  Our 9 night stay at Kingfisher Beach Resort was an amazing experience! Shehan’s warm welcome and outstanding hospitality made us feel at home from the moment we arrived.The safaris with Shehan were unforgettable. He is extremely knowledgeable about wildlife, animal behaviour, and nature, and always tries to avoid the crowds so you can enjoy the park in a more natural and peaceful way. We had more than 25 leopard sightings, including cubs drinking water with their mother, as well as a sloth bear with cubs, elephants, and many other animals and birds. Yala Block 5, Yala Block 1, and Bundala National Park were all fantastic experiences. The resort is brand new, spotless, luxurious, and beautifully decorated, with every detail thoughtfully arranged by the owner. Shehan’s delicious home cooked food was another highlight, and our children loved the swimming pool after every safari. Our son especially enjoyed the fishing trips with Shehan. Shehan made everything so easy and memorable for our family. We would definitely recommend staying here and doing your safaris with him. Thank you, Shehan, for an unforgettable family holiday! We hope to visit again!

  Words cannot describe how amazing this trip was. Sheshan was the greatest host. He is so detail oriented. He had everything arranged for us including taxis. At the Safari he had everything ready in advance so we got to cut the line, which is a big deal. The room was so cute. Our dinner was absolutely fantastic! I was expecting a basic lunch and breakfast for the Safari, not even close. It was a meal dad would prepare for you. It blew my mind. For lunch they set up a table cloth. We were the only table with a table cloth. We had a whole curry meal. I cannot say enough good things about this place. I was sad to leave.

  Very comfortable stay with an excellent level of service.

  The room is comfortable cool and clean with mini fridge and kettle. The property is nearby to the beach easy walking access. Beach was lovely and clean. shahan the host has gone to every effort to make the stay comfortable and the level of service and attention to detail was better than many 5* hotels. The breakfast and dinner were delicious with great choice . Lastly Shahan took us in safari to yala as our guide and was a great host and spotter for this , with excellent knowledge of the area and wildlife.

  Absolute Empfehlung

  Wir durften zwei wundervolle Tage in dieser Unterkunft verbringen und sind immer noch begeistert. Das Zimmer war super sauber und gepflegt – man hat sich sofort wohlgefühlt. Klimaanlage, WLAN und die Dusche haben einwandfrei funktioniert, alles war top in Schuss. Das Frühstück war einfach fantastisch und richtig üppig. So gestärkt in den Tag zu starten war herrlich. Ein weiterer Pluspunkt: In nur 2 Minuten zu Fuß erreicht man einen menschenleeren, traumhaften Strand. Perfekt zum Entspannen! Ein riesiges Dankeschön an Shehan – seine Gastfreundschaft ist einfach herausragend. Er war unglaublich fürsorglich, dabei aber nie aufdringlich. Besonders beeindruckt hat uns sein Wissen über die heimische Tierwelt. Er hat sich viel Zeit genommen, um mit uns angeln zu gehen – ein unvergessliches Erlebnis. Und das Abendessen: Ehrlich gesagt das beste, was wir in ganz Sri Lanka gegessen haben! Mit so viel Liebe und Können gekocht. Wir wünschen Shehan von Herzen alles Gute für sein neues Projekt. Wer eine Unterkunft mit Herz, Seele und echtem Sri-Lanka-Feeling sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Wir kommen definitiv wieder!
