Our Stay & Taste category is your curated guide to the most enchanting places to stay and eat across the island Sri Lanka. Whether it’s a hidden jungle villa, a cozy rice field guesthouse, or a lakeside retreat – we’ve uncovered the spots where beauty and authenticity meet.
Discover boutique hotels, budget-friendly hostels, and homestays that offer more than just a bed – they offer an experience. We’ve tasted our way through Sri Lanka too, from perfect coffees in cafés like Cactus (Ahangama) and Nomad (Weligama), to rich rice & curry meals enjoyed with views of lush paddies or on the beach at sunset.
Having lived here for years, Cristina shares insider tips on the most soulful stays and the best local food, from the surfy south to quiet inland escapes. Stay & Taste is your invitation to explore Sri Lanka with all your senses – to sleep beautifully and eat memorably.
