Simple, low-impact camps at the edge of Yala, Wilpattu and Udawalawe, built for early safari starts rather than late nights.
Full-service properties along the south-west coast and Arugam Bay, ranging from surf hostels to larger family resorts with pools and spas.
Former planters' bungalows around Nuwara Eliya and Ella, usually with a fireplace, a garden, and tea fields on every side.
