Introduction

Reviews

Relaxation begins when the resort comes into sight along its driveway and only gets better from there.

This hotel is a peaceful retreat beside Weerawila Lake and within the Weerewila Bird Sanctuary in south Sri Lanka. If you’re planning to explore Kataragama Sacred City and Bundala National Park, this is a great option. Aside from the lovely pool (which you’ll certainly want to make time for), you can explore the local area by bike, go looking for wildlife in the bountiful local area or simply relax in the tropical gardens. Whatever your stay has in store, start your day with breakfast on the terrace and round it off savouring Sri Lankan dishes in a choice of restaurants. Then choose a bar to spend the evening before retiring to the modern guestrooms.

Why we love DoubleTree by Hilton Weerawila Rajawarna Resort

The warm Sri Lankan hospitality is exceptional. Things set off on the right foot — there’s a warm chocolate cookie waiting for you on arrival

Rooms

A palette of moss green complete hardwood finishes gives the 78 contemporary rooms a natural earthiness which befits the hotel’s verdant surroundings. Unless you’re plumping for a suite, your main choice is whether you’d like a room on the ground floor that gives you direct access to the gardens or if you’d prefer a balcony with a slightly higher vantage point.
