Buffet and continental breakfast options with warm dishes, local specialities and pancakes are available. At the guest house, the family-friendly restaurant is open for dinner, lunch and brunch and specialises in seafood cuisine. This property is located in a beautiful mangrove forest. It’s so peaceful and surrounded by nature! The staff went out of their way to make our stay wonderful and memorable. The kayak ride from the lodge to the beach was fabulous, and food (breakfast & dinner) was excellent!

Accessible via private entrance, all units have air conditioning, soundproofing, outdoor furniture and a private bathroom with a bidet. There is a seating and a dining area in all units. At the guest house, the units are equipped with bed linen and towels. Really cool tree house rooms on the peninsula. The host and cook is amazing and he makes delicious meals. The rooms are clean and spacious. The bathroom is partially open air which was really cool. The hammocks and tables made it a peaceful haven. The pool was still being made when I went but it will be a really nice addition. I highly recommend this place.

A balcony with outdoor furniture and garden views is offered in each unit. At the guest house, the units have bed linen and towels. The Backwaters property is located very near to Wilpattu National Park. It is a beautifully designed highly Eco friendly establishment. The owner to the other supports staff are all VERY friendly and they catered to our every need. The sunset River Safari arranged by the property was amazing. Our guide, Mubarak, had the most amazing eye to spot beautiful birds along the way. The food offered at the restaurant was healthy and tasty. We will definitely recommend this property to our friends and family.

At the guest house, every unit is equipped with a desk. With a private bathroom fitted with a walk-in shower and free toiletries, some units at the guest house also boast a patio. At the guest house, each unit includes bed linen and towels. This place is amazing. If you want to go to Wilpattu National Park, this is the perfect accommodation. We booked The Sanctuary half an hour before arriving and we were warmly greeted at the door by the owner Siraj. Siraj's passion for environmental protection is incredible. His knowledge of the ecology of the area is huge. Siraj and his team provided us with first class hospitality, beautiful food and a fully organized safari we will never forget (for a very competitive price). Extras like plentiful home grown bananas, a night tour of the grounds (seeing flying foxes and mouse deer) and free photos of what we saw on safari were the icing on the cake. It was a privilege to have stayed at The Sanctuary and we left enriched. I would not hesitate to return here in future.

Featuring a private bathroom, units at the guest house also offer free WiFi, while selected rooms are equipped with a terrace.

Guests can eat in the on-site family-friendly restaurant, which is open for dinner, lunch, brunch and high tea. We decided to come to Kalpityia spontaneously and made a last minute booking. The owner was very welcoming and friendly, we felt really comfortable there. He made us an excellent dinner too. The whole area is basically a family business, all people we met were really warm and friendly. The accommodation is just a stone's throw from the beach, which is particularly great for kite surfing. It's a peaceful place surrounded by nature, perfect for both relax and activities.

There is a seating and a dining area in all units. At the guest house, the units are fitted with bed linen and towels. Totally exceeded our expectations! Even better than the photos and super friendly people treat you just like family. Such a clan and nicely decorated place and super comfortable beds, comforter and fluffy pillows on a soft bed. just what we needed! Also about as close as you can get to the rickshaw run start line so was a super location for us. No hot water but we didn’t even miss it.

Set in Chilaw, 43 km from St Anthony's Church and 45 km from Maris Stella College, Elegant Hamlets Home Stay offers a garden and air conditioning. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. During your stay at this guest house, you can make use of an outdoor swimming pool, as well as a selection of a hot tub and a 24-hour front desk. This accommodation is very special and we felt like we were in an oasis of calm. The pool was perfect, the house is in a beautiful garden among coconut palms. The mini house is very well equipped for European style (we very much appreciated the separate shower). We really haven't found a single mistake. Too bad we only stayed one night, it was probably the best accommodation we had in Sri Lanka for a month.
