Araliya Beach Resort & Spa

We had a wonderful buffet experience at Hotel Araliya, and a big part of it was thanks to Chef Chamindha. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The variety was excellent, and you could really tell that a lot of care and attention went into preparing each item. Chef Chamindha was also friendly, approachable, and passionate about the food, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Thank you for the delicious meal and your dedication to quality. Highly recommended, and we look forward to dining here again!

Araliya beach hotel is such close place to my heart as I go there very often with my family for most of the events throughout the year. Went there today for my birthday dinner with my parents and the hospitality from the moment we entered the hotel was just ❤️ Food and everything was sooooo good but on top of that the staff was so nice and kind. They did their best to give such a good service specially Aslam, Thishira, Rusini, Achini and Hashini were the best!!!! ❤️ Wasn’t expecting but I got a bday cake too!!! 🤫 Yaaaaaaaaaaay! Definitely going to come more and more! 🫶

We had an amazing stay at Araliya Beach Resort & Spa Unawatuna! The hotel is absolutely beautiful, the rooms were clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The overall atmosphere of the resort was relaxing and luxurious. The customer service was truly excellent from the moment we arrived.

Fantastic place to visit with excellent customer care. Randula serves us considering us as very special for the hotel, while Aliza took us to the room and explained everything even under very very busy conditions at the hotel.

Excellent amenities, a beautiful location, and a wonderful ambiance made for a truly relaxing stay. The service was exceptional throughout. Our two-day stay was made unforgettable thanks to Rasanga and the team, Aslam and the team, Chandran and the team, and the chefs who went above and beyond to exceed our expectations. Thank you all for your warm hospitality and dedication. Wishing the entire team continued success and all the very best

The hotel is so spacious and,beautiful .But extremely dissapoitning because when we came after dinner there is no water in all 3 of our rooms.Not even for the last 1 hr no one fixed the issue.We are still here without a drop of water in the toilet and washroom.It's such a shame that this 5 star hotel doesn't have anyne to attend to this very urgent matter.

Everything was awesome. The staff was very accomodating and helped our stay to be a perfect gateway. I was travelling with my non verbal active son and they were patient and helped me where they can. I would totally recommend this resort to any parents with autistic kids or need special food. The chef even prepared a special blended food for my son twice as he only eats those. The buffet was great and the child's club will give parents a break to enjoy their wonderful drinks. Sandaru, and the reception staffs was very helpful. Special shout out to the life guard at the infinity pool on Friday 26th June morning as he gave us a good care. Finally while dining we saw a group of school kids were there and the total menu was catered for kids and beautiful presentations by Chef Nirosh Namadagala who were the director that day. Totally recommend and it made me very happy. Definitely a must come place every year especially for foreigners.

Our stay was mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable but there are few ares that need improvement. We booked 3 double & 2 triple rooms .The major inconvenience was that triple & double rooms were given ONLY one room key, which was very inconvenient for us. What made the situation more frustrating was that no one was willing to take ownership or provide a practical solution. Customer service needs significant improvement, particularly in handling guest concerns with accountability and willing to help. Addressing these issues would greatly improve the overall guest experience.

Room was great sea view, pool amazing staff helpful. The highlight was the cooking demonstration which was great fun definitely should give it a go Nirosh the culinary director and his team were amazing and gave us some great veggie recipes. They went through everything step by step and also let us make some dishes.

​Excellent stay with top-notch service! From the moment we checked in, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Specially Aslam, Chef Amila, Chef Manjula and Chalani provided an excellent service. Rooms were spotless, and the service was incredibly prompt. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay at Araliya Resort. This is a luxury resort with beautiful rooms with views over the Indian Ocean or the beach. The rooms were large, luxurious and very clean. But what made the stay so special was the amazing staff who were nothing but helpful and who would go out of their way to ensure our comfort and happiness. All of the staff were excellent but in particular Don looked after us so well and we are so grateful to him and to all the Araliya Resort staff. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone who’s travelling to Sri Lanka.

We stayed here for my husband's 50th birthday as part of a group tour. I reached out online before our trip and they were really helpful. When we arrived a wonderful staff member, Divya, looked after us, showed us our room and facilities and said she would help if we needed anything. Divya was fantastic. I talked to her a number of times checking on birthday arrangements and she just took care of everything, even giving a birthday card. Thank you Araliya and especially Divya for providing a great experience.

We stayed for a very relaxing 3 nights in June, all of the staff were kind, attentive and knowledgeable, going above and beyond, they were happy to recommend good places for food and activities. We had the signature massage for ultimate relaxation, it was wonderful! The room was beautiful and well appointed, the waterfall shower was particularly lovely. Special mention to Hasitha who made up our room beautifully and left behind clever towel art animals. The sea view was magical, we sat on our balcony and watched a troop of purple faced langurs moving through the trees below. It was wonderful to have such easy access to the beach, we swam in the sea and the soundtrack of prayers from the Buddhist temple next door in the evening made it extra special. We highly recommend the local cuisine in the hotel restaurants, especially the hoppers at breakfast, the offerings were varied and tasty with large servings. Special thanks to chef Chaminda, we had a perfect breakfast at olives restaurant. The seafood grill restaurant was also lovely, with a variety of fresh caught fish on offer. The hotel was quieter due to visiting during the week and in the rainy season which made the trip feel all the more exclusive and it was a bit windy and there was the occasional downpour but this did little to dampen our enjoyment of the resort and surroundings.

The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming as the staff, including Roshan, was quite welcoming and assisted us with the checking in and checking out process. Overall, it was a lovely stay and I would recommend everyone to spend their vacation at Araliya Beach Resort

Great experience indeed. Room was kept clean and amenities included were good. Great atmosphere. Food was also good overall. Restaurant manager Mr Aslam ensured that all guests are well looked after and ensured 100% satisfaction of all guests. Indeed the hotel industry needs these kind of people which is definitely a great investment to the respective hotel. Constructive feedback: Lights need to be installed in the room balcony. Also it would be great if a few menu cards are kept in the room for in-house guests to order meals. Also I faced a big issue when doing a payment online where I couldn’t do the full payment and had to do the payment in 2 transactions which disabled me from gaining the bank offer. Please keep options in the website where clients can do full payment if they wish.

It was the best resort ever. The service the ambience the resort everything was just🤩.the beach was also clean and they gave us towels also and the it had volley ball court and swimming pool bar and many more also in infinity pool . If you’re travelling to galle Unawatuna please stay in araliya

Overall 100% special tnx to * Aslam * chef Himal *Rashmi and * Raveesh gave us the best hospitality tnx again and see u next time for sure!

Unforgettable experience is the phrase that would be apt for describing our stay at Araliya Beach Resort. The resort bestows a bouquet of facilities like spa, pool, kids area, multiple bar and restaurant, fruit mart. Their breakfast buffet has a wide spread of dishes ranging from continental to local Sri Lankan. In case you want a change from the hotel menu, there are multiple options for dining available right outside the hotel at walking distance. Located on the coast of Indian ocean, the rooms have a grand balcony opening up to a picturesque view of the blue ocean and green palm trees. We had the opportunity to be part of the Srilankan New year Avurudu games. The hotel staff is friendly, polite and helpful. The rooms are other facilities are cleaned regularly. Special Thanks to Mr. Thilina at the breakfast buffet restaurant and Ms Divya with guest relations, for making our stay pleasant.

Always Araliya beach resort and spa Unawatuna is a great place to spend with your love ones This is our 2nd visit Had greater experience in terms of f & b, where we got plenty of support from Aslam (Restaurant Manager), Sathira,Nikini and Minoli. All of them are so friendly and supportive to all guests and no delays at all. Further, they have got an infinity pool at 12th floor, which is available for special rooms. There is a greater view and good exeperiance. This is a good choice where it is created the value for money.

We stayed for two night at Araliya Beach Resort, and the staff was really friendly especially Sathira. Food was average and wish they had more options in their buffet and more quantity too.

It was a very good experience and has a very friendly staff especially Sathira
