Guests can enjoy a quiet and lovely stay with the soothing sound of waves providing a relaxing backdrop, while the stylish decoration, garden, and pool complement the picturesque environment. The hotel features a private beach that many find charming; however, it is known for being quite small with large rocks, making it less ideal for swimming.

Overall, Deep Blue offers a refreshing retreat with varied adventures for beachgoers willing to venture beyond its immediate surroundings.

Outdoor Pool
The outdoor pool at Deep Blue is an enchanting feature that enhances the overall allure of this Sri Lankan getaway. Nestled within a beautifully landscaped garden brimming with lush palm trees, the pool area offers a delightful escape with ample seating for relaxation. The aesthetics blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, providing a private sea access point that adds to its charm, even though swimming in the ocean directly from the villa isn't advised. The vibe exudes a wonderful Ibiza-style atmosphere, complete with impressively designed units and swinging beds on the terrace for an extra touch of luxury. Guests can enjoy the soothing water of the well-maintained pool, complemented by a beachfront area boasting stunning white-blue ocean views.
