from US$245/265; )
Beautiful mud-wall villas with minimalist yet luxurious furnishings. The bathrooms are
the real highlight and soaking in one of the steamy, flower-petal-covered outdoor baths
with someone special on a rainy afternoon is every bit as romantic as you'd expect.
There's a large range of treatments (available to nonguests from US$35), which are in-
cluded in the room price.
Eating
There are lots of very so-so restaurants and cafes stringing the main road along the beach,
with more exciting options in between.
Petit Restaurant
SRI LANKAN, SEAFOOD
11am-10pm)
Potted plants and flowers surround the entrance of this suitably small, family-run restaur-
ant. The menu skips through most of the Sri Lankan classics but is especially strong on
seafood; there are some more unusual dishes on offer such as the 'prawn fiesta' (essentially
prawns dusted in coconut shavings).
It's very popular so reservations are a good idea; be warned that the wait for your meal
can be a long one.
Dolce Vita
ITALIAN
This simple Italian-owned beachside cafe and restaurant is the kind of place where people
end up frittering away half a day sitting in the breezy shade drinking real coffee and fruit
juice and tucking into fair pizza and pasta dishes (as well as some local offerings).
