Original answer
Here are some of the best boutique (small, design-forward or luxury-boutique) hotels across Sri Lanka, grouped by region with a short note on what makes each special. I’ve cited reputable sources for each property.
South coast / Galle & Weligama
- Amangalla (Galle Fort) — historic, quietly opulent hotel inside Galle Fort; superb heritage rooms and strong service. (cntraveller.in)
- Fort Bazaar (Galle Fort) — small, stylish townhouse hotel tucked inside the fort; great for exploring galleries and cafés. (thetimes.co.uk)
- The Fortress Resort & Spa (near Galle) — contemporary, design-led resort with colonial-inspired architecture and beach access. (fortressresortandspa.com)
- Cape Weligama (Weligama/Mirissa) — cliff-top Relais & Châteaux property with individual villas and dramatic ocean views. (legacy.resplendentceylon.com)
- Amanwella (Tangalle) — minimalist Aman beach retreat with private plunge pools and a quiet, high-end feel. (cntraveller.com)
Southwest coast / Bentota & nearby
- Saman Villas (Bentota) — long-running, romantic boutique cliff/sea hotel (one of Sri Lanka’s original boutique properties). (oyster.com)
- Wallawwa (near Colombo airport / Negombo) — restored manor house in tropical gardens; excellent for a calm start/end to your trip. (teardrop-hotels.com)
Colombo (city boutique stays)
- Tintagel / Paradise Road Tintagel (Cinnamon Gardens, Colombo) — intimate heritage boutique with stylish interiors and an excellent city location. (telegraph.co.uk)
Hill country (Kandy, Ella, Cultural Triangle)
- The Kandy House (near Kandy) — intimate restored manor house with just a handful of rooms, strong heritage atmosphere. (thetimes.co.uk)
- 98 Acres Resort & Spa (Ella) — small eco-minded tea-estate resort with stunning hill views and thatched chalets. (resort98acres.com)
- Uga Ulagalla / Ulagalla by Uga Escapes (Anuradhapura / Cultural Triangle) — villa-style all-pool villas set across a large estate; excellent for culture + privacy. (ugaescapes.com)
Yala / Wildlife lodges
- Chena Huts by Uga Escapes (Yala) — boutique safari-style cabins with private plunge pools and included game-drive options; designed for wildlife watching. (i-escape.com)
Practical tip (when to go)
- Sri Lanka’s weather is regionally split by monsoons: the south & west coast (Galle, Bentota, Mirissa) is best December–April; the east coast (Trincomalee, Arugam
