The lookout lodge
Our boutique guest house located in the calm tropical coastal village of Rekawa, Tangalle. Here you can relax in complete comfort in our newly built look out lodge. You will feel pure tranquility in our gardens overlooking wetlands with an abundance of birds and wildlife. We'll have a in house chef so you can wake up to the mouth watering flavours of Sri Lankan cuisine. We are only a couple of minutes drive or a short walk from the glorious tropical wild beaches. See turtles lay their eggs on the sand in the night time at our famous turtle beach conservation or take a relaxing kayak on the salt water lagoon where you can escape the hustle of life, sit back and watch a wonderful sunset.
We are interested in sharing our hidden beauty of this side of the country and welcome guests anytime with open arms. We do fun activities such as evening turtle watch, sunset and sunrise kayaking, cooking and just enjoying life.
Quaint and chilled village it's a perfect place to get away from the hustle of the busy towns and touristic places. The beaches here are a tropical paradise, beautiful walks, great swimming and snorkelling spots, historical temples, national parks and a turtle conservation close by.
