Frequently asked questions about short term rentals in Sri Lanka

  • What attractions should one visit during a week-long stay in Sri Lanka?

    A week in Sri Lanka is a taste of what this island paradise offers. You could explore the cultural triangle, visiting ancient cities like Anuradhapura with its magnificent Ruwanwelisaya stupa and Polonnaruwa's Gal Vihara Buddha statues. Then head to Kandy, see the Temple of the Tooth Relic, and perhaps catch a traditional Kandyan dance performance. For nature, consider a visit to Sigiriya with its iconic rock fortress and surrounding landscapes. If time allows, squeeze in a relaxing day at a beach in Bentota or Negombo.
  • What are the best short term rentals in Sri Lanka?

    Among the short term rentals in Sri Lanka, Square Peg (Industrial Loft 1)-garden View, Banyan Camp Huts Eco Retreat On Full Board Basis and Hilton Colombo Residence are the most popular ones.

  • What attractions should one visit when spending a month in Sri Lanka?

    A month gives you the chance to explore much more! Start with the cultural triangle as above, then venture south to Ella for stunning views of the Nine Arch Bridge and surrounding tea plantations. Explore the hill country, visiting tea factories in Nuwara Eliya and enjoying the cool climate. Spend time on the beaches of the south coast, perhaps Unawatuna or Mirissa for whale watching. Don't forget the Yala National Park for wildlife safaris, and consider visiting Arugam Bay for surfing if you're feeling adventurous. You could even explore the north, visiting Jaffna and its unique culture.
  • What are the best short term rentals with a pool in Sri Lanka?

    Hilton Colombo Residence, Serene Villa and Eraeliya Villas & Gardens are the best short term rentals with a pool in Sri Lanka.

  • What currency is used in Sri Lanka, and how easy is it to find ATMs?

    The Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR) is the currency. ATMs are readily available in most towns and cities, even in smaller tourist areas. Major credit cards are widely accepted in larger establishments, but it's always advisable to carry some local currency for smaller purchases and in areas with limited access to card payment facilities.

    For longer stays, the hill country towns like Nuwara Eliya or Kandy offer a pleasant climate and plenty of activities. Areas on the south coast, like Unawatuna or Weligama, are ideal for those seeking a beach-based lifestyle. For a more off-the-beaten-track experience, consider exploring the cultural triangle or even the less-visited north.
  • Is Sri Lanka safe for solo travellers, including women?

    Sri Lanka is generally safe for solo travellers, including women. However, as with any travel destination, it's important to be aware of your surroundings and take standard safety precautions. Stick to well-lit and populated areas at night, and be mindful of your belongings.
  • Which region of Sri Lanka is most popular for its pleasant weather?

    The hill country, particularly around Nuwara Eliya and Kandy, is known for its pleasant, cooler climate, especially compared to the hotter coastal regions. This makes it a popular choice year-round, though the best time to visit is during the dry season.
  • What should one do if one loses their passport or documents in Sri Lanka?

    Report the loss to the nearest police station immediately. You'll then need to contact your embassy or high commission for assistance with obtaining replacement documents. Keep copies of your passport and other important documents stored separately from the originals.
  • What seasonal celebrations make Sri Lanka special?

    Sri Lanka has a vibrant calendar of festivals. Vesak, celebrating the birth, enlightenment and death of Buddha, is a major event. Poson Poya commemorates the arrival of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. Sinhala and Tamil New Year is a colourful celebration marking the beginning of the new year according to the lunisolar calendar. Deepavali, the Festival of Lights, is celebrated by the Hindu community.
