Mount Lavinia

A colonial style hotel, which was once the home to the British Governors in Sri Lanka, sits on a stunning promontory overlooking the Indian Ocean. The hotel has a lovely secluded sandy beach, a spa and a wide range of facilities including a restaurant, coffee shop, tennis courts and a beautifully situated swimming pool.

The Ladyhill

A simple hotel set in a residential area of Galle with just 16 rooms with ceiling fan and balcony. The hotel has a small swimming pool, restaurant and rooftop bar with the most amazing views of over the city and beyond.

Centuria Hotel, Embilipitiya

A simple hotel set on the edge of a reservoir and in a prime location for visiting Udawalawe National Park. All 50 rooms have private bathrooms, air-conditioning, TV, telephone, mini-fridge, and balcony. The hotel has a restaurant, bar and Ayuverdic health centre.

St Andrews, Nuwara Eliya

The St Andrews hotel sits 6,182 feet above sea level cradled amidst the mist covered mountains. This stately Tudor style colonial mansion, which is over 100 years old, still preserves the charms of the colonial era with its typical English hill country ambience. The resident naturalist leads nature walks to the forested ridge behind the hotel.
The hotel offers a restaurant serving delicious food grown in the garden, a cosy bar and lounge area with a roaring log fire, and billiard room. The hotel offers 40 standard rooms offering television, telephone, heaters and private bathroom with bath and shower.

Chaaya Citadel

A first class hotel set on a hillside overlooking the majestic Mahaweli river only 20 mins drive from the centre of Kandy. The hotel 121 river view rooms, offering air-conditioning, en-suite bathroom with shower, balcony, TV, safety deposit box, telephone, mini-bar and hairdryer. The hotel has a swimming pool, sun terrace, table tennis, billards and snooker. Enjoy an international buffet in the main restaurant, or perhaps try the A la Carte fine dining restaurant.

Ranweli Beach Extension

The charm and atmosphere of Ranweli lie not simply in its peaceful location on its own private peninsula, but also in the personal style of its management and service. Very much the passion of its owners, whom we have known and worked with for some 20 years, this is a delightfully individual hotel. Reaching Ranweli across the river by hand-cranked ferry ride, you walk through a water-lily courtyard to reach the main hotel. The resort, of good medium class standard, is built in the style of a traditional Sri Lankan village and the architecture blends easily into the natural environment. It is fronted by a long sandy beach and its tropical gardens with over 70 species of trees, shrubs and flowers are also home to some 90 species of birds. It is a pleasure for walking or relaxing.

The 72 bungalow-style rooms are decorated with handmade fabrics and locally produced artefacts, which enhance the overall natural ambience. All rooms are comfortably furnished with air-conditioning, telephone, private bathrooms, small seating area and terrace.
