BEST PLACES TO STAY IN SRI LANKA

Sri Lanka offers an amazing variety of hotels. You can find luxurious, unique, family-run, and other types of boutique hotels, making it one of the top destinations in Asia. The local architecture and design, genuine Sri Lankan hospitality, and personal touch make these boutique hotels exceptional choices. Options include romantic small bungalows, family friendly tea plantation bungalows, renovated manor houses, and stylish modern retreats. And these can be found both on the beach and inland. Most boutique hotels have fewer than 20 rooms, ensuring personalized service.

The quality of smaller hotels in Sri Lanka varies, but we only recommend those we’ve tried and tested. We have visited and inspected the properties and we monitor feedback closely to maintain high standards.

Additionally, Sri Lanka has unique luxury hotels, both boutique as well as larger properties that showcase its beautiful scenery. We recommend the Kahanda Kanda near Galle, Camellia Hills in the Tea Country, Kandalama Hotel in the Cultural Triangle, and the Last House in Tangalle. Amanwella and Anantara Peace Haven are other luxurious options.
