Yala Village Hotel
Overlooking the historic Yala lighthouse, this hotel opened in 2003. It blends subtly into scrub forest, close to Yala Game Park, arguably providing the best leopard sanctuary in Asia. Forty well-appointed chalets, which come in three different sizes (single, twin and quad) enjoy a scenic location, stretching from a lagoon to the border of Palatupana-Kirinda beach, which boasts some of Sri-Lanka's finest unspoilt sand.

Rainforest Edge
Rainforest Edge is a newly opened rustic boutique style property set on a hilltop at the edge of the UNESCO World Heritage Singharaja rainforest. The property offers 7 unique rooms (1 family room) with spectacular views over the tea plantations. For the more active, kayaking, mountain biking and jungle trekking can be arranged. The pool is a natural water pool, energy is solar or kerosene lamps – no TVs or telephones – and most of the Sri Lankan cooking uses locally grown organic fare, much produced on the property itself.

Dutch House
This nineteenth century property, set on a hill above Galle, has been beautifully restored and converted to provide four delightful suites. The very spacious rooms all have high ceilings, four poster beds and period furniture, and the grounds are beautifully tended, with a large lawn (perfect for croquet) and an inviting infinity-edge pool. The food is excellent, with guests invited to discuss their preferences with the chef.
