There's not a soul on the beach here in August. Heaven.

August is a time of strong waves in Bentota. My husband and I have managed to swim, but apart from us, we've only seen swimming in Bentota itself, and Villa Susi is a 10-minute bus ride from Bentota. It's kind of suburban. So - the owner met us in the street when we, tired, with suitcases, were shaving on the way from Induruwa station , since we arrived by train. We lived at Sussie's for five days - and it was very good. Because you're "out of season" in August - we were alone, no one else in the guesthouse or on the beach. Beach from the villa 30 seconds walk . for breakfast - chic plate with fruit, tea, coffee, pastries! For dinner - we bought a kilo of shrimp and asked Sussie to cook it for us two nights in a row... It was delicious. The room is a bit dark and needs repair. Be sure to close the door to the toilet so that insects do not run in, although there is a mosquito net over the bed, spread it and everything will be okay. Anyway - we liked everything, even a little tired room. But the main thing is the ocean - it's gorgeous here. (but in August waves) approach to the ocean - through the jungle..

Must stay !

Liked: The accommodation was amazing. Super good location with direct access to the beach. U have more or less your own beach for yourself. The host and his family are super kind, welcoming and supportive. They had recommendations on different levels what were super helpful. They also offered a airport shuttle to an amazing price what was unbeatable. The friendliness of host and his family made the stay truly remarkable. Recommendations for this accommodation on each level.
