🌾 Warm Hospitality Like No Other! I’ve rarely been welcomed so warmly in a hotel — from the moment we arrived at Farm Villa Resort, we felt right at home. The staff were incredibly friendly and professional, making our stay truly special. 🛏️ Comfort Meets Elegance Our room was spacious with exquisite linen and spotless amenities. We enjoyed a delicious and generous breakfast that set the tone for each day. 📍 Perfect Location Located close to Kataragama Devalaya and Kiri Vehera, it’s ideal for pilgrims and explorers alike. A short drive took us to the Yala Sanctuary and the sacred Situlpawwa Rock Temple. 🦁 Yala Safari Adventure The team helped us arrange an unforgettable Yala Safari tour, where we spotted wild elephants, leopards, and colorful birdlife — a highlight of our trip! 🌅 Evening Paddy Walk & Nature Bliss Our evenings were magical — a walk through the golden paddy fields, listening to tranquil nature sounds under a glowing sky. Pure serenity. 💚 Without a doubt, if I visit Kataragama again, Farm Villa Resort will be my #1 choice. Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace, comfort, and adventure!

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.

Very good value for Money. I would stay again in this hotel if I'm going back to Kataragama again. Staff was friendly and service was good. The restaurant menu was very basic and also prices were low. The food was good and provided generous portions which were more than enough for my family. Didn't stay for long but had a very good stay for the short period. I would recommend this to anyone who is going to Kataragama.

Place was run down. Room was dry, stained bed linen, stained metres, dirty toilet. Have seen very little attention to health and safety in rooms (wires were exposed next to the wall mounted fans). We were told that the Kitchen was closed (have however seen some other hotel guests having food in the restaurant)☹️
