Rice Rice Villas, nestled among lush greenery and expansive rice fields, is a unique accommodation in Tissamaharama, Sri Lanka. Each cozy hut-style room features its own private patio, perfect for enjoying evening conversations or birdwatching amidst the surrounding palm trees. The rooms themselves are spacious, clean, and come with a great "semi-outdoor" bathroom. Perfect for those jungle vibes ;-).
The highlight of Rice Rice Villas is definitely its inviting pool, offering breathtaking views of the endless rice fields. Whether you're basking in the sun or leisurely reading a book, the pool provides a calming setting to unwind after a day of exploration. And for a refreshing beverage, the friendly hotel owner is always on hand to serve up a cold beer or soda. Agreed, you're a little remote, but fortunately the owner also prepares his own meals so you don't have to go to sleep with an empty stomach! When you wake up, it's time for a simple yet satisfying breakfast of tea, fried eggs with toast, jam, butter, and a fresh fruit salad – the perfect start to your day.
The hotel also offers (half-)day safaris to the nearby Yala National Park. Prices are around 20000 LKR (€ 60) per person for a half-day safari, which is a great price for the experience you get in return!
