Sapphire Seas Beachfront Hotel

We stayed 5 nights in the ground floor corner sea view room which was not long enough. The staff were great, the room was a good size with 4 poster bed seating area and TV, they have is a great swimming pool and the beach is picture postcard. It is a little a couple of Kilometre's from the main area with bars, restaurants and shops but only £1 in a Tuk-Tuk and there is a large supermarket just 100 metres away. Would happily go back

Had a fantastic stay for 3 nights at this lovely property located right by the beach, from waking up to the lovely sea view to taking long strolls on the beach and enjoying scrumptious Srilanka cuisine, everything was perfect! Thank you to the entire team at Sapphire seas!

This hotel has a nice, quiet location, with spacious rooms, ocean views and comfy beds. The pool is smaller but clean and perfect for relaxing. The hotel feels like a well-maintained 3-star. There are many great restaurants nearby, and the town center is a walkable 25-30 minutes along the coast. The staff were friendly and helpful, though their enthusiasm came across as forced to us. Some people are ok with it apparently. We didn’t have lunch and dinner at the hotel restaurant given the inflated prices – there are more affordable restaurants nearby that prepare tasty food. The included breakfast was decent but basic for the price, with the same eggs, toast, fruit and coffee/tea/juice every day. They didn’t even offer the juice immediately, but only after we asked as my partner doesn’t drink coffee and tea at all. Because you don’t pay for the juice during breakfast, you get a small cup. The hotel tends to promote their services, like a Chris**as party (50 dollars per person) or organised tours. While understandable, it felt a bit much at times. We were asked about attending the Chris**as party a couple of times even though we said no every time they asked. The internet was ok most of the time, but there were moments when it didn’t work at all. While the hotel met my needs in terms of comfort and location, the on-site dining options could benefit from offering more competitive pricing.

We stayed at the Sapphire Seas for three nights when we first arrived in Sri Lanka for a one-month stay. It was the perfect place for us to acclimatise to the country. The hotel is right on the beach, with gorgeous views from the pool over the sea. We had breakfast and lunch there and both were good - the Sri Lankan breakfast is excellent. It’s located a little out of Hikkaduwa - a 20-minute walk along the beach - which suited us well. Our room overlooked the sea and had everything we needed. The staff were very friendly and happy to help and we met the owner which was lovely. The only thing which wasn’t amazing was the massage - more of a gentle stroke than a proper massage. But everything else was lovely. Thanks for a great stay.

Paradise Just returned from a 10-night stay at Sapphire Seas boutique hotel, our 4th visit to the hotel and it did not disappoint. There is something truly magical about Sapphire Seas that keeps drawing us back, the location of the hotel right is on the beachfront with views of the Indian Ocean, a perfectly sized swimming pool and plunge area facing the Ocean, a beautiful beach that forces you to do nothing except to admire the amazing sunsets that bless this beautiful part of Southern Sri Lanka whilst sipping a cocktail from the beachside bar in the hotel. This is heaven! What better way to start your day than yoga with Jeanette (Hotel Owner and fellow Yogi ) in the purpose-built Yoga room at the hotel and ending the day with an amazing massage in the new spa at the hotel - the spa area is beautiful and well worth a visit the aroma of Lemongrass and Lavender is very inviting and very affordable. The rooms at the hotel are beautifully decorated, all have a sea view/pool view very good sized with balconies and, beautiful positioned bathrooms. Food is amazing at the hotel and in my view the best menu in Hikkaduwa, catering for all tastes and preferences, Nothing is too much trouble for Jeanette and the Team who all go out of their way to make your stay memorable and enjoyable. We will be returning next year to the gem that is Sapphire Seas.

We loved everything about this hotel, & would definitely recommend it. we had a wonderful view of the pool & sea from our balcony and the room was spotlessly clean & a very good size, with safe, & tea/coffee making facilities provided The bed was huge & comfortable & the staff cleaned and serviced the room daily. Jeanette the owner was really lovely, she is a Canadian and really very helpful, friendly & accommodating. We enjoyed the food here very much!! Especially the fish curry, chicken schwama, prawn & avocado salad and much more! Everything was reasonably priced! The breakfast was served overlooking the ocean and the staff were wonderful, service was prompt and the food was fresh, hot & tasty. The sun beds were very comfortable placed overlooking the beach, stunning! I can’t think of one thing to criticise tbh. 🤔 We were sorry to be leaving, but are visiting more of Sri Lanka, which is a clean & beautiful country

What a wonderful place to stay and spend some relaxing days on the quiet beach! Sapphire Seas is located right on the edge of the Indian Ocean, Hikkaduwa is only a short tuktuk ride away. It has a nice and well maintained pool, a large sundeck which is the ideal place to watch the marvelous sunsets at night. Rooms – all with sea view - are very spacious, clean and have all the facilities. Staff is very friendly and helpfull. They will go to great lengths in order to be helpful. Special thanks to Shelton and his colleagues! Chef Mayesh makes the most delicious dishes worthy of a first class restaurant. Thank you for sharing the secrets of your recipes. Special thanks to Mrs Jeanette, owner/ manager: you and your staff have succeeded in turning a hotel into a home away from home… Istutiy! Hoping to see you all again!

This hotel is a fantastic find for a beach front vacation in Sri Lanka. The staff were so friendly and helpful, and we were made to feel so welcome. Our sea view corner room was so spacious and well cleaned every day. Jeanette who runs the hotel is simply a gem, a genuinely lovely person who also happens to take a great yoga class ! This proved to be the perfect relaxing start to our trip in Sri Lanka.

Excellent hotel with kind staff, very clean, the photos of hotel on agoda are the same as in the reality, directly on the beach, clean pool and amazing food, comfortable rooms with all equipment - dry hair, shampoo, body milk. We recomended everyone.
