Asian Jewel Boutique Hotel

Charming secluded little place surrounded by lush gardens with lovely pool area, friendly helpful staff and great food. Just a short walk/bus to town so definitely worth being out near the lake and the tranquility. Very comfy rooms with lake outlook & bar fridge.

Although the rooms are a little dated, they are clean and spacious with a lovely large terrace in a lovely location overlooking a beautiful lake. We really enjoyed the view whilst having our morning coffee and saw various birds and parrots. The rooms are actually above a restaurant and just 7 minutes from town via tuk tuk. So if you are looking for character with a lovely chilled garden pool area look no further! All the staff are so friendly and the food is beyond delicious- as well as having a lovely breakfast here each morning, we enjoyed a fresh tuna salad and their amazing Sri Lankan curry. We enjoyed our stay here!

This was our second stay at Asian Jewel and it was every bit as enjoyable as the first. Our room (Jasmine) had a direct panoramic view of Bird Lake and we saw many different species of birds as well as small animals including chipmunks, water monitors, geckos (and a cobra one one day but soon banished by the staff...). The staff here are wonderful, friendly and welcoming and nothing too much trouble, and the food is excellent with both Sri Lankan and British options. We are vegetarians and they went out of their way to adapt meals pretty much to whatever suits, but the star of the show is the Sri Lankan rice and curry. It is in a peaceful location but only a short and cheap tuk tuk ride - around £1.75 - into the more hectic beach area.We would strongly recommend.

The rooms are a little tired and dated, but the whole experience of this hidden gem is fantastic. By far, the best food served in Hikkaduwa..... The only place to experience the Authentic Local Curry!!!! Amazing. Dale and his staff are absolutely great, Overlooks a lovely lake, while only a short tuk tuk away from the main beach area. This is a must visit, also welcomes guests for lunch or Dinner. you wont be disappointed!

We went to Asian Jewel last March and returned again today. Nothing has changed still the best in Hikkaduwa. We had a fab sunday lunch and spent the day in and around the pool. The food was top notch. The staff were great. Ended up staying until late evening. Definitely a recommendation too all. Dale and the team just make it work.
