Lucas Memorial

Tucked into Kosgoda’s coconut-clad lanes on Sri Lanka’s southwest coast, this colonial hideaway sits near the ocean and lagoon and is minutes from the Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery. You’re also close to Bentota Beach and the Ariyapala Mask Museum — a quietly family-friendly base for coastal explorations.

A relaxed colonial small hotel with a peaceful, tropical vibe and 4‑star quality touches. Rooms are air-conditioned and comfortable, stocked with refrigerators, flat-screen TVs, minibars and coffee/tea makers; bathrooms offer shower/tub combinations and complimentary toiletries. Daily housekeeping keeps things neat, and a clean outdoor pool anchors the property’s chill atmosphere.

Soak in the outdoor pool, book an on-site massage, or let staff sort tours and tickets for local sights. Babysitting/childcare is available for a surcharge, valet parking is free, and a roundtrip airport shuttle can be arranged for a fee. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and easy access to beach and lagoon outings.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected; high-speed wired internet is offered for a surcharge. Additional practical touches include dry cleaning/laundry services and luggage storage.

An on-site restaurant serves meals, and limited room service is available for quieter nights in.
