect place to simply unwind and relax. Can’t recommend enough! 🫶🏻✨"

Riviera Resort ★★
"Subject: Appreciation for Excellent Service and Support Dear Management Team, I would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation to Mr. Adhil, Resident Manager – Riviera Resort , Batticaloa, for his exceptional service, support, and professionalism. During our recent visit, Mr. Adhil kindly arranged dinner for 17 persons and generously waived the location/venue charge, which reflects his customer-focused approach and commitment to hospitality excellence.

"The hotel is excellent. The hotel infrastructure is decent, which can't be said about the area outside the hotel. The hotel complex is essentially located in a village. The staff is very friendly. The breakfasts are decent. The beach is guarded."

The Bay an Uga Experience -Pasikuda ★★★★★
"The hotel is beyond praise. The staff are trying. Very clean. The food is delicious, we had a set menu for dinner, the quality of good Moscow restaurants, presentation and taste, well done guys. The breakfast is simple, but we were never hungry, everything is high quality. The beach is soft sand, the ocean, small waves, warm, we left wanting to cry. We got there longer than usual, the driver made a wrong turn and we ended up at the hotel 9 hours after landing. 9 hours on the road, it seems like nothing will help heal this wound)) but yeah Bay did it. This is a paradise with great guys, let's tip them, they deserve it!"
