We stayed at Whiskey Point during low season and for two nights we had the place all for ourselves. The atmosphere was awesome and despite of staying only for three nights, we felt like family with the staff guys. They had really helpful tips for us. One of our kids best memories of the entire trip is making Pizza in the wood fired pizza oven at Whiskey Point. The Pizza by the way was really good. I also imagine this to be a nice and quieter place during high season compared to Arugam Bay. At the same time Arugam Bay is only a short TukTuk ride away and easy to reach for a snack or surf session. We would definitely come back

Understated perfection. Totally in touch with the natural beauty , the buildings and natural gardens blending in to the surroundings. Fantastic owners/hosts who are passionate about everything they provide and nothing is too much trouble. Lovely rooms airy and immaculate. Fantastic quality of food. The perfect place to unwind and relax. Amazing beach. We spent 4 nights.. would have stayed longer. We stayed out of surf season, just 3 or 4 of the 10 rooms occupied. The weather was perfect. Amazing holistic Ayurveda treatments 5 minutes up the beach …. The best.

The food was excellent quality and well priced. The pizzas amazing. The property is known for its Italian themed menu. I loved everything I ate but my criticism would be lacking salad options. The seating in dining area could be more relaxing and comfortable…. That said it wouldn’t put me off and we are going back next year!

This is PARADISE! exactly like I have seen it described in books. Everything is just created to make you not want to ever leave ❤️ me and my fiancé had such a great experience here. When we have arrived, we had a bad cold, and everyone has mobilized to make us feel better: pills, teas, all kinds of ayurvedic medicines were given to us to make us feel better. I felt like we were at our parents homes, and they're going above and beyond to make us feel better. Rooms: we got an upgrade to a room with bathroom and, even though we paid for the lower one, we were offered for free the upper one - very nice gesture 👍 we never slept better - ocean sound and breeze, there is a balcony for each cabana. Super clean, great design, bathrooms are big. Lovely :) The food: Italian base, I had the best pizza ever. Also, we love soup, so their chicken soup is perfect. Staff: amazing. Also, the owners are very fun and welcoming, it was a pleasure to meet them. Activities: the complex is at the ocean front. So we bathed and sun bathed, the weather was amazing. Also, you can learn how to surf, get a massage, play board games, go to safari, go into the lagoon on the beach or by boat, tuktuk to PottuVill, which is much better than Arugam Bay, being more local. I don't have enough good words for this accomodation. I am now looking at options to come back in Jan-Feb and stay for longer than 3 days 😄

The only thing, but this not particularly negative - there is no hot water. But at 35 plus degrees, it really does not matter :)

We had an incredible stay at Whisky Point in December and want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Annushka and Nicola for being extraordinary hosts. They went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. Their staff was also exceptionally friendly and attentive. The beachfront house was amazing, offering a peaceful retreat even during the off-season. Despite visiting in December, we enjoyed a variety of activities, including an excellent yaga class with annushka, a lagoon tour, a safari, and a trip to Elephant Rock. Each adventure was well-organized and added a unique touch to our holiday. The food was outstanding—authentic Italian dishes with delicious pizza, superb coffee, and a fantastic breakfast that we could enjoy either by the sea, at the restaurant or in the comfort of our room. The entire team ensured everything was perfect. The property itself was immaculately maintained, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere. Highlights of our stay included an evening bonfire by the beach and a cozy movie night, both of which made our time there extra special. Everyone truly went the extra mile to take care of us. We highly recommend Whisky Point for anyone seeking a combination of relaxation, adventure, and warm hospitality. Thank you again, Anushka, Nikola, and the team, for a wonderful experience!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Whisky Point Resort, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone!! A special shoutout to Mufaris and Murthala for their outstanding and precise service—they went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. The highlight of our stay was the incredible food and drinks. The iced tea was the best we’ve ever tasted, and the pizza was absolutely divine! Every bite and sip transported us to a place of pure bliss. Whisky Point Resort truly feels like a little paradise nestled within an already paradise-like island. The serene ambiance, combined with the warmth and hospitality of the staff, makes this a must-visit destination. Thank you for such an unforgettable experience. We’ll be back for sure!

It's a small resort situated right on the beach. With very few guests, there’s ample space for solitude. You can fully unwind, being close to nature, with everything designed to help you feel grounded. The couple who own the place go above and beyond to ensure you have the best possible stay.

Be mindful of which type of cabana you book. Some are enclosed and have private bathrooms, while others are open and have shared facilities. Both options work well. We stayed in the open cabanas and enjoyed it a lot.

I ended up stay at this resort for two days. the scenery is stunning, very close to the beach. the accomodation is clean and comfortable while still being part of nature. the service is exceptional, the staff are willing to help with anything you need. the food was incredible, mostly itialian style food. the owner is italian so you can be assured that the food is authentic. the pizza's are amazing and made in the pizza oven on site. the property is also home two very friendly dogs and a adorable cat. I can say enough good things about this resort. 10/10 , would recommend!

This is by far the best accommodation we’ve been to in Sri Lanka. Even though some people avoid this area during February as it’s considered low season, we had the best experience. It was quiet, sunny and relaxing. Anna and Nicolo are the best hosts and help out with whatever you need; surfing, safari, transport, etc. Their restaurant has delicious traditional pizza, pasta and more. Besides that, we saw a whole range of wildlife in the area, including free roaming elephants and crocodiles. After 3 nights I decided to extend my stay in Sri Lanka and come back for another full week at Whisky Point. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience!

If you’re looking for buzzing restaurants and nightlife or many other tourists around you, this area might be a bit too quiet.

We didn't want to leave, what an amazing place to stay - it looks even more incredible than the photos. Nicola and Anna are so welcoming, kind and knowledgeable about the area. Mufaris, Murthala and all the team at whisky point are incredibly helpful and attentive. There are great waves for surfing both for beginner and intimidate just 15 minute walk down the beach at Pottuvil point. We found it an incredibly accessible location for all the main beaches but are so pleased we opted for Whisky Point over Arugam Bay as it was much quieter and relaxed which suited us well - we loved being able to fall asleep to the sound of the waves. The food on site is great, and there are good options for reseraunts serving Sri Lankan food and fish dishes just a short walk away. We hope to come back again one day, thanks again for such a wonderful stay!

Whisky Point is the perfect tropical paradise. Quiet and huge beach, lovely garden, comfortable bungalows and delicious food. We absolutely enjoyed every moment of our stay. First, we want to compliment the staff and especially the owners. Nicola and Anna made our stay to a magical time. We enjoyed the morning yoga and swing yoga classes with Anna. She is an absolute optimist and inspired us with her attitude to life. Nicolas way of organizing helped us to have an easy and uncomplicated time. They also organized everything from surfing lessons to a special birthday trip and treated us like family. We never had such amazing hosts. Everyone else working there was professional, open minded and extremely friendly. If you want to have more of a party vibe - just rent a scooter (Nicola or Anna can organize one) and have a short scooter trip to arugam bay. There you’ll find a lot of restaurants and bars. We think there is no such place in Sri Lanka where you can enjoy a quiet beach, such beautiful surrounding but be still nice connected to another city. We are looking forward to visit whisky point again!

We just stayed for 5 days - definitely we should have stayed longer.
