Hikkaduwa · Southern Coast, Sri Lanka

Samanala Garden Holiday Home, five minutes from the tide.

Homely rooms, home-cooked meals, and a quiet garden a short walk from Hikkaduwa's beach. Run by the same family for over fifty years — some guests have been returning since 1971.

Welcome to Samanala Garden Holiday Home.

We offer homely, comfortable accommodation with free Wi-Fi, cable TV, home-cooked meals, laundry service, car hire and bicycle rentals. If you love a quiet setting with a garden to unwind in, you'll feel at home here rather than in a hotel.

We're 130 km from Bandaranaike International Airport, 3 km from Hikkaduwa's railway and bus stations, and just 15 minutes from the Southern Expressway's Hikkaduwa exit — close enough to everything, quiet enough to actually rest.
