Not just golden beaches and turquoise seas, the coastal region
is home to the spectacular Galle Stadium, vibrant resorts and
inspiring charity projects.
Royal
Beach, Induruwa
This
is a good value hotel that makes up for any limitations
with an abundance of character. It is a small enough
property for a group to have it to themselves, while
there is plenty of communal space in which to relax
as a team. Royal Beach is half way between Colombo
and Galle, therefore convenient for matches at Panadura
or Galle Stadium. The inspirational Foundation for
Goodness is also close by.
Cinnamon
Gardens, Hikkaduwa
Located
on the Hikkaduwa strip, Cinnamon is a great hotel
option for those wanting comfortable accommodation
at a low cost. The hotel is amongst the palm tree
fringe of Hikkuduwa beach and there is also a pleasant
garden you can relax in or even play some cricket.
There are 12 ensuite rooms, so a tour party could
have the place to themselves.
2 ½ hours from Colombo and close to Galle.
Unawatuna
Beach Resort, Unawatana
Located
on a beautiful beach with a vibrant party scene,
Unawatuna Beach Resort is a good value and popular
hotel. The rooms are not luxurious but there is
a swimming pool. All along the beach are lively
bars and cafes serving cold beer and fresh seafood.
The resort is well placed for games at Galle and
the south coast venue of Matara
Dickwella
Resort, Dickwella
Perched
on a southern coast headland, Dickwella Resort has
a privileged position surrounded by gorgeous beaches
and warm seas. Dickwella is convenient for matches
at Matara and serves as good staging post if planning
a safari at Yala or Uda Walawe. With great facilities
and touches of luxury, this would be a great option
for a club tour.
South Coast and Safari – A highlight
to any cricket tour would be a safari in one of Sri Lanka’s
stunning national parks. For leopards and elephants, Red Dot
suggests Yala.
Yala
Village Hotel, Yala
A
safari in Yala National Park is a popular addition
to a tour. Due to the distances involved, a night
near the park is required and Yala Village Hotel,
with its swimming pool and good restaurant, is the
most suitable chose for a touring group.
