Hi,

Almost all srilankan hotels, villas, apartments, etc can be online accessed through leading hotel booking websites. Tourists can access these accommodations 24x7 round the year. world heritage sites are also here which invite a different flavor of tourism in the nation.

The Sun House, Galle


Once the home of a Scottish spice merchant, this colonial house built in the 1860’s has been converted into a small hotel which exudes a country house atmosphere. With 7 highly individual bedrooms, it is well known for its fine dining, its privacy, its eclectic collection of artwork, books and furniture. Perched high on a hill yet only a 5 minute stroll away from the centre of the seaside town of Galle, The Sun House offers panoramic views of the Galle and the world heritage site of Fort Galle.

Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day. But even at luxury hotels, you get the same old, same old: a choice of English (meat, eggs, toast, coffee), continental (English minus the meat and eggs) and Sri Lankan breakfasts (string hoppers and such).

I was complaining about this to my wife when we went to the Sun House in Galle for our anniversary. It is a colonial-era bungalow built by a Scottish (Broon!) spice merchant that has been converted into a 7 room hotel. It's really well done: they've kept the colonial style but added modern furniture and design touches. And they've cranked the colour wheel to 11 - everything in the rooms that isn't white is riotously colourful.

We stayed in the Araliya room which has a four poster bed. This is important if your spouse is of a romantic bent as mine is: she watches the BBC's Pride and Prejudice and swoons for Firth about once a month. Everything in this room that wasn't white was green and blue, albeit a tasteful, Barefoot-y green and blue. Just outside the room are the tables for individual dining, set on the bungalow verandah. The verandah looks out to the garden of Araliya trees and pool.

We were on that verandah - yours truly whining about boring breakfasts - when the waiter brought the breakfast menu. I noticed that there was something I hadn't seen before - a dish called the Sun House Cheese Chilli Tomato Eggs (or something like that.) I was expecting something like a Sri Lanka savoury omelette. What I got was...well, let me explain.

They had diced tomatoes, chopped a few green chillis and, with some spicing, made it into a chunky base. Three fried eggs were placed on the base, with some of the base scooped over the edge of the eggs. Finally, cheese had been sprinkled liberally and melted over the eggs.

First, it was really good. Really, really good. It had Sri Lankan touches. And it was very different, like a Sri Lanka huevos rancheros.

The Sun House is relatively expensive and does have its weak points: it serves weak, terrible tea, there's no beach access and it's a fair walk to the Galle Fort. But these eggs put those negatives in perspective - it's tasteful, relaxing, beautiful, romantic and serves an amazing breakfast. What more could you want?

Hotel Name: The Sun House

Address: Upper Dickson Rd (Take Galle Rd past the fort toward Matara; turn right just when you come to the fish market; go straight across Main St and take the road going up the hill)

Sinharaja Sri Lanka Hotel Review - Rainforest Edge Kalawana - Hilltop Mudhouse

Despite the Sinharaja rainforest being the single most popular destination among local tourists - or maybe because it is? - there are very few hotels there. I've already reviewed Rock View Motel near Sinharaja which is a basic, low-priced experience at around LKR 5,000 full board double. And here is a review of Boulder Garden, a posh but occasionally dank experience, at above LKR 15,000 full board double.

If you're like Goldilocks, Rainforest Edge Sinharaja is like the baby bear. Not too expensive and not too basic.

Rainforest Edge is perched at the top of a tea hill in Kalawana, 8km past the Sinharaja forest entrance. It is not really easy to get to at all but the drive is worth it. It is what they call a luxury eco lodge. What this oxymoron means is that, while the bedrooms have mud walls, thatched roofs and lacquered wooden beds, the mattresses are better than you have at home and the bathroom has better fittings than many hotels in Colombo. The rooms are airconditioned too. It is unnecessary: being open to the tea mountain breezes, the rooms are cool enough that even a fan is unnecessary.

Food is basic but good Sri Lankan rice and curry. It's served like a buffet but cooler. And you end up with Sri Lankan desserts like sago that you used to try to avoid as a kid.

RE has electricity but, at night, the place is lit with storm lanterns giving it a radiant low key glow.

The ayurveda spa has an innovation: the tub is perched on a outcropping on the edge of the hill. So what you see as you lie there is a vertiginous view of the surrounding hills.

Service at Rainforest Edge was excellent; it is managed by the same company as Boulder Garden. But they went beyond the call for us, to the point where they biked to Kalawana town to get me some jumper cables for a dead battery.

What I love about this place is that you get two experiences in one trip: the rainforest and, after a day of trekking, tired and famished, you get to lie down on really comfortable beds with good linen and eat a hearty meal.

Not that we did that, of course: we spent the whole day in the room watching DVDs. But it was still good to think we could have.

Hotel Name: Rainforest Edge Sinharaja
Address: Kalawana, Sri Lanka
Directions: 8km past the Sinharaja entrance is the beginning of the road upwards
Phone: +94 45 225 5912.
Rates (full board double): LKR 9,800​
