Accommodation in Sri Lanka

Where will you stay in Sri Lanka?

We specialise in carefully sourced, small-scale accommodations rich in local character— steering clear of large chain hotels in favour of warmth and personality. While exploring Sri Lanka, you can enjoy a variety of unique accommodation options that will enhance your experience in this remarkable country.

How it works

We work with a range of properties in each location, each personally checked by us and chosen for its comfort, character, location, and amenities. This gives us the flexibility to find the perfect spot, improves availability during busy times, and allows us to offer upgrades or customise your experience to fit your preferences. We use different categories to classify our accommodation in Sri Lanka.

Here’s what to expect from your Rickshaw accommodation:

Most of our accommodations in Sri Lanka fall into our standard category (category 3). When picking hotels for this category, we’re looking for something small-scale with typical Sri Lankan character and a warm welcome. You could stay in a rural hotel with panoramic views of the mountains, a cosy B&B in a National Park or a relaxing retreat on an undiscovered beach.

In-Style accommodation - Category 4

In this category you’ll discover accommodation that offers a touch of something truly extraordinary. Some extra creature comforts here, a little more style there or an unrivalled location. It could be an eco-friendly resort surrounded by mangrove forests and winding rivers, a spacious cottage amongst tropical gardens or a British-themed hotel amongst the tea hills.

Special stays

In some destinations, we’ve found places that add an extra touch of something special. This doesn’t always mean more luxury, but it does mean a unique ambiance and vibe. Think of iconic hotels rich in history or quirky properties in amazing locations. If you’re interested in including a standout stay during your trip to Sri Lanka, just let your Travel Specialist know.

Simple accommodation - Category 2

Sometimes in Sri Lanka the comfort of your accommodation just isn’t as important as what you’ll experience. In this category you might stay in a local family home where you can get a unique insight into Sri Lankan life, a modest guesthouse in the shadow of Adam’s peak or a tented lodge where you can fall asleep to the sounds of nature.
