Ibis Guest House GU eSThOUSe $$

(%567 4439; http://www.guesthouse-ibis.de; v ijaya Rd; r

from Rs 4000) Despite its chain-hotel name,

this rambling place is all local. The six spa-

cious rooms are filled with heavy wooden

furnishings, four-poster beds and easy chairs.

There’s a secluded splash of sandy beach

outside and a general lazy tropical ambience

about the place.

4 Marakolliya Beach

Marakolliya Beach has a lot of good mid-

range accommodation and it’s all very low-

Madilla Rd is an at times rough continuation

of Vijaya Rd in Tangalla, while another par-

Hambantota Road at the 200 Km marker.

you need to know about this fantasy of

palm thatch is that one of the seven rooms

is a treehouse (the others are bungalows).

If you’re bored it wouldn’t be much effort

to find driftwood on the beach to build an

eighth room – this really is a rustic experi-

ence. The cafe has tables right on the sand.
