Everything was divine! Staff was helpful, kind, and extraordinarily friendly, made lots of friends. Location cannot be topped, beach front to an exquisite beach and lovely pool with comfortable loungers. Rooms are tastefully designed with comfortable beds, lovely bathrooms and so near to the ocean you will have the best sleep ever listening to the sound of crashing waves. Unforgettable experience. Thanks to all!

This is the 3rd time that I am returning to Halcyon. It really is the best hotel on Mawella beach (and maybe even in whole of southern province :) The hotel is beautifully and tastefully decorated, the staff are super friendly, including owner Xander, it's absolutely right on the beach , the food is great. What more to say, it's a little peace of heaven :)

11/10!!!!

An absolutely perfect stay. This hotel truly feels like you’re staying in your friends villa, if your friend provided a 5 star service! All staff were incredible, rooms spectacular, food was amazing, and beaches/activities in the local area are second to none. Cannot recommend this hotel enough. If you are looking to stay anywhere in this area and do not stay at Halcyon Mawella, you have made a mistake!

One of Sri Lanka's best kept secrets!

We had a great stay at Halcyon Mawella. It's a perfect location - long walks along the unspoilt beach were fantastic, the cocktails were done of the best we've had in Sri Lanka, the room was great and all off the staff were super friendly! We really didn't want to leave!

Peaceful and idyllic

Very peaceful, very relaxing with very kind staff who have been ever so helpful with an issue of mine which was totally unrelated to the hotel. I definitely recommend a stay at the Halcyon if you are in the beautiful south Of Sri Lanka.
