Madoldu Eco Resort  

In Koggala on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, a short walk from the town center and minutes from Mihiripenna Beach. Close to Martin Wickramsinghe Folk Museum, Handunugoda Tea Museum and Yatagala Raja Maha Viharaya.

A small eco resort with just five air-conditioned rooms, each offering a private balcony or patio, flat-screen TV, bathrobe and an en suite bath or shower. Shared kitchen facilities and simple island-style, eco-minded décor give the place a relaxed, homey vibe.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, find balance in the yoga area, or dive with the on-site diving club; bicycles are also available to rent. There’s a massage room, fitness center, picnic and barbecue areas, tour assistance and shuttle services — plus valet parking and car rental options for easy exploring; wake up to sea-breeze mornings near the coast.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected, and a 24-hour front desk handles airport shuttle bookings, dry cleaning and concierge needs.

Taste local Sri Lankan cuisine at the on-site restaurant, relax at the bar/lounge, or opt for room service during limited hours.
