Salt House  

On Sri Lanka’s southern coast in Dickwella, a beachside hotel with an adjacent boutique beach house sits steps from Dickwella Beach and about 2 km from the town center. Nearby sights include Wewurukannala Vihara Temple, Mulkirigala Rock Monastery and Tangalle Lighthouse.

Rooms range from boutique jungle-view suites with private hammock gardens to simple fan-cooled rooms with showers and complimentary bottled water. The vibe is beach-meets-jungle: open-air living, a rooftop terrace and relaxed, tropical design.

Slide from the sand into the pool and sip cocktails poolside, stretch out in the open jungle yoga shala, or take in views from the rooftop terrace and garden. On-site perks include a massage room, library, kids' playrooms, bicycle rentals, tour desk, an area shuttle (surcharge), free self-parking and complimentary Wi-Fi.

Complimentary wireless internet is available throughout the property. Practical services include luggage storage, dry cleaning and laundry for longer stays.

An on-site restaurant, café and bar serve meals and drinks in a peaceful jungle setting, with limited room service and poolside cocktails to keep evenings easy.
