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 > [DoubleTree by Hilton Weerawila Rajawarna Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Weerawila-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Weerawila-Rajawarna-Resort.h23701470.Hotel-Information) > > [Rani Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Rani-Beach-Hotel.h101747283.Hotel-Information) > > [Bridge Hotel Negombo](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Bridge-Hotel-Negombo.h13425310.Hotel-Information) > > [Arne's Place The Friendliest Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Arugam-Bay-Hotels-Arnes-Place-The-Friendliest-Hotel.h45786442.Hotel-Information) > > [Jetwing Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Jetwing-Beach.h1451532.Hotel-Information) > > [Desire Village Rakwana](https://www.expedia.ca/Godakewela-Hotels-Desire-Village-Rakwana.h44124849.Hotel-Information) > > [Dream Cliff Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Hildummulla-Hotels-Dream-Cliff-Mountain-Resort.h42548366.Hotel-Information) > > [Sinharaja Forest Gate](https://www.expedia.ca/SINHARAJA-FOREST-GATE.h27731206.Hotel-Information) > > [Isana Beach House](https://www.expedia.ca/Morakatiyara-Hotels-Isana-Beach-House.h15616300.Hotel-Information) > > [Beyond The Sea By Ceylonese ](https://www.expedia.ca/Madampagama-Hotels-Beyond-The-Sea-By-Ceylonese.h102023903.Hotel-Information) > > [Paddyway Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Arugam-Bay-Hotels-Paddyway-Resort.h94750644.Hotel-Information) > > [Kitelantis Hotel and Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kalpitiya-Hotels-Kitelantis-Hotel-And-Resort.h31693921.Hotel-Information) > > [Eva Lanka Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Morakatiyara-Hotels-Eva-Lanka-Hotel.h10347973.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Wave Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Arugam-Bay-Hotels-Beach-Wave-Hotel.h18243801.Hotel-Information) > > [Terrace Green Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Terrace-Green-Hotel-Spa.h12662808.Hotel-Information) > > [Paradise Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Paradise-Holiday-Village.h107271306.Hotel-Information) > > [Sinharaja Forest Sanctuary Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/KL-Sinharaja.h17894705.Hotel-Information) > > [Mawella Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tangalle-Hotels-Mawella-Beach-Resort.h45673435.Hotel-Information) > > [The River House by Asia Leisure](https://www.expedia.ca/Balapitiya-Hotels-The-River-House-By-Asia-Leisure.h10984031.Hotel-Information) > > [Palm Paradise Cabanas & Villas Beach Resort Tangalle](https://www.expedia.ca/Tangalle-Hotels-Palm-Paradise-Cabanas-Villas-Beach-Resort-Tangalle.h7564363.Hotel-Information) > > [Palmstone Retreat - Kithulgala](https://www.expedia.ca/Kithulgala-Hotels-Palmstone-Retreat-Kithulgala.h12629851.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Resort Galle](https://www.expedia.ca/Galle-Hotels-Amari-Galle.h16267123.Hotel-Information) > > [Jetwing Surf & Safari, A Luxury Reserve](https://www.expedia.ca/Pottuvil-Hotels-Jetwing-Surf.h19959056.Hotel-Information) > > [Room in Villa - Surf 247 Weligama - Deluxe Double Room With Side Sea View](https://www.expedia.ca/Weligama-Hotels-Surf-247-Weligama-Deluxe-Double-Room-With-Side-Sea-View.h101827338.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa With Private Plunge pool ](https://www.expedia.ca/Panadura-Hotels-Villa-With-Private-Plunge-Pool.h21651510.Hotel-Information) > > [Wind Mill Villa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Wind-Mill-Hotel.h36171069.Hotel-Information) > > [Mama Beach Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Mama-Beach-Villa.h19769396.Hotel-Information) > > [Laana Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Negombo-Hotels-Laana-Villa.h39678361.Hotel-Information) > > [Goatfell](https://www.expedia.ca/Walapane-Hotels-Goatfell.h48392469.Hotel-Information)
