Places to stay

Hotels and villas

Our team makes it easier to choose where to stay in Sri Lanka. We hand-pick hotels for consistent quality and reliable service, and group them by area: beach hotels, hill-country resorts, wildlife stays and more. You can also choose by style, from luxury resorts and boutique hotels to camping, glamping and places that suit a careful budget.

Hotels in Colombo
Colombo is usually a one- or two-night stop, so the right hotel depends on what you want from those nights. Pick the seafront around Galle Face if you want to walk to Fort and Pettah. Pick Colombo 7 for quiet streets and a smaller house. Pick Mount Lavinia if you would rather wake up by the beach and drive in. The main areas Galle Face, Fort and Slave Island Most of the big international hotels sit along the seafront between Fort and Galle Face Green: Shangri-La, The Kingsbury, Hilton, Taj Samudra and the Galle Face Hotel, which has been on its site since the 1860s. Cinnamon Grand and Cinnamon Lakeside are a few minutes inland, the second on Beira Lake. Fairway Colombo is a smaller mid-range option next to the Dutch Hospital. This is the easiest base for a first visit: Fort, Pettah and the Galle Face promenade are all close. Kollupitiya, Colombo 7 and the old residential streets A little south and inland, Cinnamon Red and the high-rise Mövenpick sit near Gangaramaya Temple and Viharamahadevi Park. Further in, Colombo 7 is the leafy part of town. Here you will find Tintagel, a former Bandaranaike family residence, the 11-suite Residence by Uga Escapes in a Victorian townhouse, Jetwing Colombo Seven, and Black Cat Cafe and Stay, the simplest and cheapest room on our list. Bambalapitiya and Wellawatte Down Galle Road the hotels get more practical. Mandarina, Ocean Edge Suites and Platinum One Suites all offer larger rooms or full apartments, which suits families and longer stays. OZO Colombo has a rooftop pool and is a short walk from Wellawatte beach. Mount Lavinia About 12 km south of Fort, the Mount Lavinia Hotel is a colonial-era beach hotel with a long history. Siddhalepa's Anarva nearby is a smaller Ayurveda-focused stay.

For a quieter, more personal stay, look at Colombo 7. Families who need space do better with the suite hotels on Galle Road. If you land late and fly out early, remember the airport is about 32 km north, which is 30 to 60 minutes by expressway. Read our Colombo travel guide for what to see, or browse things to do in Colombo. If you would rather stay near the airport, see hotels in Negombo. Quick picks Couples: Tintagel or Residence by Uga Escapes for a quiet, personal stay Families: Platinum One Suites or Ocean Edge Suites for space and kitchens Business: Hilton, Shangri-La or The Kingsbury, close to the World Trade Centre On a budget: Black Cat Cafe and Stay, or Fairway Colombo for mid-range comfort in Fort

Hotels in Kandy
Kandy is small, but its traffic is not. Staying in town means you can walk to the lake and the Temple of the Tooth. Staying in the hills means better views and quieter nights, but a drive every time you go in. Many of our Kandy hotels fall into one of those two camps, with a handful of country estates further out. In town, by the lake Queen's Hotel faces the temple and is one of the oldest hotels in the country. Hotel Suisse sits on the lake in a building with a colonial past. The Radh, a 30-room boutique hotel, is right in the centre. OZO Kandy, Kandy City Hotel and Heaven Seven are simpler mid-range choices within walking distance of the lake. These suit anyone who wants to see the evening ceremony at the Temple of the Tooth without a car. On the hills around the city Most of the bigger hotels look down on Kandy from the ridges. Amaya Hills, Hotel Topaz, Thilanka, the Grand Kandyan and Oak Ray Regency all have views across the valley and pools to come back to. Cinnamon Citadel sits on the Mahaweli River on the edge of town, and Earl's Regency and The Golden Crown are further east among paddy fields and hills. The Secret Kandy and The Elephant Stables are small boutique houses in former private homes, the first once owned by the lawyer and thinker Siddi Lebbe. Out of town Hotel Tree of Life is a colonial estate house in Yahalatenna, surrounded by tea. The Hermitage, a boutique villa, and Victoria Golf and Country Resort, with its 18-hole course, are both east of Kandy near the Victoria reservoir and the Knuckles range. These are for slower stays, not for a quick temple visit. At a glance Hotel Area Style Queen's Hotel Town centre Heritage mid-range Hotel Suisse Kandy Lake Heritage mid-range The Radh Town centre Boutique OZO Kandy / Kandy City Hotel / Heaven Seven Town and lake Mid-range Amaya Hills / Grand Kandyan / Earl's Regency / Golden Crown Hills around the city Luxury Cinnamon Citadel Mahaweli River Luxury Hotel Topaz / Thilanka / Oak Ray Regency Hills around the city Mid-range The Secret Kandy / Elephant Stables Hills above town Boutique Hotel Tree of Life Yahalatenna Estate, mid-range The Hermitage / Victoria Golf Victoria reservoir Boutique and golf resort When to book early Rooms fill months ahead during the Esala Perahera, usually in July or August.

Hotels in Anuradhapura
Anuradhapura's ruins spread over a wide area, and most visitors see them by car, tuk-tuk or bicycle over one long day. Where you sleep matters less than how early you start. Even so, the four hotels we work with here are quite different from one another. Close to the sacred city The Lakeside at Nuwarawewa looks out over the Nuwarawewa reservoir and is about 5 km from Isurumuniya. It is a good choice if you want to be near the sites and see the water at sunset. Rajarata Hotel, on two acres with around 100 rooms, is also close to the main sites and is the practical pick for groups. Further out, with more space Forest Rock Garden is a four-star hotel set on 50 acres of ponds, boulders and waterways, with design taken from local temples and monasteries. Ulagalla by Uga Escapes is the most luxurious option: a five-star resort on 58 acres of paddy fields and orchards, with private villas and a pool some way outside the city. At a glance Hotel Area Style The Lakeside at Nuwarawewa Nuwarawewa reservoir Mid-range Rajarata Hotel Near the sacred city Mid-range Forest Rock Garden Outside the city Boutique, four-star Ulagalla by Uga Escapes Rural, outside the city Five-star boutique Planning your visit Start early. The Sri Maha Bodhi and the great stupas such as Ruwanwelisaya are active places of worship, so wear white or light clothes that cover shoulders and knees, and expect to walk barefoot on hot stone. Mihintale, a short drive east, is best climbed in the early morning or late afternoon. Read our Anuradhapura guide or see things to do in Anuradhapura. Quick picks Closest to the sites: The Lakeside at Nuwarawewa or Rajarata Hotel A special stay: Ulagalla by Uga Escapes Nature and space: Forest Rock Garden How long to stay One full day covers the main sites of the sacred city. Add a second if you want Mihintale and the Aukana Buddha, or a slower pace with a rest in the heat of the afternoon. Anuradhapura also works as a base for a long day at Wilpattu National Park.

Hotels in Polonnaruwa
Polonnaruwa is compact and flat, and its ruins are easy to cover by bicycle. Most of its hotels sit on the shores of Parakrama Samudra, the great reservoir built by King Parakramabahu, so you can see the water from almost anywhere you stay. On Parakrama Samudra EKHO Lake House is the most characterful choice: a 14-room boutique hotel built in 1870 as a circuit bungalow for British government agents, with a pool on the lake's edge. Hotel Sudu Araliya, a four-star hotel close by, has more rooms and suites and suits families and groups. Ruins Chaaya overlooks green paddy fields and gives easy access to the ancient city. At Giritale The Deer Park Hotel is a short drive north-west, on Giritale lake, with more than 80 villas spread through its grounds. It is quieter, and well placed for afternoon safaris at Minneriya as well as for the ruins. At a glance Hotel Area Style EKHO Lake House Parakrama Samudra Boutique, heritage Hotel Sudu Araliya Parakrama Samudra Mid-range, four-star Ruins Chaaya Edge of the town Mid-range The Deer Park Hotel Giritale Luxury villas Making the most of it One full day is enough for the Quadrangle and Vatadage and the Gal Vihara carvings. The site is hot and exposed by late morning, so begin at opening time, rest at the hotel in the afternoon, and use the evening for a lake walk or a safari. Polonnaruwa is roughly an hour from Habarana and a little more from Sigiriya, so you can also stay there and visit on a day trip. More in our Polonnaruwa guide. Quick picks Character: EKHO Lake House, in an 1870 circuit bungalow Families and groups: Hotel Sudu Araliya or The Deer Park Hotel Easy access to the ruins: Ruins Chaaya Getting around The ancient city is flat and the main sites are a few kilometres apart, so many visitors hire bicycles. A driver is better in the midday heat or if you are travelling with children. Your ticket covers the museum and the main monument groups.

Hotels in Habarana
Habarana is a junction town, and that is its strength. Sigiriya, Dambulla, Polonnaruwa and the elephant parks at Minneriya and Kaudulla are all within about an hour, so it works well as a three- or four-night base for the Cultural Triangle. The hotels Cinnamon Lodge is the most established, a five-star resort set among mature trees with its own organic farm and butterfly garden. Birdwatchers like it: the hotel counts around 130 species in its grounds. Next door, Habarana Village by Cinnamon is a quieter four-star option with cabanas set in forest. Sorowwa Resort and Spa sits in the village itself, with a pool and simple, comfortable rooms. Pinthaliya Resort and Spa is a short drive south towards Sigiriya and has a spa offering Ayurveda treatments. At a glance Hotel Area Style Cinnamon Lodge Habarana lake Five-star, nature resort Habarana Village by Cinnamon Habarana lake Mid-range, four-star Sorowwa Resort and Spa Habarana village Mid-range Pinthaliya Resort and Spa Towards Sigiriya Mid-range, Ayurveda Who it suits Habarana is ideal if you want one hotel for several days of sightseeing and safaris without packing up each morning. It is less suited to anyone who wants restaurants and nightlife; evenings here are quiet. If you would rather wake up with Sigiriya rock in view, look at hotels in Sigiriya instead. Timing safaris The elephant gathering at Minneriya usually builds from about July, peaking in August and September. From roughly October, herds often move towards Kaudulla. Your driver or hotel will know which park is better that week. See our Habarana guide or things to do around Habarana. Quick picks Birdwatchers: Cinnamon Lodge Quiet and good value: Habarana Village by Cinnamon In the village: Sorowwa Resort and Spa Spa treatments: Pinthaliya Resort and Spa Getting there Habarana is roughly four hours by road from Colombo. Trincomalee and the east coast beaches are about two hours further east, which makes Habarana a good last stop before a beach week from May to September.

Hotels in Sigiriya
Staying in Sigiriya means you can be at the gate when it opens, before the heat and the tour buses. The hotels are spread across a few kilometres of farmland and forest around the rock, so think about whether you want a rock view, a quiet nature setting or simply good value. Close to the rock Hotel Sigiriya is the closest on our list, near enough that you can see the rock from the pool. Sigiriya Village, with about 120 cottages, is a short drive away with the rock as its backdrop. Both make sense for an early climb of the Sigiriya Rock Fortress or Pidurangala at sunrise. Luxury in a natural setting Jetwing Vil Uyana is built around a man-made wetland, with villas over the water and among paddy fields; its name means "garden of lakes". Sigiriya Jungles and Aliya Resort and Spa are both set in forest and farmland with views back to the rock. Mid-range and wellness Camellia Resort and Spa, Oak Ray Elephant Lake and Fresco Water Villa are comfortable mid-range hotels within about 15 minutes of the rock. Kaveri Ayurveda Resort has 18 rooms and a well-regarded Ayurveda spa, and is family-friendly.

Hotels in Dickwella
Dickwella sits on the far south coast, roughly three hours from Colombo by expressway. It has two moods: the small horseshoe bay of Hiriketiya, which is all surf boards and cafes, and the calmer beaches around Dickwella town, where you can swim and do very little. Choose your hotel by which of those you want. For surfers: Hiriketiya Villa Hiriketiya is a simple, affordable resort about 50 metres from the beach. It is the obvious base if you plan to surf at Hiriketiya every day and eat out in the evenings. For a quiet beach stay Dikwella Resort and Spa is a mid-range resort aimed at families, with the reef close enough for snorkelling. Soul Resorts Dickwella is a smaller mid-range boutique hotel on an uncrowded stretch of sand. UTMT, Under the Mango Tree, is the most individual of the four: a chic beachfront hotel with a club-like feel and a programme of activities for guests.

Hotels in Dambulla
Dambulla is a market town on the main road north, best known for its cave temples. It is also about 30 minutes from Sigiriya, so many travellers use it as a base for both. All four of our Dambulla hotels are in the luxury bracket, but they feel very different. On Kandalama reservoir Heritance Kandalama, designed by Geoffrey Bawa, is built into a cliff above the Kandalama reservoir and is wrapped in forest, with Sigiriya visible in the distance. It is a destination in itself for anyone interested in architecture. Amaya Lake, nearby on the same water, is a resort of chalets and villas set across about 50 acres, with an eco-friendly approach. Closer to town Jetwing Lake is a modern five-star hotel overlooking an old reservoir, with a strong focus on sustainability. The Paradise Resort and Spa has 65 rooms and suites furnished in teak, and is the most convenient for the cave temples.

Quick picks Architecture lovers: Heritance Kandalama Nature and space: Amaya Lake Close to the caves: The Paradise Resort and Spa Modern and sustainable: Jetwing Lake Dambulla or Sigiriya?

Hotels in Kalpitiya
Kalpitiya is a long, thin peninsula on the north-west coast, around three to four hours from Colombo. People come here for two things: wind and dolphins. The hotels are small and spread out along the sand, so this is a place to settle in rather than move around. The hotels Bar Reef Resort and Palagama Beach Resort share a 2 km stretch of beach backed by scrub and mangroves. Both are four-star resorts that welcome families and groups; Palagama was designed by the engineer and architect Cecil Balmond. Dolphin Beach Resort is a smaller eco-friendly three-star option on the same coast. Villa Santé, further north, is a boutique beachfront hotel and the most polished of the four.

Dolphin watching runs from roughly November to April, when the sea is calm; boats usually stop in the windy months. December to March is the overlap if you want both. Getting here The drive north passes Negombo, Chilaw and the Puttalam lagoon. Wilpattu National Park is close enough for a day safari from Kalpitiya.

Hotels in Negombo
Negombo is the closest beach town to Bandaranaike International Airport, about 10 km or 20 to 30 minutes by road. That makes it the natural choice for your first or last night in Sri Lanka. The beach is long and wide, and the hotels line up along it north of the town. On the main beach Jetwing Blue is a 120-room beachfront hotel with a contemporary design and a long pool facing the sea. Heritance Negombo, a short way along, is a modern five-star hotel with an outdoor pool and spa. Goldi Sands Hotel is a four-star, better-value option on the same strip, with a pool and access to water sports. Away from the strip Arie Lagoon sits between the ocean and the lagoon, about half an hour from the airport, and is quieter than the main beach.

Hotels in Wadduwa
Wadduwa is the first real beach stop south of Colombo, about an hour away by road.

Hotels in Galle
The big decision in Galle is whether to stay inside the walls of the Dutch fort or outside them. Inside, you can walk out at dawn when the lanes are empty and come back after dark.

Hotels in Delft Island
Delft, known in Tamil as Neduntheevu, is a flat, windswept island in the Palk Strait, known for its wild ponies, coral-stone walls and a giant baobab tree. There is very little accommodation on the island, and we do not currently list any hotels there. Most visitors stay in Jaffna and see Delft on a long day trip. How the day works From Jaffna, drive about an hour over the causeways to the jetty at Kurikadduwan. The boat to Delft takes around 45 minutes to an hour. Published timetables change often, and the state ferries give priority to islanders, so arrive at least 30 minutes early and confirm the return sailing as soon as you land. If you miss the last boat back, you will be spending the night on the island. Where to stay Use one of our Jaffna hotels as your base. Leaving Jaffna by about 7 am is the safest way to catch a morning boat. What to see On a day tour of the island you will usually see the ponies, the Dutch-era ruins and the baobab, and you can have a local crab lunch. Bring water, a hat and sunscreen; there is little shade. When to go February to September is the best time. In the north-east monsoon, roughly October to January, crossings are more often cancelled. See our Delft Island guide. A note on this page There are currently no hotels listed for this page yet, which is why none are shown here. We are happy to suggest a homestay if you want to spend a night on the island.

Hotels in Yala
The best Yala hotel is the one that gets you to the park gate earliest. For morning safaris, jeeps leave around 5 am, so the closer you sleep, the more time you have before dawn. Our Yala list falls into three groups: lodges on the park boundary, tented camps, and hotels in the town of Tissamaharama. On the park boundary Cinnamon Wild Yala is a five-star jungle resort with no boundary wall, so animals often walk through the grounds. Jetwing Yala is on 38 acres near the beach and the park. Wild Coast Tented Lodge is the most luxurious, with cocoon-shaped tented suites facing the sea. Tented camps Mahoora Tented Safari Camp in Yala and Leopard Trails Yala offer luxury tented camps on the edge of the park, with guided drives included in most packages. In Tissamaharama About 30 to 40 minutes from the main gate, EKHO Safari and Oak Ray Lake Resort face Tissa lake, Thaulle Resort is a family-friendly four-star resort, and Kithala Resort is a three-star hotel among paddy fields. These are better value, and the town has more places to eat.

Hotels in Wilpattu
Wilpattu is Sri Lanka's largest national park, a quiet landscape of forest and natural lakes, or villus, in the north-west. It sees far fewer jeeps than Yala, which is why people love it. Accommodation near the park is limited, and our recommendation is a tented camp on the boundary. Leopard Trails Wilpattu Leopard Trails runs a luxury tented camp just outside the park. With guided drives from the camp, it is the best way to spend two or three days looking for leopards and sloth bears without long drives each morning. At a glance Hotel Area Style Leopard Trails Wilpattu Park boundary Luxury tented camp Other options If you prefer a beach base, Kalpitiya is close enough for a day safari. From Anuradhapura, the main entrance is about an hour away, so a long day trip is possible from hotels in Anuradhapura. When to go The dry months, roughly May to September, are usually best for sightings, when animals gather at the remaining water. Wildlife is never guaranteed, and the park can close for short periods after heavy rain. Read about a Wilpattu safari or see our Wilpattu guide. Safari tips Wilpattu's roads are sandy and slow, so a full day lets you reach the quieter villus deep in the park. Bring a hat, sunscreen, water and binoculars. Leopards are often seen resting in trees or on the edges of the villus in the early morning. Getting there The main entrance at Hunuwilagama is about four hours by road from Colombo.

At a glance Hotel Area Style Grand Udawalawe Safari Resort Near the park gate Mid-range, four-star Centauria Wild Near the park Four-star Kalu's Hideaway Near the park gate Mid-range, three-star Things to do Take a morning or afternoon safari, then visit the Elephant Transit Home, where orphaned calves are fed before being returned to the wild. You watch from a viewing platform; there is no touching or riding. Feeding times vary, so ask your hotel on the day. Who it suits One night is enough for most people. If you are driving from Ella or Nuwara Eliya to the south coast, Udawalawe breaks up the journey well. Families with younger children often prefer it to Yala, as elephants are almost always seen. See our Udawalawe guide. Getting there Udawalawe is about four hours from Colombo by road and around two and a half to three hours from Ella. Yala and the south coast at Tangalle are each about two hours away. When to come Udawalawe is open all year and elephants are seen in every season. The dry months, roughly May to September, can bring larger groups to the water.

Hotels in Minneriya
Minneriya National Park is famous for the elephant gathering, when large herds come to graze on the shores of the ancient Minneriya reservoir. There are no hotels inside the park, and we do not list any directly at Minneriya, but several good bases are close by. Where to stay Habarana is the nearest, about 20 minutes from the park entrance, with resorts such as Cinnamon Lodge. Sigiriya hotels are around 30 to 40 minutes away, and Polonnaruwa is a similar distance in the other direction. When to go The gathering usually builds from about July, peaking in August and September. From roughly October, as the rains return and the reservoir fills, herds often move to nearby Kaudulla. Afternoon drives are usually best. Water levels are now partly controlled, so numbers vary from year to year; your guide will know where the elephants are that week. Read about a Minneriya safari or our Minneriya guide. Safari tips Book a jeep with a licensed driver; your hotel can arrange it. Bring a hat, sunscreen, water and binoculars. Keep noise down, never feed animals, and ask the driver not to crowd them. A note on this page There are currently no hotels listed for this page yet, which is why none are shown here.

Hotels in Bundala

We do not list hotels at Bundala itself, but the hotels around Yala are close.

Hotels in Kumana
Kumana National Park, on the south-east coast, is one of the best birdwatching parks in Sri Lanka, with large nesting colonies at the Kumana Villu. It also has elephants and leopards, and far fewer visitors than Yala next door. We do not list hotels at Kumana itself. Where to stay Most people stay in Arugam Bay, about an hour from the Okanda entrance, and leave very early for a morning drive. It combines well with a surf trip. When to go April to July is the peak nesting season for water birds. The park is generally open all year but can close at short notice in the north-east monsoon, roughly November to January, when tracks flood. Check before you travel. Read about a Kumana safari or our Kumana guide. Safari tips Book a jeep with a licensed driver; your hotel can arrange it. Bring a hat, sunscreen, water and binoculars.

Hotels in Kaudulla
Kaudulla National Park is the quieter neighbour of Minneriya, linked to it by an elephant corridor. It has no hotels inside, and we do not list any directly at Kaudulla, but the Cultural Triangle bases are close. Where to stay Habarana is the closest town to the park, around 20 to 30 minutes from the entrance. Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa are also within an hour, so you can combine a safari with sightseeing. When to go Kaudulla often has its biggest herds a little later than Minneriya, around September to November, when rain starts to fill the Minneriya reservoir. It also tends to have fewer jeeps. Ask your driver which park is better that week. Read about a Kaudulla safari or our Kaudulla guide. Safari tips Book a jeep with a licensed driver; your hotel can arrange it. Bring a hat, sunscreen, water and binoculars. Keep noise down, never feed animals, and ask the driver not to crowd them.

Hotels in Wasgamuwa
Wasgamuwa is one of Sri Lanka's least-visited parks, a mix of forest, grassland and river between the Mahaweli and Amban rivers, with elephants, birds and the ruins of an old monastery. We do not currently list hotels at Wasgamuwa itself. Where to stay The most practical base is Polonnaruwa, about an hour and a half away by road, which lets you combine the ruins with a long safari day. Dambulla also works for a very early start. If you would like to stay right by the park, tell us and we will suggest options. Planning The dry months, roughly May to September, are usually best for elephants. Inside the park you can also see the Buduruwayaya ruins. Read about a Wasgamuwa safari or our Wasgamuwa guide. Safari tips Book a jeep with a licensed driver; your hotel can arrange it.

Hotels in Gal Oya
Gal Oya is the only national park in Sri Lanka where the main safari is by boat, across the Senanayake Samudra reservoir. With luck you can watch elephants swimming between the islands. We do not currently list hotels here, but a small number of lodges sit near the park. Where to stay Tell us your dates and we will suggest a lodge near the Inginiyagala entrance, where the boat safaris start. Gal Oya is a long drive from the main tourist routes, so plan at least one night. The boat safari Boats usually go out early in the morning and in the late afternoon, for about two hours. Book a day ahead, as the number of boats is limited. Swimming elephants are most likely in the dry season, roughly May to September, but sightings are never guaranteed. Read about a Gal Oya safari or our Gal Oya guide. For the coast, see hotels in Arugam Bay. Safari tips Book a jeep with a licensed driver; your hotel can arrange it. Bring a hat, sunscreen, water and binoculars. Keep noise down, never feed animals, and ask the driver not to crowd them.

Hotels in Horton Plains
Horton Plains is a high, open plateau of grassland and cloud forest at over 2,000 metres, best known for the cliff at World's End. The key to a good visit is an early start: mist usually rolls in by mid-morning and hides the view. There are no hotels inside the park, so stay as close as you can. Closest to the plains Hill Safari is a simple, budget stay on the edge of the plains, with panoramic views of the hills. It is the best choice if your only goal is to be at the gate at dawn. In the Uva hills Melheim Resort is a boutique hotel with 18 rooms and private decks in the hills of the Badulla district, near Haputale. Bandarawela Hotel is a colonial-style bungalow with 33 rooms and the feel of an old lodge. Both are around an hour or more from the park, so they suit travellers combining Horton Plains with Ella and Haputale. At a glance Hotel Area Style Hill Safari Edge of the plains Budget Melheim Resort Near Haputale Boutique Bandarawela Hotel Bandarawela Mid-range, colonial Visiting the park The main loop to World's End and Baker's Falls is about 9 km and takes three to four hours.

See our Horton Plains guide or hotels in Nuwara Eliya. A note on the hotel list Ceylon Tea Bungalows, which also appears on this page, is a tea-estate bungalow on the Hilpankandura estate. Please check its location with us before booking it as a base for Horton Plains. Who it suits Walkers and photographers who want to reach World's End before the mist. If you are not an early riser, stay in Nuwara Eliya or Ella and visit as part of a longer day instead.

Hotels in Singharaja
Sinharaja is Sri Lanka's most important rainforest and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is wet, green and full of endemic birds, and you will see most of it on foot with a guide. About four hours from Colombo, it rewards an overnight stay: the best birding is early in the morning. The lodges Rainforest Eco Lodge sits high in the forest edge and is designed to have a light footprint, with walks from the door. Mahoora Tented Safari Camp in Sinharaja offers comfortable tents close to the reserve, for travellers who want to sleep surrounded by the sounds of the forest. At a glance Hotel Area Style Rainforest Eco Lodge Sinharaja forest edge Eco lodge Mahoora Tented Safari Camp Near the reserve Tented camp What to do Birdwatching is the main activity: mixed feeding flocks with several endemic species pass through in the mornings.

Drier spells usually come from about January to April and again around August and September. See our Sinharaja guide or things to do in Sinharaja. Getting there Sinharaja has several entrances.
