Tree of Life Resort

Bentota - 1,100 yards from beach

Situated in Bentota, 1.4 km from Bentota Beach, Tree of Life Resort features accommodation with a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. The property is set 1 km from Bentota Lake, 1.3 km from Bentota Railway Station and 2.2 km from Aluthgama Railway Station. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi. We loved our stay at Tree of Life. This truly is a gem of a boutique hotel. The room is so clean and comfortable with an incredible shower and bathroom. You feel like you are living in a truly safe and private home. The hotel is about a ten min walk to the beautiful beach in Bentota but we always took advantage of the free Tuktuk rides from the most amazing staff that work so hard. They all go above and beyond to make sure their guests are well cared for. Upul and his wife treat you like friends of the family and we felt blessed to have met them. Upul took us on memory making excursions. We went on the river safari, Yala national park, a trip to Galle taking in the moonstone mine and topped off by releasing baby turtles into the sea at sunset. We had fabulous food at Tree of Life and also recommend Malis and Vintage as great spots to eat. On our last night, the team gave us a farewell dinner that we will never forget. My husband enjoyed a red snapper from that morning’s catch and I had the most incredible prawns. It was such a kind gesture and we were really touched by their generosity. This is a very special place to be and we highly recommend you stay here. Thank you so much to everyone at Tree of Life for giving us the most memorable holiday. We will be back!

Ahu Bay 5 stars

Ahungalla - 400 yards from beach

Located in Ahungalla, 300 metres from Kosgoda Beach, Ahu Bay provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. Providing a restaurant, the property also has a terrace and a bar. The resort also features free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. The hotel is located in one of the most picturesque areas in Ahangama opening up to the sea. Whichever room option you select, you are guaranteed an amazing view of the ocean. The hotel is situated next to probably the most amazing beach as well. You can swim here for hours on end as the waves are sort of calm because of the natural breakwater created by the rocks around. The service is immaculate. We had butler-like service answering to our every need. The waiting staff during the meals were also super friendly and attentive. We loved taking all of our meals at the property. The food was also delicious and one of our highlights during the stay – particularly the dinner from the a la carte menu. This hotel is just one of those we can have more of in the coast of Sri Lanka. The people, food and views all combined to make our stay super memorable.
