Prashan ist ein außergewöhnlich herzlicher Gastgeber, der sich mit voller Hingabe um seine Gäste kümmert. Er sorgt dafür, dass sich jeder sofort willkommen fühlt und den Aufenthalt in vollen Zügen genießen kann. Neben der beeindruckenden Safari im Udawalawe-Nationalpark waren die abendlichen Kochsessions ein besonderes Erlebnis. Je nach Wunsch kann man aktiv mitkochen oder einfach nur zuschauen und genießen. Die Gerichte werden mit viel Liebe zubereitet und anschließend in gemütlicher Runde am Lagerfeuer serviert – eine wunderschöne Atmosphäre. Die Bungalows sind einfach, aber völlig ausreichend und fügen sich perfekt in die Natur ein. Es gibt bequeme Betten, ein eigenes Bad mit Warmwasserdusche und die Möglichkeit, mitten im Grünen zur Ruhe zu kommen. Wer ein Safari-Erlebnis mit entspannten Abenden in der Natur und echter sri-lankischer Gastfreundschaft sucht, ist bei Prashan genau richtig :) ##### Madeleine Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Ceylon Tea Trails - Relais and Chateaux - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwood-Hotels-Ceylon-Tea-Trails.h4045356.Hotel-Information) > > [98 Acres Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ella-Hotels-98-Acres-Resort-Spa.h15504051.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Sigiriya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sigiriya-Hotels-Hotel-Sigiriya.h1609730.Hotel-Information) > > [Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tangalle-Hotels-Anantara-Peace-Haven-Tangalle-Resort.h11229814.Hotel-Information) > > [Amaya Beach Pasikudah](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pasikuda-Hotels-Amaya-Beach-Pasikudah.h6780993.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sandhya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ahangama-Hotels-The-Sandhya.h18099343.Hotel-Information) > > [Cinnamon Bey Beruwala](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Beruwala-Hotels-Cinnamon-Bey-Beruwala.h8256226.Hotel-Information) > > [Cinnamon Citadel Kandy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kandy-Hotels-Cinnamon-Citadel-Kandy.h4031542.Hotel-Information) > > [Habarana Village by Cinnamon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Habarana-Hotels-Habarana-Village-By-Cinnamon.h4031747.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun Siyam Pasikudah](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pasikuda-Hotels-Sun-Siyam-Pasikudah.h9272270.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Sri Lanka - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ahungalla-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Sri-Lanka-All-Inclusive.h14754284.Hotel-Information) > > [Amaya Hills Kandy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kandy-Hotels-Amaya-Hills-Kandy.h1700850.Hotel-Information) > > [W15 Weligama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weligama-Hotels-W15.h11560777.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Kosgoda Turtle Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kosgoda-Hotels-Sheraton-Kosgoda-Turtle-Beach-Resort.h48743974.Hotel-Information) > > [Maalu Maalu Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pasikuda-Hotels-Maalu-Maalu-Resort-Spa.h6504916.Hotel-Information) > > [Avani Kalutara Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kalutara-Hotels-Avani-Kalutara-Resort.h4031708.Hotel-Information) > > [Cinnamon Bentota Beach – Signature Selection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bentota-Hotels-Cinnamon-Bentota-Beach.h36466861.Hotel-Information) > > [Kahanda Kanda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Angulugaha-Hotels-Kahanda-Kanda.h11263998.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Hambantota](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hambantota-Hotels-Shangri-La-Hambantota.h15083331.Hotel-Information) > > [Pandanus Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Induruwa-Hotels-Pandanus-Beach-Resort-Spa.h11289546.Hotel-Information) > > [Vivanta Colombo, Airport Garden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seeduwa-Katunayake-Hotels-Vivanta-Colombo.h526350.Hotel-Information) > > [Weligama Bay Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weligama-Hotels-Weligama-Bay-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h19413442.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Grand Galle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galle-Hotels-Le-Grand-Galle-By-Asia-Leisure.h24010679.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fortress Resort & Spa Galle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Koggala-Hotels-The-Fortress-Resort-Spa.h7821441.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westbury Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nuwara-Eliya-Hotels-The-Westbury-Palace.h48402950.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sun House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galle-Hotels-The-Sun-House.h15677263.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Bentota Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bentota-Hotels-Taj-Bentota-Resort-Spa.h581365.Hotel-Information) > > [go camping](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Go-Camping.h23256271.Hotel-Information) > > [Cinnamon Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Habarana-Hotels-Cinnamon-Lodge.h1854476.Hotel-Information) ---
