Top 10 Cottages in Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka

May 4, 2023 Hector Krause

Known by a flotilla of aliases, the Resplendent Isle is one of gorgeous beaches, tea plantations and ancient cities. Scuba dive, visit an elephant orphanage and a lagoon of singing fish, explore dense jungle, shrines and temples. Situated just 20 miles off India, the island formerly known as Ceylon is home to 20 million people and eight World Heritage sites. The country's long, brutal civil war ended in May, 2009, bringing peace, stability and a revival of tourism.

Roseland Cottages

Hidden paradise with beautiful view

Reviewed By wewid

Roseland Cottages was an exceptional stay in a wonderful location. It takes you a while to reach this hidden gem by car, but the location is rewarding. Only pure nature, without noise or light pollution, just the jungle and you. The rooms facing the valley offer you an amazing sunrise experience (younger people would say Instagram-view). The sound of all the birds and other animals is even better. The owners and their team make sure that you get to relax and offer a delicious breakfast, which you enjoy overlooking the nature. They have their own coffee plantation and organic vegetables. Of course their own coffee is served for breakfast. Our kids loved the small dog (6 months old), who is very playful and even followed us on our guided hiking trip through the plantation. Absolutely amazing and perfect stay in this hidden paradise!

Amanta Beach Resort

We propose a really nice B&B direct on the beach. Breakfast is included in the price. It is a small structure (only 8 rooms with 2 family rooms with beachview & a Suite Deluxe with a private little pool). There is an other shared little pool in a nice patio.

Sorry for the late review! We planned to stay for a couple of nights but ended up staying for five I think. Amanta was a fantastic last minute find. The owner and the staff were all amazingly helpful. The rooms are really nice with great bathrooms. The hotel was quiet so we were allowed a room for us and a room for our two children, aged six and nine. We ate in the restaurant each night which is worth a visit in itself! We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend Amanta to anyone visiting Nilaveli.

Resort Beem

Wonderful homestay

Reviewed By Oldgitabroard

We had a brilliant 1 night stay at Beam Resort. We arrived late but this was no problem for the very welcoming owners. We were offered continental or Sri Lankan breakfast and opted for Sri Lankan - delicious home cooked and loads of it! Which they later packed up for us to take for lunch! Comfy bed, WiFi & power even during the current government enforced cuts, due to them being located close by a hospital. And a beautiful garden balcony terrace to sit out on from our room! Would certainly stay again if we had more time in kandy!

Mama Cottage Ella

Great home base for exploring the wonderful nature

Reviewed By O6545QMbb

Unfortunately, we only spent one night in the beautiful accommodation. The house is located in the middle of nature a little above the centre, it is easy to walk there. We have been warmly welcomed with cake and had a spacious, clean room with balcony. We would have liked to stay longer, thank you very much.

We stayed for three nights in this lovely place. The family are so kind and helpful, and they made sure we saw as much as possible, arranging tours with an awesome taxi driver who took us everywhere around Sri Lanka and helped us get to Mirissa. The breakfast is amazing here with delicious, fresh homegrown good. They do so much to help you enjoy your stay and it is like heaven, with amazing views and a wonderful treehouse. We hope many guests will come and enjoy this wonderful place in future. Best wishes!
