Having recently been taken over by Theme Resorts, the Kithala Resort in Tissamaharama includes a modern hotel which was formerly known as Hotel Priyankara and now offers a very good standard of accommodation at reasonable rates. All the rooms are very spacious, beautifully decorated and have balconies that have amazing views over the vast paddyfields directly behind the hotel.
This delightfully laid back Eco-friendly beach resort is on an almost deserted beach where you can swim and surf between December and April. All the chalets are made from local materials and are basic – it is very much for those that want to get back to nature. The pool is unusual as it is set on top of a rock which has views over the resort and the sea beyond. It is a perfect location to visit Yala and Bundala National Parks.
