I have just spent a week at Ranvelli whilst in Sri Lanka for the England Test in Colombo. Whilst the rooms would benefit from better, more comfortable beds, the hotel itself is great. The rooms are kept very clean along with the rest of the hotel and there is also a very pleasant garden area with loungers, tables and umbrellas... More

A paradise in itself Ranvelli Beach Resort tucked away at Mount Lavina, an hours drive away from Colombo airport, is so ideal for you to chill, shut out the world and just relax your mind and body.
