It’s about where you are staying. Our handpicked accommodations are way different to large chain hotels with conventional star ratings. We offers small properties with quality, character, ambiance and run by passionate people. The range does not limit to “hotels” and goes into Tented Camps, Lodges, Home Stays, Colonial Bungalows, Luxury Boutique Properties as well as Tree Houses that have won multiple awards and plaudits.
Accommodation Styles
Our styles of accommodation choices vary quite widely from small rustic homestays to high-end Luxury Boutique Villas. We fully believe that accommodation is not just about spending the night in a room, but experiencing the complete feel of the place, people, hosts and food blended with the uniqueness of the property.
We have carefully chosen and categorised our accommodation styles to cater to the choices of our valued clients. This categorisation is a unique creation of Ex. Journeys and if you see this concept elsewhere, be assured that our contemporaries are just attempting to duplicate our style!
Rustic, Eco-friendly Homestays, Guest Houses and Small Villas
The small and unique owner-run accommodation units provide guests with a more personalized exposure to the hosts.
This is a perfect choice for those who seek more privacy at a reasonable price. Basic comforts with a personalized service in the most pleasing manner would be an ideal option for those who love to spend time with locals and learn more about their lifestyles.
Eco Lodges, TreeHouses and Standard Camps
This rustic and minimalist style promises to be favoured by outdoor enthusiasts who love being close to nature.
The Eco Lodges and Treehouses enable guests to spend their holiday in comfort, while the campsites enable them to experience the wonders of nature and the wilderness along with basic comforts.
Our preferred Partners
Mid-Range Villas
Our selection of mid-range Villas offer guests local exposure, yet retain enough privacy and comfort for those who seek more affordable luxury.
The personalized, high-quality service offered will be the signature of these villas. The owner-run properties will let the guests feel like they’re staying with friends and family.
Mid-Range Hotels
These hotels are perfect for small groups on leisure holidays. The properties, with all required comforts and amenities at an affordable price, fall under this accommodation style.
They are highly recommended for groups of families and friends and small group tours. Staying in a mid-range hotel gives visitors an opportunity to stay for less, and also allows them to spend more money on experiencing Sri Lanka at its best. The maximum number of the rooms in this category would be 40.
Theme Hotels
We understand that our valued guests have different and unique preferences and interests when choosing accommodation styles for their holidays in sunny Sri Lanka. Hotels and villas that operate with a particular theme fall under this accommodation style.
The properties enable the guests who patronize them to feel like they are connected to a specific theme and will experience different aspects related to these themes. Heritage, Colonial, Wellness, a particular architectural style or the Tea Industry, etc. are some of the popular themes amongst our clients.
Large Hotels and International Chains
As the name suggests, our specially selected large hotels and international hotel chains fall under this accommodation style.
However, we have made sure that boring concrete structures with no character are not included in this section. We only recommend this category for Business and MICE travellers who are participating in or attending a specific function or event.
High-end Boutiques and Luxury all-inclusive Camps
High-end travellers who seek exclusive personalized service are welcomed by these tastefully designed deluxe Boutique and Luxury all-inclusive Camps.
Equipped with elegant amenities from cutlery and crockery to super comfortable fixtures, the guests will experience the most luxurious of stays on these Boutique properties.
