This elegant boutique hotel used to be the Prime Minister’s residence. It’s a real standout and it’s located in one of the best districts in Colombo, Cinnamon Gardens. The style is very contemporary with a slightly decadent twist. It’s just a short drive to some of Colombo’s best shops and art galleries, so it’s ideal if you like to be in the heart of the action. Transport options include Uber, Kangaroo Cabs or a classic tuk tuk.
Charles and Camilla stayed here in 2013. It is, after all, the former home of the Bandaranaike family, a well known political dynasty. The residence was turned into a boutique hotel after it was taken over in 2005 by Shanth Fernando. With only ten rooms, it’s a very intimate setting.

While the legal situation for LGBTQ+ individuals in Sri Lanka remains challenging, with same-sex sexual activity still criminalized under colonial-era laws, the country offers a more welcoming reality for LGBTQ+ travelers. Many resorts and hotels, particularly in tourist-heavy areas, actively cater to queer visitors, offering safe, inclusive environments where LGBTQ+ individuals can feel comfortable and respected.
Sri Lanka’s vibrant tourist destinations, such as Colombo, Galle, and the beaches of the South Coast, have developed a reputation for being LGBTQ+-friendly, with a growing number of establishments offering queer-inclusive services. Although some discretion is advised due to the country’s conservative cultural attitudes, many international visitors report having an enjoyable and safe experience.
Sri Lanka’s stunning beaches, rich culture, and warm hospitality make it an increasingly popular destination for LGBTQ+ travelers seeking adventure and relaxation. As with any destination, it’s important to be aware of local customs and laws, but Sri Lanka remains a beautiful and welcoming place for those looking to explore a tropical paradise.
