The River House

Jump to:

Privacy, a fantastic location and total luxury — what more could you want? The River House is without a doubt one of the best small hotels in Sri Lanka. Situated on the riverbank a couple of kilometers inland, between the coastal villages of Balapitiya and Ambalangoda, this villa hotel offers a totally relaxing, 'away from it all' experience. Its spacious rooms are decorated in a style which blends Asian and contemporary influences and the attention to detail is striking.

The property has a nearby beach which can be reached in a couple of minutes — the hotel's three-wheeler will take you there at any time. Guests can also explore the river on the hotel's boat or by canoe, or enjoy the views from the lovely swimming pool.
