Villa Lighthouse is set around 5 minutes tuk kuk ride from Hikkaduwa. Therefore, close enough to enjoy the beach, bars and restaurants but far enough away to escape the hustle and bustle of the town. The villa is beautifully decorated to western tastes and has all the amenities you would want. The garden is lovely and overlooks a nearby lake. The owners dogs and cat made it a real home from home. The pool was cleaned daily as was our bedroom with a plentiful supply of towels. We enjoyed breakfast every day which was lovely and plentiful and also enjoyed one evening meal. You pay extra for the ingredients but not the cooking of it. Sri Lanka is a very safe country but there is also a night watchman to look after you as well. If you want to dine out but don't want to go into the town there is a lovely hotel/restaurant 2 doors down so that was also a bonus. Highly recommended.
My sister and I stayed at beautiful Villa Lighthouse for two months last year from September to November, 2018. Margareth is a wonderful, friendly person and communication with her was excellent throughout the booking process and beyond. She even came to visit us to see if all was well. The house is large and characterful and has a housekeeper, Lalany. She is a very special person! She cooked the most amazing meals for us daily and we felt really and truly looked after. The bedrooms are large and the beds are comfortable. There are three bathrooms. My ensuite bathroom in the bedroom upstairs was huge.The garden is really lovely with sunbeds, seating areas and a bungalow, overlooking Bird Lake. This was a great place to sit and watch the wildlife, especially kingfishers. The pool is very good and was used every day. The house comes with a friendly pool cleaner and a night watchman. You may also meet Sameera, a very kind and helpful man who has a tuk tuk. He will take you into town, about ten minutes away, or beyond. He is very knowledgeable about the area and will help in any way that he can. He is amazing. So, would we recommend Villa Lighthouse? Absolutely yes! It was the most incredible experience for us but the people there made it all the more special - not forgetting the dogs and the cat. Thank you to everyone at Villa Lighthouse, we miss you!

We had the Villa booked for two weeks and spend Christmas and New Year in Hikkaduwa. We have no complains about our stay: we were warmly welcomed by the owner and most nicest maid, who took care of us while we stayed there. She also did our laundry and cooked excellent food for a reasonable price, when we wanted to eat at the Villa. The house itself was perfect and clean, location is peaceful and safe, but close enough to Hikkaduwa city (30 min walk or TukTuk 5 min/2 euro).
We can warmly recommend this!!!

Great for families with superb housekeeping and facilities.
The location was really good and close to the town and beach. The housekeeper Lanelle was brilliant including her cooking, she could not do enough for us. There were 3 generations of our family together and we all had a fabulous 3 weeks. The owner was lovely and made us very welcome and it felt like our own home. Three dogs and a cat shared it with us. The pool was great and was well used and maintained daily. Definitely this place was great contributor towards a fabulous and relaxing holiday.
