I had the pleasure of staying at Farm Villa Resort in Katharagama for two nights, and it was a wonderful and memorable experience from start to finish! 🌿 From the moment we arrived, the welcome was warm and heartfelt. The staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist with anything. Special mention to the front office team – truly a gem in hospitality! The room was spacious, the bathroom was very big, and the overall comfort . The clean and inviting swimming pool was perfect for cooling off and relaxing in the serene atmosphere. What makes Farm Villa Resort truly special is its beautiful location surrounded by nature. The resort is set amidst lush paddy fields, and there's a charming little lake flowing through the property, creating a peaceful, scenic environment ideal for rest and reflection. I enjoyed walking through the paddy fields, listening to the birds in the mornings, and even got to pick fresh fruits from the garden! 🍌🌾 It's also conveniently located – just a short walk to the sacred Kirivehera and Katharagama Dewalaya, making it perfect for both pilgrims and nature lovers.One of the biggest highlights was the full-day Yala Safari arranged by the hotel – an absolutely amazing adventure! 🐘🦁 We saw incredible wildlife, and everything was perfectly organized with a knowledgeable guide.The food was another standout. The traditional Sri Lankan dinner was flavorful and authentic, clearly made with care and love. The breakfast offered plenty of variety, and every meal was beautifully presented. The dining team was attentive and courteous, adding to the overall great experience.In summary, Farm Villa Resort offers far more than just a place to stay – it's a place to connect with nature, enjoy delicious food, and experience genuine Sri Lankan hospitality. Whether you're visiting for relaxation, a spiritual trip, or adventure, this resort has it all.

The night we spent in the treehouse was an unparalleled experience. In the Yala area, close to the famous national park, there is a small forest where the treehouses stand about 7 meters above the ground, spaced far apart to ensure complete privacy. Although the accommodation is minimal (as it should be), it features a comfortable bed enclosed in a mosquito net, a fan, a bathroom, and a shower — all handcrafted but built with very solid architecture. We had dinner at their restaurant: the food was delicious, the portions generous, and the space well cared for. Finally, the staff also arranged for a jeep driver to take us on a wonderful sunset safari. Highly recommended!!!

    Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 195 reviews
    Jetwing Kaduruketha is a true eco-paradise that offers an exceptional and harmonious experience with nature. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by a staff that goes above and beyond to ensure your comfort and well-being. The service is truly outstanding, with special mention to F&B manager Sanduni, who exemplifies the staff’s commitment to guest satisfaction. Even the General Manager’s genuine warmth and approachability add to the welcoming atmosphere. The resort’s dedication to sustainability is evident in every aspect of its operations. The food served is a testament to this commitment, with many ingredients harvested directly from the property’s organic gardens. This farm-to-table approach not only ensures freshness but also minimizes the resort’s environmental impact. The attention to detail in the cuisine is remarkable, offering guests a truly authentic and delicious Sri Lankan culinary experience. What sets Jetwing Kaduruketha apart is its deep connection to the surrounding community. Through initiatives like the Thrive program, the resort empowers and upskills local women, creating a symbiotic relationship between the property and the village. This commitment to community development showcases Jetwing’s dedication to responsible tourism and creating a positive impact beyond its boundaries. The resort offers a range of bespoke experiences that allow guests to immerse themselves in the local culture and natural beauty. Participating in a cooking class to prepare a full Sri Lankan lunch is not only educational but also a delightful way to connect with the local cuisine. The surrounding landscape provides ample opportunities for wildlife enthusiasts, especially birdwatchers, with numerous species to be spotted during your stay.

    Where do I begin... What an experience! We were picked up exactly at the time they said by the great jeep that already put us in the safari mood. We were expexting a nice tent but were blown away by the size of the tent and how comfortable it was. The dinner was nice as was the lunch the next day, but we didn´t come for food. THE BEST things were the night walk (scary!!!!) and the safari tour the next day and we had a great guide, Jelo, who made it extra fun and informative. Great sense of humor and an all round great guy! We saw the leopard! And monkeys, water buffalos, crocodiles, the list is long. The scenery took our breath away. Everything ran like clock work, very professional and friendly.

    Kataragama itself is a temple town and that’s pretty much it. Other than that it’s a jumping off point for safari in yala and kumana. One day is more than enough for cultural/religious aspects. The Perahara (pageant) in July is fantastic. Be warned that it may not start till midnight and may need pre booked tickets. Also watch out for pickpockets in crowded areas around this time. The country side and the rural life as well as the wildlife is fantastic and authentic. Quite hot and sunny year round but dec to feb is more comfortable.

    Buttala is a beautiful little city close to the northern part of Yala National Park. If you pass by (maybe on your way to/from the east coast), stop here and enjoy a couple of nights in the local homestays (we can fully recommend Yala Avian Eye Safari!!). Safaris from here are calm and you can enjoy the northern part without hundreds of other jeeps.
