DoubleTree by Hilton Weerawila Rajawarna Resort 

A lakeside escape

Relaxation begins when the resort comes into sight along its driveway and only gets better from there.

This hotel is a peaceful retreat beside Weerawila Lake and within the Weerewila Bird Sanctuary in south Sri Lanka. If you’re planning to explore Kataragama Sacred City and Bundala National Park, this is a great option. Aside from the lovely pool (which you’ll certainly want to make time for), you can explore the local area by bike, go looking for wildlife in the bountiful local area or simply relax in the tropical gardens. Whatever your stay has in store, start your day with breakfast on the terrace and round it off savouring Sri Lankan dishes in a choice of restaurants. Then choose a bar to spend the evening before retiring to the modern guestrooms.
