🌾 Warm Hospitality Like No Other! I’ve rarely been welcomed so warmly in a hotel — from the moment we arrived at Farm Villa Resort, we felt right at home. The staff were incredibly friendly and professional, making our stay truly special. 🛏️ Comfort Meets Elegance Our room was spacious with exquisite linen and spotless amenities. We enjoyed a delicious and generous breakfast that set the tone for each day. 📍 Perfect Location Located close to Kataragama Devalaya and Kiri Vehera, it’s ideal for pilgrims and explorers alike. A short drive took us to the Yala Sanctuary and the sacred Situlpawwa Rock Temple. 🦁 Yala Safari Adventure The team helped us arrange an unforgettable Yala Safari tour, where we spotted wild elephants, leopards, and colorful birdlife — a highlight of our trip! 🌅 Evening Paddy Walk & Nature Bliss Our evenings were magical — a walk through the golden paddy fields, listening to tranquil nature sounds under a glowing sky. Pure serenity. 💚 Without a doubt, if I visit Kataragama again, Farm Villa Resort will be my #1 choice. Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace, comfort, and adventure!

Tamarind Tree House is truly a hidden gem for anyone looking to escape into nature without sacrificing comfort. The room we stayed in was beautiful—spacious, cozy, and had a charming view of a small waterfall right outside the window. Waking up to the sound of flowing water was incredibly calming and made the whole experience feel serene and refreshing. The service was warm and attentive, with the staff going out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Their hospitality really made a difference and added a personal touch to the stay. That said, a little extra attention to maintenance would take this place from great to exceptional. Some areas could use a bit of upkeep to match the overall charm of the property. But honestly, it didn’t take away much from the experience—we still had a fantastic time. Highly recommended for couples, solo travelers, or anyone looking to unwind close to nature!

Had to give a shoutout to the staff – they were absolutely amazing! Super helpful and really know their stuff. Whether you’re planning to visit the Kataragama Dewalaya or go on a Yala safari, they’ll hook you up with the best options at very reasonable prices. They even have someone who can sort out your “Pooja watti” for you. And if you haven’t pre-ordered food, no stress – they’ll get it delivered from a nearby shop in just a few minutes. The place itself is great too – clean, spacious rooms with hot water. For the price, it’s more than worth it. Definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a safe, comfortable, and budget-friendly place to stay!

Clean and quiet. The staff were exceptional. They organized a driver his name was Prasad. Very knowledgeable, nice, took the time to make you have a laugh every once in a while. They have good connections inside the park to get the most out of the experience. I usually don’t write reviews but they let us check out later than usual(waiting for a taxi to the next spot).There one staff member I can’t remember his name (sorry buddy!)went out of his way to talk about his experiences living in the area.

It’s an amazing property located within the center of Kataragama and surrounded by serene gardens. Ideal location for a family retreat and we throughly enjoyed our stay . Hotel staffs are absolute gem and very courteous who ensured every aspect of our stay are closely followed up and supported . Breakfast was amazing and had many varieties and the swimming pool was large and had a big area for kids which made my daughter extremely an happy guest .

It is a holy place visited by Buddhists and Hindus alike.

It is a holy place visited by Buddhists and Hindus alike. Some Muslims also visit a mosque located in the sacred area. Buddhist usually visit the Kiri Vehera area first and then come to the Devale premises. There are circular roads to facilitate that sequence. Otherwise, one can walk to the Devale premises and then proceed to the Kiri Vehera premises. There are lot of boutiques selling various items including offerings for Devale. They are located in the town area. After that one has to cross a small bridge over the Menik River to enter the sacred area. Over the years both sides of the river have been re-organized for a better sequential experience.

Kataragama itself is a temple town and that’s pretty much it. Other than that it’s a jumping off point for safari in yala and kumana. One day is more than enough for cultural/religious aspects. The Perahara (pageant) in July is fantastic. Be warned that it may not start till midnight and may need pre booked tickets. Also watch out for pickpockets in crowded areas around this time. The country side and the rural life as well as the wildlife is fantastic and authentic. Quite hot and sunny year round but dec to feb is more comfortable.

Buttala is a beautiful little city close to the northern part of Yala National Park. If you pass by (maybe on your way to/from the east coast), stop here and enjoy a couple of nights in the local homestays (we can fully recommend Yala Avian Eye Safari!!). Safaris from here are calm and you can enjoy the northern part without hundreds of other jeeps.

I thought it was a different place to go for Safari. But, almost all vehicles come from Tissa for Safari pickup so it doesn't really matter if you book a room in Tissa or Katharagama for the Safari.
