My third visit to palagama was as fantastic as my previous stays
My daughter and I spent four nights at the laid back resort
What a relaxing place so authentic... read more and unassuming
And virage and his team could not do enough for us
We were pampered from beginning to end
Thanks again virage and all the crew
Hope to be back soon

  This place is pretty much everything that a getaway needs to be. I'll drop a few caveats at the end.
- Surrounded only by the sounds of nature and an... read more incredible array of plant life in the lush area right by the sea, it's a truly visceral experience.
- The rooms have a feeling of intimacy, like your own little home in tiny seaside village, something that really made Palagama Beach stand out for me. If you like the outdoors like I do, a seaside cabana with a view of the ocean and seabirds should have you in the best possible mood.
- Free evening tea and snacks! WINNER.
- An infinity pool with possibly some of the best private sunsets you'll see.
- One of my TOP service experiences. Some incredibly nice people looking after you.
- Decent Wi-fi (which is generally hard to come by, especially way out here).
Caveats:
- Logistics can be tricky. It's relatively isolated. A good thing in my opinion.
- The opposite of the modern commercial hotel experience, so maybe not for you if that's what you're into.
Bonus:
- A very Zen spa service and yoga space (I didn't use these services, but my friend did.) More
