Accommodation near the airport

Negombo is the town closest to the airport. If you arrive late at night, or you want to stay a night there before travelling further this is the place to do it. There are alot of hotels here except many of them are a bit shabby and feed off the indecision of jetlagged tourists. So here are some recommendations...


Average Option
Oasis Beach Resort
US$25-100 per double room
This one has been recommended by a guy who writes most of the recommendations on TripAdviser.com he's very good, I think it would be the best value for money and nicest. It is on the beach and also has 24 hour reception so it is good for late arrivals.


Shabby Chic Option
Hotel Silver Sands
US $10-$25
This has also been recommended by trip advisor as the best budget option. It looks quite cute and is also right on the beach. Have a look at the website, I'll let you decide if you think the people in the pictures are German sex tourists or not.
