Stayed for two weeks in January when we wanted some peace and quiet from a very busy home-based business. The view from room 3 is amazing, stretching over the marshland; felt as if we were living in the treetops. It is away from the main tourist area but a lovely 10-15 minute walk to the gorgeous beach. Perfect hosts and... More

Karen and Rohan organised a fantastic holiday for us. We are a group of 3 well travelled married couples in our sixties visiting Sri Lanka for the first time.

Thank you to karen, Rohan and the boys and not forgetting the gate man for making this a wonderful holiday. SHANGRI-LANKA is a great place to stay. We loved the spacious rooms, breakfasts and the lovely pool. We would definately recommend your place to friends. You certainly deserve your number one place on tripadvisor. Say hello to the dogs.

We stayed at the Shangri Lanka for 3 weeks late November to mid December. Hamar picked us up at the airport with a warm welcome despite having waited six hours for our delayed plane. The new highway shortened the journey time to 2 ½ hours (the average speed in Sri Lanka appears to be 30km an hour). The website does... More
