Kompannaweediya

While visiting Kompannaweediya, you might make a stop by sights like One Galle Face and Galle Face Beach.

Kompannaweediya
Beira lake is situated just 1km away from the heart of Colombo. It has been one of the top tourist destinations in the commercial capital, Colombo as Gangarama Temple is located just next to Beira lake. I really recommend this place for you who are visiting Sri Lanka. Other than the religious background, it's a great place to capture some water birds as well.

Hunupitiya

When in Hunupitiya, you can plan a visit to Colombo Lotus Tower and Colombo City Centre, some noteworthy sights in the nearby area.

Hunupitiya
Coffee done right at The Grind. A quaint escapade amidst the bustle of Union Place! Few meters away from the Odel Mall you will find this small, trendy coffeehouse. In the picture is a Flat White and I absolutely loved it. There are only a handful of places in Sri Lanka where they do their coffee right and I can safely say that The Grind is one. There are unique dishes and drinks available on their menu and it must be noted that their portions are really worth your buck and all prices are inclusive of service charge and tax! If you are in Colombo, go check out this place. #TroverFoodies #SriLanka #Coffee #Cafehopping

Ibbanwala

While Ibbanwala isn't home to many top sights, Colombo City Centre and Chabad of Sri Lanka are some notable places to visit nearby.

"We stayed there for 11 nights. Everything was up to the mark. The only problem was the long lift waiting time and there are no AC in the lobby. Otherwise it was a great experience"

"Beautiful property but last day they had a concert which was so loud that we couldn't rest in our room. They should have informed us ahead of time and given option to move our room to the other side. Also at check out, they were not able to refund the pre auth amount back to us due to machine malfunction ..."
