About This Listing
Price is for a double room with attached bathroom, with optional A/C. There're three rooms available.
The Space
Jayathunga’s is the upstairs part of a big nice house that is surrounded with breadfruit and coconut trees. These give a natural, cooling shade, as well as coconuts to drink or to cook with. The rooms are spacious and light and the large shaded terrace is great to have meals or read a book in the evenings.
Interaction with Guests
Jaya, a hotel chef, and his wife have two kids. Both work in tourism and speak some English as well as German. They will cook up some serious Sri Lankan curries if you ask.
The Neighborhood
Bentota is one of Sri Lanka’s most fancy beach towns, known among other things for its beach, turtle hatchery and the architecturally interesting Brief Garden. It is also one of the most popular weekend hideouts for Sri Lanka’s upper class, so expect relative abundance here. This reflects on Bentota’s homes, many of which are big and luxurious and are managed by people who have seen tourists before. Lagoon trips, all kinds of water sports and fishing are among the things to do here. Apart from chilling on the beach off course.
