Offering a garden and garden view, Wilpattu Safari Resort is situated in Wilpattu, 34 km from Kumbichchan Kulama Tank and 34 km from Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi. There is an in-house restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. When staying at the bed and breakfast, guests can use private entrance. Our stay at the Wilpattu Safari Resort was truly memorable and highly enjoyable. The resort is brilliantly located, offering the ultimate convenience as it is right near the entrance of the Wilpattu National Park, making early morning safari trips seamless. The resort itself is beautifully designed. Its architecture is stunning and perfectly suited to the natural surroundings, creating an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and genuinely connected to the wilderness. The rooms are very comfy; we especially appreciated the comfort of the bedding, guaranteeing a great night's sleep after a long day of game viewing. However, the true highlight of our visit was the exceptional friendliness of the staff, particularly Ravindu, the Assistant Manager. His attentive service and warm demeanor were outstanding. It’s clear he truly enjoys hosting his guests, always going the extra mile with a genuine smile to ensure every need is met. Ravindu's passion for hospitality made our experience special and personal! Thank you Ravindu and team!

Located in Kandakuli, 200 metres from Kudawa Beach, Coco Cottage Kite Surfing-Kalpitiya provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a private beach area and a terrace. The accommodation features room service, a 24-hour front desk and currency exchange for guests. Everything! It was a beach hut with an outdoor bathroom under the coconut trees. Just a walk from the beach which I pretty much had to myself! Aby, the owner was so hospitable as was his lovely fiancé. I was their first foreign visitor as they’ve only just opened. They both did everything to ensure my stay was memorable. They even took me into town on the bike so I didn’t have to pay for a tuk tuk. They are great hosts.

The bed was comfortable, the room curtains were dark to keep any light out. Ceiling fan, AC, electric kettle, good size room and separate shower ( not a wet bath) Food was delicious-ask for Black pork for dinner and pancakes for breakfast! Then, a nice new pool to cool off after a day of safari! The location is just a couple minutes to the main entrance to Wilpattu National Park.

Situated in Puttalam, Just Inn features accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

Towels and bed linen are offered in the homestay. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance. A day before the end of our pedal bike expedition. We arrived in Puttalam after pushing against heavy winds for more than 80km. Tired and stinking actually. Bassam, the owner and care taker of Just Inn, spoke and helped us secure the bicycles. Just inn is a kind of AirBnB or simple and beautiful homestay for any tourist. We stayed that night, tidied ourselves. Bassam rode us in his tuk tuk to the salt flats near by and later we went to a one of its- state of the art - kind of small veg hotel for dinner. We both are lifelong vegeterians. Just Inn is a simple and beautiful homestay. Clean and comfortable stay - like a home - one night or 10 nights - the experience is lively. Anyone who wish to stay there can ask Bassam about our endurance journey in SriLanka. Even though we spent very short time there at Bassam’s place.. a strong bonding was made and I think we will remember each other for a lifetime.. Thank you Bassam for everything…
