Shout out to Roshan the chef, amazing food from breakfast to the dinners. We only had dinner once but they went out of the way to make sure as vegetarians we were well taken care of.

Located in Weligama in the Matara District region, with Midigama Beach nearby, The Whitegates Lodge provides accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking, as well as access to a hot tub.

The lodge offers a terrace. The location of this accommodation is fantastic, situated just a quick 50-meter walk from the beach and offering incredibly easy access to Galle Road. The room and linen were exceptionally clean, which made for a very comfortable stay. We especially appreciated the quality of the bathroom fittings and the convenience of having a private entrance and a personal fridge (not a mini-bar) in the room. This added a lot of value and privacy to our visit. ​As a small suggestion for improvement, it would be beneficial to add a curtain to the bathroom window for enhanced privacy.

Featuring mountain views, Natural Mystic Sanctuary in Deniyaya features accommodation, a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, a garden, a terrace and a restaurant. Complimentary WiFi is available.

Some units have a balcony and/or a patio with lake views. This place is truly a sanctuary of peace and pure nature. We arrived in the early afternoon, walking up a stone path, which was not a problem having light bags. The staff welcomed us warmly, and we immediately felt like being in paradise - the great valley views, forest, and small river. The room was super nice with wooden furniture, a comfy bed, a large outdoor lounge and a hammock. Later, we had a refreshing swim in the natural pool surrounded by forest. Dinner was great as well, really fresh and well combined local cuisine. In the night, we watched fireflies and bats buzzing around with sounds of frogs and crickets. It was nicely cool, and we even had the windows open to enjoy the sounds and have a breeze. Surprisingly, there were not many mosquitos due to the higher altitude. We highly recommend staying a few days more, which we will do when coming next time.

With garden views, Hiriketiya Suka Place is set in Hiriketiya and has a restaurant, room service, bar, garden and terrace. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge.

For added convenience, the property can provide towels and bed linen for an extra charge. If you’re staying in Hiri this is a great option, the grounds are so well maintained. Our villa was really clean, equipped with all the amenities we needed (like gas stove for cooking and teas.) Over our stay we saw monkeys, peacocks, squirrels and even a tortoise, which we really enjoyed. Restaurants and Hiri beach are right down the hill.

The cabana was very clean, comfortable, and peaceful, and the atmosphere was beautiful with a lovely view of the hills. For the price we paid, it was absolutely worth it. The service was excellent, and the food was very tasty and delicious. The person who looked after us was extremely kind-hearted, friendly, and helpful. He assisted us with everything we needed and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. Overall, we had a great holiday because of this cabana, and there was nothing to complain about.

Offering garden views, Subodinee Bungalow in Weligama offers accommodation, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, a terrace and a restaurant. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge. Wonderful place close to the beach, but still quiet and secluded. The hosts are super nice and helpful.

Walking distance, 3 min., to Midigama center. We will most ceirtainly come back!
