These apartments are unique in that they are affordable, centrally located and yet luxurious and beautifully designed with river views yet only a 10 minute walk from the gorgeous famous swimmable white sandy beaches of Bentota. The apartments have all the facilities you may need, including a fully-equipped kitchen, bathroom with power shower and hot water and laundry and ironing facilities are available communally. They are located above the restaurant with open-air seating by the riverbank, a covered seating area in case of rain and free wi-fi is available. Another bonus is the European Supermarket just underneath which is run by myself and we stock everything, including products which are hard to find elsewhere in Sri Lanka.

The Thumbelina Apartments, beautifully situated overlooking the Bentota River, are ideal for a holiday of a few days or for a longer stay, for solo travellers, couples, or families. Close to the bus and train station at Aluthgama and on the access road to the Southern Expressway, they have quick access to the banks, post office and shops.

Boat trips, watersports, fishing expeditions, stunning temples, nature reserves, local tours and island-wide tours are all available from us. Airport pick-up are usually provided by us too (please see the extras section).
