Ranweli Holiday Village

This eco-friendly resort, set on a small island north of Negombo, is surrounded by mangrove forests, lagoons, rivers and ocean that attract a fabulous array of birds and wildlife. The hotel has its own private beach overlooked by its large pool and charmingly rustic bungalow-style accommodation. There are several room options from standard to deluxe but all are well-sized, decorated with local crafts and come with a good range of amenities. You can enjoy ocean or river views, and deluxe bungalows have the addition of a private outdoor terrace. You can make the most of the tropical surrounds with expert-led nature walks, bike rides and river trips, and there's even an evening dinner cruise for an extra special touch.
