Tamarind Tree Garden Resort - Katunayake

Great place to stay if you need to be close to the AirPort. Thanks! Vita

Tucked away in lush greenery, the Tamarind Tree in Sri Lanka is the kind of place that makes you slow down without even trying. The property itself is stunning: open, airy, and immersed in nature to the point that stepping out feels almost unnecessary. There’s a quiet calm that settles in the moment you arrive, and it stays with you throughout. What truly elevates the experience, though, is the people. The staff is exceptional, warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making your stay memorable. And then there’s the food, which deserves a special mention. Chef Pradeep Jayasinghe is not only incredibly kind but also an outstanding cook. Every meal felt thoughtful and beautifully executed. A special shoutout to trainee chef Kaushala, who is equally wonderful: gracious, knowledgeable, and always ready with spot-on recommendations. We spent five nights here, enjoying not just the daily meals but also a specially curated celebratory dinner that was nothing short of perfect. Tamarind Tree isn’t just a place to stay - it’s a place to feel held, to rest deeply, and to be quietly delighted at every turn.

We had a great time. Authentic Sri Lanka hospitality. Not like a high rise bland experience. Staff is helpful. The place is beautiful and the food delicious. P.S. Swimming pool is clean and maintained.

Just wow 👌 Thasmi you are a blessing to me. Team kitchen, house keeper Siani and the farm man Darumi. Reception and all stuff plus the guy at Reception helped us to carry our luggage 🧳. The Manager Benjamin is always o. Phone to make sure everything is fine.for sure icant complain the food is also 👌 Thasmi you are one in a million dollars. My saree 🥻 is wow. Probably iwill come back again. With my family. It' was not easy for us for extending our stay 💔 just because our Saturday 1.3.2026 flight back to Germany being canceled .so Tamarind Tree Resort 🌳 being our second home 🏡 the atmosphere makes us believe that home is where you can put a headand and sleep. No matter the situation. I and my husband with the construction Germany team (unesco) under( SKR) (Reise)company was at Tamarind Tree Resort .🫂🫂

what made this stay so outstanding was the meeting spaces, garden for walking, and the amazing food. The restaurant staff are attentive, and the food was hot and tasty. The seafood, in particular, was hot and done to perfection.

Dont expect the usual boring airport hotel. This is a different kind of hotel with a grand entrance and large grounds. We were welcomed by the friendly staff into the imposing lobby. We were taken with our cases to our room which was like a villa set in the grounds. I noted Anne Nadum Avishka who was especially helpful and the knowledgable gentleman who served us in the “Pub” but everyone played their part in making our stay enjoyable.

​I had a wonderful stay at the resort. The service and facilities were top-notch. Everything was perfect. Thank you!

The location is great 10 minutes from the airport and place is superb with greenery around and amazing birds. Rooms are good.
