A truly exceptional stay at Whisky Point Resort! Whisky Point Resort is one of those rare places that gets everything right. The standard of service is outstanding — warm, attentive, and genuinely caring from the moment you arrive. The owners Nicola and Anna and fantastic staff create such a welcoming atmosphere that you instantly feel at home. The location is unbeatable. The beaches here are stunning — clean, quiet, and beautifully unspoiled. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and stepping straight onto soft sand felt like a dream. It’s the perfect escape if you’re looking for peace, nature, and a slower rhythm. The resort itself is thoughtfully designed, spotless, and full of charm. You can tell how much pride the team takes in maintaining the space and ensuring every guest has a memorable experience. We came for 4 nights and ended up staying for 9! Highly recommended!

We came to Whisky Point Resort for 4 days and ended up staying for 9! It is officially the monsoon season at the moment in this area. In our 9 days we didn’t have a drop of rain and had sunshine all day every day so definitely don’t dismiss it at this time of year. The other advantage of that is that it’s lovely and quiet. We visited Arugam Bay which was fun for an afternoon but came back being so pleased that we were staying outside of it a bit. We went on a lagoon safari and didn’t see another soul on the lake and the beach was always so quiet and peaceful. The hotel is right on a beautiful wide, long, sandy beach. It is cleaned every day and not just directly in front of the hotel as is often the case but in both directions as well. Owners Nico and Anna are really welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed chatting with them very much. They are also happy to organise tuk tuks, taxis, excursions etc. The service from all of the staff is incredible. What a luxury to be able to just drop a WhatsApp and have food or drinks delivered to wherever you are, be it on a sunbed or your balcony! The dining experience is also top notch. Impeccable service of course and the most delicious meals. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Everything is absolutely spot on.

We had a wonderful stay at Whiskey Point Resort. It’s a beautiful property with plenty of open space and a stunning sea-facing view that instantly makes you feel relaxed. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the team genuinely cares about their guests and always tries to give their best. One thing that really stood out was how accommodating they were. They kindly gave my brother an early check-in without any extra charge, which we truly appreciated. The owner is clearly very focused on guest satisfaction and making sure everyone feels comfortable and welcome. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. A special highlight was the bonfire they arranged just for me and my wife — it was such a romantic and memorable experience. A special mention goes to the manager, Murthala, who was incredibly hospitable, always pleasant, and ready to help without ever saying no. His attitude really made a difference to our stay. The food was enjoyable, especially the pizza and the fresh juices, which were delicious. While the set menu quality could be improved a bit, it didn’t take away from the overall experience. Overall, it was a perfect and very relaxing stay. We truly enjoyed our time here and would happily recommend Whiskey Point Resort to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway by the sea.

We loved it here so much! We visited in February which they call out of season because the sea isn’t good for surfing but for us it was the best time as it was lovely and quiet and peaceful. The whole place is looked after very well by Nico and Anna, who are so friendly and fun and love to spend time with guests, they definitely enhanced our experience of staying here. Rooms are lovely and spotlessly clean. Every member of staff is delightful and the talented chef creates wonderful dishes and is happy for ad hoc requests. The resort is beautiful and set on a lovely, very long beach so it’s easy to go for a nice long walk. Nico and Anna are happy to organise a Tuk Tuk for wherever you want to go, it’s also in easy reach of the parks for safari. Would definitely recommend.

I had booked an upper cabana for 3 nights which coincided with the time a cyclone was approaching in November. I nearly cancelled but the manager advised it would be a great place to just sit back and relax, as this was what I was after, and he was completely right. Though the first 3 days were not the best due to the harsh weather affecting the whole place, cabanas and the ability to sleep, the cyclone kind of forced me to extend my stay there, and despite there being no electricity and therefore limited food and activities available, the staff really went above and beyond to make my stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible during these circumstances, preparing me leis from fresh frangipanis, serving me coconuts, the manager driving me around to introduce the area etc. So eventually, I ended up staying for 8 nights, being the only one at the resort, flowing around the place with frangipanis in my hair, coffee in my hand, butterflies accompanying, staff being like a family - as if I was home. The whole place is super beautiful and peaceful. Nicely planted palm trees swaying by the ocean, sandy beach where you can chill under little huts. There are only a total of 10 rooms which makes the place more private. The cabanas look very cute, have a cosy and earthy vibe, and are made with detailed attention to sustainability. Just be minded they are partly open so you might need earplugs for a better sleep. They have a nice little restaurant at spot offering delicious food, including wood fired pizza. Fresh chilled water is available at all times. They also have a designated outdoors area with equipment for doing a workout, practicing yoga etc. Weather you stay during the popular surfing season to enjoy more activities and a lively vibe or prefer the offseason for more peace and quiet in a serene environment, in all ways it is a beautiful place to relax and unwind.
