Olcote in Ceylon  

Tucked near Piliyandala with easy access to Kelaniya, this laid-back Sri Lankan hideaway sits about 23 km (14.4 mi) from Colombo city centre. You’re a short drive from Pearl Bay, Bellanwila Raja Maha Viharaya and Panadura Beach. Pet-friendly and offering all-inclusive packages, it’s a convenient base for beach days and cultural detours.

A modern take on Sinhalese culture, Olcote in Ceylon mixes stylish bedroom suites with ponds, gardens and sun-dappled pools. Just eight guestrooms keep the vibe intimate. Rooms sport rainfall showerheads, blackout drapes and slippers, while a private chef and tailor-made driver-guide tours add a luxe, personalized touch.

Outdoor pools and on-site massages set the tone for slow, sunny days—wake up to pond-side calm and poolside light. There’s a bar and restaurant, a library, picnic and BBQ zones, plus a tour desk to book excursions. Free self-parking, airport transfer (surcharge) and all-inclusive group packages are available; select packages include complimentary beers and a bottle of Sri Lankan arrack.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout keeps you connected. The hotel also offers a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and a TV in a common area.

Eat on-site at the restaurant or grab drinks at the bar; limited room service is available. A complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast is served daily from 7:30–10:30, and the private chef will cater to dietary requests. All meals and snacks are included on all-inclusive packages, with local Sri Lankan flavors and speciality arrack featured.
