Three Gables Review WOW! A heart warming, soul reviving, home away from home, luxury indulgent experience. Of all the luxury accommodation and 5 star hotels I have stayed in as a Sri Lankan Australian coming to holiday in Sri Lanka over my entire lifetime - this has been my all time favourite. I have not one bad thing to say about Three Gables, in fact it was The Perfect luxury holiday experience! As soon as we walked in we were quite literally stunned by the visual feast that is the infinite pool overlooking the private beach. The architecture and interior design has been expertly executed in a heavenly fashion by none other than the legendary Geoffrey Bawa’s last student Vinod Jayasinghe with dreamy paintings by the renowned Sri Lankan artist Ajith Susantha! The place is even better than it looks in the pictures, with an unmatched peaceful ambiance. Also we were so lucky to see heaps of sea turtles swimming in the waves there!! Unparalleled level of service and hospitality. As soon as we got there they upgraded us free of charge into the Premium King Room with the Bath tub. The staff are so personable, the kind you can have genuine long conversations with, Dinuka especially! From the staff, we heard nothing but high praise and admiration of the staff of their Head Chairman who obviously values them very highly, which makes a world of a difference. When staff feel valued they are genuinely passionate about their work which is highly evident - trickling down into every detail of their service to us. Cleanliness was also unmatched, from what I could see we had room service twice per day whilst we were out and about! They organised intimate candlelit dinners for us overlooking the view and ocean! Chaturanga was the perfect waiter. All of the staff were beyond kind, generous and go out of their way to deliver absolutely everything and anything you want, and had amazing recommendations on what to do in the area! Don’t even get me started on the food! Nalaka the head chef is unbelievably gifted with a magic touch. Everything on that menu is to die for! Although expensive (and by expensive, it’s actually just the same price you would pay in a western country) it is worth every cent and the portions are HUGE! The Seafood Chowder is a MUST! We ordered it nearly every meal. I have never tasted a dish so harmonious in flavours, it’s truly an experience! My personal highlight was during a conversation with Dinuka (a famous chef in his own right) chatting about my curiosity for cooking Sri Lankan cuisine, he offered for dinner that night to organise a cooking class (free of charge) with the head chef Nalaka! Pictures attached! This was such a soul enriching experience, cooking my motherland food and learning from the best of the best, sharing our love for our country and our cuisine! We cooked a divine chicken and dhal curry! Another highlight was Bleu the Persian cat - their own villa kitty. The most affectionate and happiest cat I have ever m
