We really loved our stay in Ferola. Everything was new, super clean and comfortable. The staff was really attentive, friendly and polite. The swimming pool and lounge area are big and not too crowded. The pool is clean. The food was great as well. It’s located in a rather quiet area, but there are still many restaurants and bars nearby. I would recommend renting a scooter for easy access to different beaches on both sides of the coastline. A bigger shopping street is about 10 minutes away on foot. I would definitely recommend it for a relaxing and stress-free stay.

Absolutely the Best Way to Explore the Sinharaja Rainforest! This was our favourite place we stayed on Sri Lanka trip. This eco-lodge is hands down the ultimate way to experience the magic of the Sinharaja Rainforest. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear you’re in for something extraordinary. The location is beyond words—completely surrounded by lush rainforests, making you feel truly immersed in nature. It is so peaceful and quite - no noise from roads, traffic etc. The staff made our entire stay seamless and stress-free. They have a convenient car park in the nearby village, where they meet you and transfer you up to the lodge in a 4x4—what a fun start to the adventure! We stayed for two nights (but would have happily stayed a 3rd). The accommodation is spectacular. Large windows on every side of the room allow you to feel like you’re right in the heart of the jungle. Waking up to the incredible sounds of the rainforest was unforgettable, and we even spotted monkeys and exotic birds right in our room! Amazingly, you also get wifi in your room. The staff were outstanding, from the friendly restaurant team to the knowledgeable guides. On arrival, the Duty Manager, Mithun, warmly welcomed us, explained all the details about meal times, and helped us plan treks into the rainforest. They offer a variety of treks and provide you with a guide. They are also pretty flexible, We wanted a longer trek to explore more of the jungle and this wasn't a problem. The trek itself was a dream. We spotted an incredible variety of wildlife, including lizards, snakes, and a stunning array of Sri Lankan birds. The guides were so knowledgeable and enhanced the experience. Overall, this was incredible value for money. Running such a well-maintained eco-lodge in the middle of the rainforest can’t be easy, yet they make it feel effortless. If you’re looking for great value for money and an unforgettable way to explore Sinharaja, this is absolutely it.

Breakfast was not included, but we always ate at the hotel. One of the best breakfast of Sri Lanka (at least on our jurney). We also tried a fwe lunch/dinner options and I have to say - they were quite good. The hotel is on a quiet beach Dickwella, but the noisy and livley Hirikiteya beach is only a short distance away (15 minutes walking). We loved the surfing there, but the beach is quite crwded and small so we loved ours a lot more. The Dickwella beach is big and uncrowded and we loved the combo of the two. ALso on Dickwella is the wonderfull restaurant Smoke and bitters - the one place where is worth to go all in - the food is amazing. Book a table - you will not be sorry. The service is really quick too.

We had a perfect stay! The room was very clean and cozy. The pool was just perfect after a long hike in the rainforest. The staff also organized our rainforest tour, which was such a nice experience. Good food and you can watch monkeys right from the terrace. I really can recommend to stay at this hotel and also wandering around the beautiful surrounding area.

The best choice in Mirissa. Just next to the beach. The best thing is to relax in your room while listening to the wave sound. It's so soothing. Spacious rooms with clean toilets. The staff were very helpful and always wore a smile. Breakfast and dinners were awesome.

Beataz was an amazing evening time place, the view was unbeatable and the food was amazing. La luna had a quick lunch spot too. It was very easy to find things around, we got a scooter and rode around town. Surfing lessons are absolutely worth it, it was fun! We went to dots afterwards in the evening and it was amazing! 2-3 nights was just right to experience the best things.

If you want to explore sinharaja, there are two options. you can go with a guide(may charge 5000). or you can get a safari jeep. but it only goes like 5KM in side the forest. and will charge 10000. we went both sinharaja and patna for 10000.if you explore singharaja. it takes full day. but if you get a safari. it takes like 3 hours, but you can't explore whole forest.

Pristine beaches and clean water!

Pristine beaches and clean water! There are so many amazing restaurants and cafes in the area. I can only imagine how things are during the peak seasons! there are tuks and buses available which will get you to most places. and there is plenty to do that is a walkable distance away too! from turtle watching, snorkeling, or surfing (in season). Smoke and bitters is super closeby, as are a number of highly rated bars, cafes and restaurants.

I had a really lovely stay at The Sevana. It’s peaceful, set in nature, and feels very easy to relax into. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the food is fresh and full of flavour, and everything feels well thought through. The team were warm and helpful without being over the top. Just a really nice place to switch off. Will definitely return!

1. Stay at Three Gables if you have the budget. 2. Polhena beach for a swim in the sea. 3. The Doctor's House for the vibe 4. Coconut Tree Hill if you need some good pictures on a hill overlooking the sea. 5. Can go to Welligama (20 mins) if you're interested in surfing. 6. Whale watching if it interests you.

This little surfing town has my heart. It’s a small place with two amazing beaches just a 15-minute walk apart, and the locals are incredible — always happy to help. The food, cafes, and pool clubs are all great. I had my first surfing experience here and I’m already eager to try it again. The vibe is just amazing.

Weligama is a surf hub with lots of trendy spots for food.

Weligama is a surf hub with lots of trendy spots for food. There are hidden beaches and family restaurant eats too. It can be a bit hectic and it was a bit disappointing that swimming at the main beach was not appealing but we overall enjoyed the stay as a hub for accessing other beaches including coconut, jungle and Mirissa.
