Olhuveli Beach Resort & Spa Hotel Rating


Olhuveli was almost completely re-built after the tsunami. The owners took the chance to upgrade the entire resort and it is now in first class condition. It is quite definitely an upmarket 4 star. The lowest category rooms are well appointed 2 stories chalets with one room upstairs and one down. The new beach bungalows are all wooden and very attractive. The water bungalows are superbly designed with many unusual features. There are 2 excellent swimming pools, one associated with a bar and one with the gymnasium and health centre. The mandatory spa is good and the recreation centre, pool and gym is especially good. The Japanese restaurant is quite famous with 2 top class Japanese chefs in residence. The main public areas are on a wooden deck over the ocean and are very attractively designed. The transfer is by launch and a very simple half hour journey. All in all this is a top class 4 star resort and comes highly recommended.
