Explorer by Mahoora - Kumana

Explorer by Mahoora in Kumana are located on the border of the National Park, allowing you the freedom of seeing everything that nature has to offer, in the shortest possible time. Kumana is renowned for its ample birdlife particularly waterfowl and wading birds. Since the park is adjacent to Yala National Park you can also observe mammals such as the Sri Lankan Leopard and Elephant within Kumana. To reach the park there are two routes you can take from Colombo and the distance is approximately 391 km. The mobile tents in the camp are designed according to the “pack in-pack out” concept, where camps are set up prior your arrival and dismantled upon your departure. Camps are equipped with luxurious facilities such as private bathroom, carpeted flooring, hot water, mosquito netting and even private patios. Rates are inclusive of entrance fees to the park and all other related charges for two days, cost of a jeep, beverages, lunches and dinners and fees for the expert naturalist guide.

Tented experience within the national park

Reviewed By Mandeville1322

We spent 4 days here as the second camp within the Mahoora tented campsites. Located by a quiet river on the edge of the park allowed us easy access to the wonderful sights and sounds of the park. With the mix of lagoons, woods and open areas the park delivered as a true wildlife experience with elephants and leopard sightings over the time in the park. Given the location we spent most of the day in the park with the evenings spent by the fire eating a wonderful array of sri lankan food. As we had our own guide our party were the only people in the camp increasing the feeling and experience of solitude and a real "wild" experoience.

I loved this hotel. No pretension. A/C. Airy, spacious room. Solid furniture. Comfortable bed. A shady spot outside our room to read, which I did for long spells. Everything we needed to feel comfortable, secure and happy. Plus the best breakfast, which changed daily. PS the other guests were lovely.

Perfect

Reviewed By MT091986

We have stayed at 3 places in A Bay and this was the best! Clean, comfortable rooms with instant hot water and new AC units. Hammocks to relax in. Faizel the owner is extraordinarily helpful and friendly. He makes a good breakfast and an incredible dinner of hummus, falafel and salad. Ask him about it! A few minutes walk to the Main Street and Main Point. Highly recommended.

Uppuveli Beach House

Amazing host!

Reviewed By marylL8324IE

We had an amazing time here. The rooms are really clean and comfortable. But what the stay made unique was our host. He was the best host I’ve ever met. So friendly and tried to make everything possible so we could have the best stay in Trincomalee. He arranged trips for us, drove us to the city and to our buses to continue traveling. If we had a wish he phoned everyone he knew just to give us the best offer. I was super happy to stay there and would definitely stay there again.10 of 10 points.

Alaia Resort

Superb location, spacious, lovely rooms with either lagoon or sea views, high standards throughout

Reviewed By gdp12obr

The hotel is located a few minutes walk from the main surf beach - you just have to cross the road and walk through a field adjoining the lagoon. Safety cannot be better since there is a Security forces detachment across the road. The owner, a retired senior Air Force Officer, lives in the hotel, maintains very high standards and knows the area and the whole of Sri Lanka intimately. Great rooftop entertainment space which overlooks both sea and lagoon, ideal for sundowners while listening to the surf pounding the beach. Highlight of my visit was a camping trip organised very professionally by the hotel to Kumana National Park. In addition to all the usual wildlife I saw 3 leopards during the evening and morning game drive. Camping by a river in the middle of the jungle, with a campfire cooking delicious BBQ'd food and a brilliant star filled night sky overhead is to be very highly recommended.

Cocoville

Live in absolute privacy in one of three custom designed, asian style luxury chalets with a private magical beach on a lush Coconut Plantation

A touch of paradise ?

Reviewed By Sharon R

Loved the feel of Cocoville the moment we stepped out of the car, surrounded by palm trees ? and a relaxing homey feel, like our own private paradise. A small and very friendly team of workers who give you the space you need but always there if you need. The calm, clear waters perfect for splashy about and the wide beach to walk along. It was the perfect getaway.
