West Dene

Tucked into Katunayaka in Negombo, about 8 km (5 mi) from Bandaranaike Intl. Airport and roughly 3 km from the city center. This family-friendly bed and breakfast is minutes from Angurukaramulla Temple and Maris Stella College, with Negombo Beach, the Dutch Canal and local markets all within easy reach.

A small guesthouse with just six air-conditioned rooms that keep things personal and relaxed. Rooms come with minibars, kitchenettes or refrigerators, flat-screen TVs and private furnished patios or balconies (some rooms list fireplaces). Private bathrooms have showers, complimentary toiletries and bidets. Housekeeping and thoughtful touches like a terrace, garden and picnic/BBQ areas set a low-key, social vibe.

Stay connected with complimentary Wi‑Fi while you take in the terrace and garden views. On-property perks include picnic and barbecue grills, bicycle rentals, an aquapark and a diving club for active days, plus a daily complimentary reception. Free valet parking is available and a roundtrip airport shuttle runs for a surcharge.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property. Practical services include a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, dry cleaning/laundry and concierge help — useful when you need quick transfers or tour bookings.

There’s an on-site restaurant and bar/lounge for casual meals and late-night drinks, plus limited-room service. English breakfast is served daily (8:00–10:00, fee applies) and the complimentary reception is a good chance to mingle. For local flavor, Negombo’s seafood — including nearby spots known for lobster — is easy to reach.
