Nehansa Resort and Safari  

Tucked between Tissamaharama and Kirinda, Nehansa Resort and Safari sits within a 10-minute drive of Yatala Dagoba and Tissa Lake, and roughly 15 km from Kirinda Temple and the Bundala Bird Sanctuary. Easy to reach but still close to nature, it’s a base for wildlife and cultural day trips.

Small and intimate with just four air-conditioned guestrooms, the resort keeps things simple and comfy. Rooms feature separate sitting areas, work desks, private bathrooms with showers and bidets, and daily housekeeping. Expect a relaxed, safari-adjacent vibe that pairs practical comforts with easy access to nearby birding and historic sites—wake up to birdsong and plan your excursions from the lobby.

On-site perks include a restaurant and bar, a BBQ area for casual evenings, free Wi-Fi across the property, and complimentary parking. Front-desk services run 24 hours, with luggage storage, a safe-deposit box, laundry services, and airport transfers available for a surcharge. The property also hosts occasional complimentary receptions for guests.

Enjoy regional flavors at the on-site restaurant with a complimentary local-cuisine breakfast served daily from 6 AM to 7 AM. Limited-hours room service is available, and the bar is a laid-back spot to unwind after a day exploring nearby lakes and sanctuaries.
