Good to know
The resort offers a private beach, but the strong currents make it unsafe for swimming. Still, it’s a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a good book on one of the beach loungers. If you’re keen to swim in the sea, head to Blue Beach, just a 10 to 15-minute tuk-tuk ride away. The reception team will be happy to arrange transportation for you.

Passport and Visa
When planning a trip to Sri Lanka, it's crucial to ensure that your passport remains valid for at least six months beyond your return date. Children, irrespective of age, must also have their own passport or identity card. Additionally, obtaining a visa is necessary for your stay, which can be conveniently done online at http://www.eta.gov.lk/slvisa. The cost of a visa for a 30-day, double-entry stay is around $50 USD, while children under 12 receive theirs free of charge. After filling out your details on the visa application link and making the necessary payment, you'll promptly receive confirmation of your application. Note that this confirmation doesn't serve as your visa; you'll receive that later. If you don't receive the email confirmation, check your spam folder or contact the sender. Upon arrival in Sri Lanka, you'll be required to fill out an 'arrival' card, available at the immigration desk. For stays exceeding 30 days, it's advisable to contact the Sri Lankan Embassy to apply for an extended visa. Ensure you have all necessary travel documents in order, and if you're not a Dutch national or resident, it's essential to consult the relevant embassy or consulate for specific travel requirements.
Health Information for Travellers
Vaccinations for Sri Lanka are not mandatory, but it's advisable to get vaccinated against DTP and Hepatitis A and B. For further guidance, please consult your GP or visit a health travel clinic at least six weeks prior to your departure.

een paar laatste dagen na onze rondreis door Sri Lanka. fijn is dat je massages kunt boeken. Ontwerp van kamers, SPA en zwembad is stijlvol en smaakvol, maar bovenal moet de vriendelijkheid en behulpzaamheid van het hele personeel worden genoemd; zij maakten ons verblijf onvergetelijk:

Kleinschalig en heerlijk hotel aan het strand, met privézwembad, goed eten en een goed ayurveda team. we hebben geen programma gedaan, waren een paar dagen ontspannen. Wel een massage geboekt, die was goed. De kamers waren ruim, de inrichting leuk en charmant. Veel extra service zoals een kleermaker in huis, gratis yoga- en meditatielessen en afternoon tea. Het privéstrand van het hotel is schoon en goed bewaakt.
