Good Karma Hotel

On Sri Lanka’s sun-soaked south coast in Ranna, about 4 km from the town center. Steps from the Rekawa Turtle Conservation Project and near Kalamatiya Bird Sanctuary, this beachfront boutique spot sits between a deserted sand stretch and a fresh-water lagoon.

A tiny, stylish hotel (opened 2013) made up of just five ocean-view bungalows. Rooms have private balconies or patios, air conditioning, hot water, desks and separate sitting areas, plus daily housekeeping. Set in a well-kept tropical garden with an ayurveda and yoga space for low-key wellness days.

Dip in the outdoor swimming pool or sip at the poolside bar after beach walks. Spa and massage rooms, an ayurveda/yoga area, a fitness center and bicycles for rent keep the pace flexible. Picnic and barbeque areas, tour/ticket assistance, on-site parking and complimentary Wi‑Fi round out the practical perks—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and step straight to the sand.

Conference hall and meeting/board-meeting facilities available. 24-hour front desk, concierge, luggage storage, laundry/dry cleaning and airport shuttle (surcharge) make working visits easier. Complimentary wireless internet across the property.

Two on-site restaurants plus a bar and poolside bar serve meals and drinks. 24-hour room service is available for late-night returns from beach or tours.
