Family hotels and homes in Tanamalwila

All we needed was just relax and take same rest in the quiet place after long way on motorbike and we received exactly this. Staff was very nice, professional, and the food was good. There is a swimming pool and beautiful garden where you can see a lot of animals. Room is also very well equipped.

Peaceful surroundings in the countryside.

Ik zal mijn review in het Engels schrijven, ik hoop namelijk dat zoveel mogelijk mensen dezelfde geweldige ervaring zullen hebben als ik. This small-scale eco retreat near Thanamalwila turned out to be an unexpected gem. Dilan and Dhanushka, together with the quiet but essential Shashi, run this place with great dedication and heartfelt hospitality. They're in the process of turning it into a sustainable and locally rooted resort — and you can feel that in every detail. We stayed in a wooden cabin above a pond, beautifully lit at night with candles in coconut shells and little lamps in the trees. The bathroom has no roof above the shower, so you're literally showering under the open sky. A little frog on the toilet seat? Comes with the territory. It’s wonderfully peaceful here. From the veranda, you can spot birds, squirrels, monitor lizards and frogs. At night, it’s dark and quiet, with only the soft glow of oil lamps. When our son got tired after dinner, a mattress was already waiting under the tree by the dining tables — so we could stay and chat a little longer while he drifted off to sleep. By car, we visited a nearby river where monkeys leapt between the trees above and tiny fish gently nibbled at our feet — swimming in the current was a treat. No other people around. Just nature. A real highlight was the visit to the local market with Dilan, followed by a cooking class from Dhanushka’s mother. Nothing staged — just cooking and tasting together, the way it's done at home. During a relaxed BBQ under the trees, someone brought out a guitar and music followed naturally — a perfect example of Sri Lankan warmth and spontaneity. The safari to the quieter part of Yala (blocks V and VI) was stunning. We saw elephants, a leopard, crocodiles and countless birds — all without the crowds you’ll find elsewhere. A short walk across the estate took us along numerous elephant trails to a large rock with sweeping views of the landscape and the setting sun.

The stuff were really friendly and accommodation looks amazing, its so clean, spacious and modern looking 😊

Lovely stay, beyond my expectations. The staff is exquisite and the food delicous.

Recently came from vacation to Sri Lanka from Munich and My stay at Flamingo Nature Resort in Weerawila was an absolute delight and a truly authentic SriLankan experience. Being surrounded by such beautiful nature, especially with the tranquil lake right there, really brought a sense of inner peace. Waking up to the sounds of nature and just taking in the views was incredibly calming and helped me truly relax and disconnect from the everyday hustle. I was also so impressed with how clean everything was. Our room was absolutely spotless - you could tell they take cleaning very seriously, which made the stay even more comfortable and worry-free. It's always reassuring to know that your space is so well-maintained. Beyond the beauty and cleanliness, I also felt a real sense of safety and security during my time there. The environment felt calm and well-looked after, and the staff were always attentive and present, which added to that feeling of being in a secure and comfortable place. Highly recommend!

Lovely quiet location with very comfortable rooms. The hosts were really helpful in arranging a safari and showing us some of the local sites, they were super friendly and we enjoyed meeting them. We were also very grateful for the delicious Sri Lankan food that was provided at our request.
