See, feel, love Palagama Beach

Most resorts are artificial. Closed off security walls, rows of sun loungers,
where’s the authenticity? Where’s that connection you feel inside?

Forget typical hotels. Discover a truly unique Sri Lankan experience at Palagama Beach.
​
We have redefined the holiday concept. The vision of world-renowned designer Cecil
Balmond OBE and his son John was simple – to create beautiful, sustainable living spaces, blending traditional Sri Lankan design with a touch of the contemporary.

Palagama Beach is a ‘village’ of 16 cabanas and villas nestled in the heart of the
peninsular. Everything here is designed to bring you back to nature, from the eco-
Cajun and illuk roofs, to the rugged coastline and luscious greenery.

We know how precious your holiday is. You need to have everything just the way you like it. To us you’re a person, not a number. That’s why we offer a variety of lovingly designed homes, each with its own charm and character, as well as a range of activities (Dolphin watching anyone?) to connect you with this beautiful island.

At Palagama Beach time fades away. It’s just you, tranquility and Sri Lanka’s natural beauty.

  •   My wife and I stayed here for 2 days in early September 2018. It was low season so very quiet. The staff were most accommodating and helpful and attentive. Unfortunately when we were there they did not have an alcohol licence and the selection of...More

      Well away from the main road down unmade tracks . Right on the beach on a reasonably big plot but with neighbouring houses / hotels alongside. The cabins are designed to be rustic but we thought they were maybe in need of maintenance. The shower/...More

      We had a very good stay at Palagama beach. Very spacious garden cabana with a nice and warm open air shower. Good bed, mosquito net and all clean and tidy. Beautiful garden, good pool and good food. And on top of that: very friendly and helpful staff. Pool towels are provided.

  •   We had a perfect stay here. excellent pool, and excellent food BUT the service was outstanding. Very relaxed.Lovely long beach walks collecting cowries. Whale watching was very special - small boat, no threat to the dolphins or whales and many sightings.

      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 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

      We stayed for a whole week in the hope of really unwinding, seeing some Sri Lankan wildlife and eating lovely local food. And we were not disappointed at all. Our beachside cabana was much more spacious than we thought it would be and we had our own private space outside too. Loved the outdoor bathroom too.

    The staff were all really friendly and very efficient and the food was delicious. They even offered to mix up what was on the menu for us to add variety as we were there for such a long time.

    The pool is amazing with the best sunsets over the ocean you could wish for. The pool is also lovely - really big and the perfect temperature for cooling off after sunning yourself or a day’s sightseeing.

    We did the half day safari to Wilpattu which was great and the dolphin watching trip right from the beach in front of the hotel.

    Lovely. More
