Truly heavenly. The location, the villa and the staff made our stay just perfect. The beach is pristine and set in a beautiful cove. It’s so peaceful with the perfect combination of sea, beach and mangroves. Really beautiful. We stayed in the Kurumba House and honestly I cannot compliment the staff enough. A particular call out to Donald who looked after us and made sure we wanted for nothing. Our privacy was respected and Donald shared his WhatsApp number so we could message when we wanted something. He made sure the villa was always perfect for us and when we wanted time on the beach that we were also looked after. All of the staff have a wonderful nature and were so welcoming. The main villa is beautiful and from what we could see all of the rooms were really lovely. They work on small number of rooms with lots of different living spaces so it feels boutique. Kurumba house was stunning. We loved the outdoor veranda and the private pool, which was a sublime temperature. Whilst we were at the beach for sunset, the house lights were put on and lots of candles made it a lovely welcome back. Meal times are always flexible around your time table so didn’t feel rushed to a schedule and we ate at the House with Donald looking after us and making sure whilst we ate, our bedroom got the turn down service. We were really sorry to leave. Thanks to all of the team. It was wonderful

Perfect, peaceful luxury

My wife and I had an amazing stay for our honeymoon. The location is so peaceful, with the beach behind the hotel being so beautiful. The food prepared at the hotel was simply stunning! We had a daily set menu with choices, and the menu was great, food portions were generous and tasted amazing. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The only slight negative about this place is the wifi is very temperamental (not always a bad thing). It can feel a little sleepy through the day, but if you’re looking for undisturbed peacefulness, this place is perfect!

Quiet boutique villa

Beautiful villa with comfortable rooms and an amazing bathroom! Direct beach access at a swimmable beach and lovely pool too. Breakfasts were tasty, we didn’t eat other meals at the property. One thing to note is food and beverage pricing isn’t all inclusive , taxes and service fees are added on top. staff were super friendly and couldn’t help enough.

It doesnt get any better than this

To say this place is spectacular is an understatement. We booked for 2 days and extended for 2 more as we simply fell in love with it straight away. The property sits on a gorgeous quiet beach with blue water, rolling waves and lovely soft sand - you cannot believe that it feels like your own beach! Our room/s are decorated beautifully we no details spared - your privacy is guaranteed with only 8 rooms and discreetly partitioned if you want you own space. Meals are served on your own balcony whenever you need. The icing on the cake at Taru is the exceptional service - always generous, helpful and relaxed. We have been totally spoilt rotten for 4 days. Thank you so much to Mal, Rupa, Sanjeeva and the team for looking after us so well. We will be certain to return soon. If you are in the area and considering Taru - spoil yourself for a few days - you wont regret it!
