Laid-back, local, and lovely in its simplicity. If you’re looking for a slice of tropical paradise on a budget, Palm Beach Inn & Sea Shells Cabana in Bentota is a cozy, no-frills gem just a few minutes from the beach.
The beach is just a 2–3 minute walk away, you should cross the railway and walk through a little jungle. We met a bearcat and a peacock. At night we saw fireflies. It looked really magical, like in a fairytale.
The cabanas are simple with basic furnishings, safe, ceiling fan, A/C. It’s not a luxury resort, but the ambiance is warm and homely. If you're a fan of nature and don’t mind the occasional gecko, this is your place.
Breakfast is usually fresh fruit, eggs, and toast—simple but tasty.
Perfect for solo travelers, backpackers, or couples wanting a quiet retreat without spending a fortune.
