Accommodation


Silver Package


Thilanka


Hotel Thilanka sits in the foothills of Udawattakelle nature reserve, with most rooms offering a picturesque view of Kandy lake. This 3 star hotel began life as a private house, built by a wealthy Kandyan towards the end of the colonial era. It has since been extended by a six-storey new wing with large comfortable rooms and balconies overlooking the city.


Ceylon Continental


Sri Lanka is famed for its geniality, and the Ceylon Continental exemplifies it. Its warm welcome is striking for a 5-star city centre hotel – and that matters. Restaurants are passable; value for money outstanding.





Browns Beach, Negombo

Browns Beach, established in 1970, was one of the first hotels to be established in Negombo. Beach space was no problem then, which allowed Browns the extravagance of idling over a 450-metre stretch of prime sandy coastline. Excellent new management has shaken Browns out of years of torpor and its welcoming atmosphere and recent smartening-up has upped its appeal for the mid-market package holiday crowd.


Heritance Kandalama, Dambulla

Mean, moody and magnificent – Kandalama symbolizes the best in Sri Lankan ecological design. It snakes along a rocky outcrop, in a light tropical jungle, overlooked by Kandalama reservoir and the Knuckles hills. Slightly formal, richly elegant.





Bronze Package


Chaaya Village, Habarana

Chaaya Village is set in the middle of the Cultural Triangle, is located in the quaint village of Habarana in close proximity to the historic cities of Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Dambulla, and Sigiriya. Just rebranded and newly-refurbished, Chaaya Village is a treat for those wanting to experience a taste of Sri Lanka's unhurried and wholesome rural village lifestyle, the rich cultural heritage and the tropical wilderness in a hotel that offers luxurious living, good food and courteous service. The property, set in an acre of gardens bordering a lake, blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings amidst tall trees and tropical foliage Numerous species of birds, butterflies, monitor lizards and monkeys have all shared this natural habitat with the surrounding villagers for centuries.


Blue Oceanic, Negombo

The Blue Oceanic, with its Mediterranean feel, is a well-managed mid-range property in a youthful resort. It gazes out onto the best section of Negombo beach and is comfortably the best three-star option on this section of the coast.





Sharon Inn


Sharon Inn is a delightful guesthouse on the hillside overlooking Sri Lanka’s hill country capital, Kandy. This property is spotlessly clean, comfortable and well run by the Sri Lankan and German owners. Good food and a relaxed atmosphere make this a great guesthouse option in the town.




Colombo City Hotel

The traveller on a budget will be particularly attracted by the convenience and value of the Colombo City Hotel. This small, new hotel offers modern rooms at an appealing price directly opposite the World Trade Centre in Colombo’s city centre.
