Farm Villa Resort is a true gem in Kataragama — a fantastic resort in a lovely location, surrounded by peaceful countryside and just a short drive from Yala National Park. The villas are modern, extremely spacious, and well-equipped with Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and all essential amenities. We especially loved the beautiful swimming pool that overlooks the serene fields — the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring. The Sri Lankan rice and curry lunch was one of the best we've ever had — absolutely delicious and full of flavor! Every meal we had was fresh and satisfying. What made our stay truly special was the incredibly friendly and attentive staff who made us feel welcome and cared for from start to finish. This resort offers true value for money, and I can’t recommend it enough to anyone planning a stay in Kataragama. We will definitely return!

FAQs about hotels in Kataragama

What Guests Said About Kataragama:

8.0

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.

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.

Even though it is a religious hub that connects all the religions to a one place, I enjoyed the YALA Safari very much. Spotted all most all the animals from water birds to hundreds of peacocks, from mongoose to leopard and elephants.

The pool was excellent, has a seperate toddler section that my 3 year old spent an hour in. the staff were very friendly, particularly the restaurant staff. I really appreciated their hospitality. The lake view was nice and we saw some interesting wildlife (hornbills, parrots, eagles, monkeys). The hotel is handy to the Kataragama temple, sellekataragama and has an appa Kade just up the road which was really good.

Awesome stay close to the one entrance to Yala. The owners helped us organize a full day safari with packed breakfast bags and lunch. Very friendly people working here! Rooms are comfortable with nice beds and well working AC. It feels like living in the jungle with monkeys often spotted in the trees around the hotel.

The atmosphere and the hotel area were lovely. Lots of animals to look at and a bohemic/natural style. We had two rooms, one with air-conditioning and one more open room with no air-conditioning. The one with AC was good. The one without were full of mosquitos and the mosquito net had large wholes in it.
