Saman Villas (Bentota): the setting – a sea-splashed rocky promontory in Bentota with far-reaching coastal and ocean views – is a country standout, and everything is geared to romance and relaxation: private dining, highly personalised service, roomy suites and a lovely spa.

Chena Hunts (Yala National Park): Huts are a rather modest moniker for these enormous climate-controlled residences with private pools nest led into the coastal jungle bordering Sri Lanka’s leopard-hotspot that is Yala National Park. For creature comfort loving wildlife fans, this personable jungle haven is hard to beat.

Jetwing Seven (Colombo): Looking over the upscale neighbourhood of Cinnamon Gardens, Jetwing Colombo Seven is perfectly positioned between the cosmopolitan city centre and upcoming luxuriant suburbs. Situated mere minutes away from world-class dining, exotic shopping, thriving nightlife, and historic cultural experiences, our home of Sri Lankan hospitality in Colombo puts you in close proximity to a number of exciting urban experiences.

Buckingham Place (Tangalle): Buckingham Place is a luxurious boutique hotel located to the east of Tangalle in Rekawa, overlooking the stunning Indian Ocean. The hotel is nestled amidst lush tropical gardens, providing a peaceful and serene retreat for guests.

The seven bedrooms and nine suites at Buckingham Place are elegantly designed and decorated, with modern amenities, traditional Sri Lankan touches, comfortable beds and polished concrete floors. All rooms are air-conditioned and equipped with a private balcony or terrace offering breath-taking views of the ocean or the gardens. Buckingham Place is adult-oriented, but the staff will be happy to accommodate children over five years old
