KK Beach
A boutique hotel with exceptional design poised on the edge of Koggala Beach, a 1km stretch of unspoiled coastline just a short drive from Galle Fort. Perfect for those looking to balance plenty of activities with a peaceful place to relax.
Cape Weligama
An indulgence for those seeking the ultimate luxury beach hotel, boasting exquisite rooms, unparalleled service and fine dining. Its clifftop position provides glorious views of Weligama Bay, enjoyed best from the infinity-edge pool.
Samudra House

Parrotfish Bay
Perched on the edge of a deserted beach within easy distance of the water-sports and whale watching opportunities of Mirissa Bay, Parrotfish Bay is a stylish yet unfussy six-bedroom villa that offers good value in a privileged setting.
Coco Tangalla
Tangalle is Sri Lanka’s ultimate romantic getaway, a picture-perfect beach of golden sand and deep blue waves fringed with swaying palm trees. This laidback boutique hotel is crowned by an infinity-edge pool with sensational sea views.
Jetwing Surf
Arugam Bay is one of the top 10 surfing destinations in the world. Jetwing Surf is within easy reach of the best surf spots but is far enough away from town that it offers total tranquillity. For eco-minded souls who love rustic charm.
Uga Bay
Uga Bay is an indulgent escape for both couples craving privacy and families wanting the thrill of a wide range of water-sports. Passikudah Bay is particularly great for children because of its long stretch of shallow coastline.
Jungle Beach
