With a wide sandy beach, big hotels, and handy proximity to Colombo, Negombo is one of Sri Lanka’s most popular resorts. Beyond its sands lies an interesting mix: a colonial-built canal and crumbled fort; a lively fish market, traditional fishing communities, and a wildlife-rich lagoon.

Uniquely situated between a river, a canal, and a coconut plantation, Waterland is a tropical oasis of towering coconut trees, flowering birds of paradise, and fragrant frangipani. Custom design, extensive use of teak and mahogany, and regional artwork give each villa a warm, unique character. With only 5 villas, Waterland is exclusive and intimate. Each villa has extensive indoor and outdoor living space and a private infinity-edge plunge pool that provides a refreshing sanctuary to cool off in the tropical climate. Our floating spa gently rocks with the flow of the river Our dining barge allows guests not simply to dine by the water, but on the water. Guest activities include cooking classes, garden tours, bicycling around the neighborhood, boat safaris, boules, billiards, yoga, and spa treatments. Come experience why Trip Advisor has named Waterland 1 of the 25 best Small Hotels in Sri Lanka.
The staff at Waterland, literally cannot do enough for you. Everything they do and say, is done so with the intention of providing you with a memorable experience. I think it's also important to note that they put just as much stock in the free activities as they do in the paid. As an example, Lahiru would often remind us that there are free bicycles to take whenever we like (we cycled to the beach) free pool table, books, games etc and only once did he say, oh we also do a paid boat tour if you want to see some of the wildlife and canals. The rooms themselves seem absolutely beautiful though we were only stayed in the deluxe 2 bed so i can't speak to the contents of the others. However the pool, the underwater lighting, the beautifully polished marble finish, the giant beds, the freshly ground morning coffee, the table football and the ridiculously sized bathrooms were just some of the villa's highlights. I know talking about money is a little vulgar in a review but the value on offer here is actually mindblowing to me. The amount of flavour the chef and their team squeeze into their servings is equally surprising. The coconut and lemongrass soup is honestly one of the tastiest dishes we've ever eaten. My wife could not get enough of the fruit salads and I personally couldn't get enough of the delicious french toast. I'd also like to mention how unique and relaxing their Spa is, it's literally floating on the river! You lay there, being gently rocked by the natural current!

Villa Kapuru is a classical styled boutique hotel located just 100 m from Negombo Beach and 20 minutes drive from International Airport. We have 10 air-conditioned deluxe en suite double rooms, LCD TV and mini refrigerator. Most of the rooms are having four poster wooden beds which reflect the classical style and some rooms have balconies over looking the swimming pool or canal.
This is a fab place to stay if like me you are on a tight budget. It's situated off the main road and is about 10 mins walk to the beach and restaurants. Most people transit through only staying a couple of nights due to the close proximity of the airport. I stayed 14 nights and it was a great base. The room was spacious with a balcony overlooking the pool. Breakfast was enough to keep you going all day. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely stay here again. I hope the situation in Sri Lanka gets resolved quickly so that these hotels can fully get back to normal welcoming visitors back to their beautiful country.

This was our first stay in Sri Lanka. Because of all the political turmoil, we were a bit scared to visit Negombo but we were greeted by the friendliest host we could imagine. The place has cottages in a beautiful garden with swimming pool. Sriraj the host did his very best to make sure we were happy and the breakfast and dinner were delicious! As a community service project, he also has a few boys working there that learn the hospitality trade and learn to speak English while helping the guests. We surely return for a final night stay on the last day of our trip before we take the plane!

I just came for a cooking class with Nilanthi, she teached me how to prepare Sri lankan rice and curry, several of them and how to make coconut milk. We had a great time and a fabulous dinner :)). I really recommend her class! After the class I was heading to the airport and she gave me a room to shower and have a short nap! The room is modern and very clean. Thank you Nilanthi & husband for your sincere hospitality!

Situated in the heart of the coastal tourist paradise of Negombo and located not more than 25 minutes from the Bandaranaike International Airport, “Oneli Residence” is an ideal destination for exploring sri lanka.
Mark has the sweetest little place and especially if you are travelling alone it is the perfect place. Both Mark and his family are so sweet and helpful and they make you feel very welcome. Mark and his wife made a Sri Lankan breakfast for me that was very good, but if you are not into that, they will make you a very good but more basic breakfast too. Mark is very good in English and you will get to know some Sri Lankan history. If you are not really sure where to start in Sri Lanka and what’s up and down, Mark is a certified tourist guide and will be ready to help with whatever you like and is able to take you on tours around Sri Lanka or just around Negombo if you rather want that. The room is very clean with an attached toilet, which has a great shower and the AC is a very nice touch to a very hot Sri Lankan. Also mark was ready to pick me up at the airport when I arrived in Sri Lanka, which was so nice not having to worry about after a long flight. Overall it was an amazing first couple of days in Sri Lanka where I felt save, welcomed and helped!

A good place to start or end your Sri Lanka trip, we did both. Great value for money and really helpful hosts. We felt really safe in the area and still managed to find places open to eat despite the recent curfew.
