Ranweli Holiday Village is situated about 18 kilometers from the Colombo International airport. A short ferry ride across a river estuary glides the guest to a 22 acre (9 hectare) peninsula where mangrove forests and winding rivers converge to meet the sea.

Seventy-two bungalows and 12 family rooms nestle in this tranquil and magical location. These are constructed with local material and decorated with indigenous artifacts reflecting the ambience of a distinct Sri Lankan flavour, with western standards of comfort combined with indigenous culture. The architecture blends with the unique and rich forested natural environment. Architecturally and aesthetically the construction and layout is of a typical Sri Lankan village.

The location offers serenity with immediate proximity and access to the sea, river and a lagoon. However the facilities are not confined to a Sea, Sand and Sun holiday. Ranweli offers a model nature resort in the country and the beach is only an add - on.

Ranweli is a recreation-based, ecotourism-oriented facility with a tranquil and relaxed atmosphere and an operation which fosters a harmonious relationship with nature, minimising the environmental impacts of our activities. The resort provides an authentic soft adventure experience with numerous facilities for a knowledge-based family holiday.

There are over 70 varieties of flora including a lush mangrove community. The terrestrial, wetland and aquatic plants and shrubs in the holiday village are protected and conserved. Over 90 birds have been identified, by an ornithologist, in the village and its environs. A unique and significant feature is sighting birds by travelling in a boat. Professional guides conduct nature, birding tours and habitat tours by bicycles.

Your holiday becomes a blend of adventure, rest in a tranquil environment and a unique learning experience amidst the splendour of nature.
