Experience Culture, Craft, and Nature

Discover Traditional Palm Wine Production

Just a short walk from our hotel lies a village known for its centuries-old toddy tradition. Watch as the skilled toddy tapper moves gracefully from palm to palm on a rope, collecting fresh coconut sap. This sap is used to craft coconut toddy (palm wine), the famous Sri Lankan Arrack, coconut vinegar, and coconut honey – all made by hand using traditional methods.

Authentic Community Fishing

Another highlight is the traditional net fishing practiced by local villagers. Working together, they pull large nets in from the shore – an authentic and visually stunning experience for visitors. Don’t miss the chance to taste freshly caught fish, a favorite among both locals and guests.

Vibrant Weekly Market Every Tuesday

Just a few steps from the hotel, a lively local market takes place every Tuesday from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM. While mainly catering to the local community, it’s a colorful and immersive experience for anyone wanting to explore authentic Sri Lankan village life.

Discover Ancient Temples and Sacred Sites

The area surrounding the hotel is rich in historic temples and spiritual places. Our hotel staff will be happy to help you arrange personalized tours to these culturally significant landmarks.

Beruwela – The Region’s Largest Fishing Harbor

Only a 15-minute drive from the hotel, the Beruwela fishing harbor is the largest in the area. Here, countless fishing boats return daily with fresh catches from Sri Lanka’s 200-nautical-mile exclusive sea zone – a must-see for maritime enthusiasts.

Sri Lanka’s Tallest Buddha Statue & the Bentota River

Another highlight is Sri Lanka’s tallest Buddha statue, located at Kande Vihara Temple, just 20 minutes from the hotel. Combine your visit with a stop at the scenic Bentota River, a peaceful spot ideal for relaxation and reflection.
