  Our stay in kumbura villa was so special. From the moment you pass the gate , see the staff welcoming you, walk to the main house and face the pool,... read more we knew we had picked the right place for our vacation.

The whole house set in this lush garden / jungle is magical, full of birds, peacocks, monkeys. Mangula made delicious meals despite one of us being gluten free.

The rooms are spotless, all very designed, super comfortable bed and the usb charging points were a great added bonus. We felt so welcome and do hope to come back again soon

  My husband and I chose this villa to celebrate his birthday during our big trip to Sri Lanka with our friends. And we all loved it! Cecile and her team... read more helped me order a cake and organize a wonderful dinner.
All the team was incredibly friendly! And the villa itself was just amazing! Stylish, spacious, private and very clean! We watched peacocks and monkeys in the mornings and enjoyed the silence and sounds of the jungle in the evenings.

I recommend it 100%!

  This is the place to be ! A little away from the bustling street, but close enough to all the beach cafes etc. Greta host and an excellent house keeping... read more team ! Loved the hospitality right from the beginning, especially Mrs. Manjula and Mr. Lakshman were expertly polite and helpful.

The place is mini bird sanctuary with peacocks calling throughout the day. Would definitely recommend everyone to stay with them.

  Just perfect! We loved the beautiful house and its pool. The staff is so sweet and we felt very well accommodated.

  Kumbura Villa is just perfect. A fabulously appointed place with the loveliest people to look after you. So much to do nearby: lots of beaches, trips, beautiful scenery, and, of... read more course, Galle. A fantastic place for ourselves and our family to stay for two weeks. We'll be back!

  This is our second time in Sri Lanka as we really love this country with all the things to do and see and people kindness but this time at Kumbura... read more villa everything was really beyond our expectations!!The property is wonderful and so quiet but at the same time you can reach the village in few minutes and in 30 minutes by tuck tuck you are in Galle. Service is fantastic. A few years ago we stayed in Amangalla which is a fantastic hotel but we enjoyed Kumbura villa much more. We felt as King and Queen and at the same time we felt at home like in a whole family. Manjula the manager and chef of the property is a magic woman so kind with you , you cannot imagine. Her cuisine is wonderful. She could really open a Michelin star restaurant everywhere. She knows plenty of recipes and she knows how to adapt them to foreign tastes. Lackshman the gardener is the smile of the house and Achila cleans the house beyond normal expectations.We had such a good time with them. We hope to come back soon!!

  Paradise Found: Our Unforgettable Stay at Kurumba Villa

Just back from the most incredible 3 days at Kurumba Villa with our family (6 adults and 3 little ones aged... read more 3, 4, and 5). It was the perfect end to our Sri Lankan adventure.
The villa itself is stunning - beautifully decorated and spacious enough for our whole family to spread out. But the real highlight was the incredible hospitality. Manjula, Laxman, and Achini felt more like family than staff.

Manjula's cooking was out of this world – the lobster curry & Passionfruit mousse were absolutely brilliant.

We also treated ourselves to in-villa body scrubs, which were incredibly relaxing and a much-needed treat after all the traveling.

Cecile and Jack were super helpful with planning our stay and giving us the information on the local area.

If you're looking for a truly unforgettable escape with top-notch service, look no further. Kurumba Villa is the place to be.

  This place was paradise, we just checked out and didn't want to leave. Stunning surroundings, with many peacocks and monkeys regularly appearing on the villa roof tops.... read more /> The villa was immaculate and the service from Manjula and the team was 10/10.

We will be back, thanks for everything !!

  Simply divine.
First words must go to Manjula. Even though she was praised in many of the reviews, I was still blown away by her kindness, engagement... read more and her proactiveness to make sure we had a wonderful stay. She is also an amazing cook. Our family spanned in age from a 2 years old to 65 year old and some had American sensibilities towards food and others Indian. And everyone was thrilled with the food.

Cecile is a very good communicator and has built and designed the house beautifully. The view/nature outside the house is stunning.

Not far from Galle and having access to her Tuk Tuk driver made things a breeze.

It was a wonderful stay. A perfect place for our extended family to gather from different parts of the world to spend time together.
Highly recommend.

Tout, absolument TOUT a été parfait (et nous sommes... read more habitués à séjourner dans de très beaux lieux), des premiers échanges avec Cécile à l’accueil merveilleux de Manjula et son équipe, en passant par les conseils et l’assistance de Jack.

Et bien sûr, la maison !!!! Les photos parlent d’elles-mêmes : elle est magnifique, située dans un cadre de sublime, et une atmosphère extrêmement sereine s’en dégage.
J’oubliais la délicieuse cuisine de Manjula, toujours à l’écoute de nos goûts et nos désirs…
Nous avons hâte de pouvoir revenir, merci à tous du fond du cœur de la part de Josselin, Héloïse, Armand et Arsène

Cecile is a highly responsive and friendly host. She provided lots of very helpful and reassuring information ahead of our arrival and was contactable throughout our stay for local tips.

The villa staff were amazing - always on hand when we needed them, but never obtrusive. Manjula and her team prepared fantastic meals (do try the passionfruit mousse) and organised tuk-tuk rides when we needed them. They were delightful with our 6-year-old son.

We were in Sri Lanka for a special anniversary celebration and our stay at Kumbura Villa was just what we hoped for.

  Incroyable calme dépaysement total

  Our stay at Kumbura was magical, Cecile and Jack were always at hand if we needed any help or advice.
