Mapakada Village Hotel  

Set on the shores of Mapakada Wewa Lake in Mahiyanganaya, Mapakada Village sits about a 1-minute drive from the lake and roughly 11–15 minutes from Mahiyangana Temple and the town. Maduru Oya National Park is within easy reach (about 14.7 km), making this a lakefront, family-friendly retreat.

A four-star contemporary resort with 14 air-conditioned rooms, each offering private balconies or patios, LCD TVs and daily housekeeping. Expect local design touches, safes and desks in-room, plus an infinity pool and a large garden that frame the lake and surrounding wildlife.

Soak in the infinity pool overlooking the lake, roam the garden, or rent bicycles for easy exploration. The property also features a terrace, picnic and barbecue areas, a bar/lounge, and free self-parking — wake up to lake-view mornings and nature on your doorstep.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected, and practical touches like a 24-hour front desk, express check-in, luggage storage and laundry service make short stays simple.

An on-site restaurant and bar serve local flavors, with continental breakfast available daily (7–10 AM for a fee) and limited room service for laid-back meals.
