Great value and high quality Sri Lankan guesthouses for your Sri Lankan holiday. Located in village, river or beach environments and decorated with character. Most guesthouses are family run with friendly service albeit a lower staff to guest ratio. Many have a separate restaurant open to non-residents ensuring exciting local menus and daily fresh food. Characterful architecture, smaller in size and sometimes compromised by their lack of a swimming pool.
Our specialists have reviewed and selected the best beach guesthouses and these can often balance some luxury boutique selections to meet your budget.
