Special people and wonderful, hidden away places contribute towards an indefinable uniqueness that inspires many of Sri Lanka’s visitors to return - year after year. Our aim is that by what we offer and who we are that you too will be inspired to return.
Located ‘deep south’ - Sri Lanka’s Buckingham Place puts the fisher and farmer village of Rekawa firmly on the ‘must visit’ list, whether for an entire vacation or for those passing through.
Expect something a bit different. Fairly contemporary in design, but not sterile, stylish though not slave to it and, interactive in the true sense of the word.
This sleepy, out of the ordinary, out of the way place lacks only the madding crowd and a rapid laundry service!
Overlooking Rekawa’s tranquil lagoon, eleven special bedrooms & suites are just moments away from a long stretch of deserted Indian Ocean beach. By day – explore our environs by canoe and bicycle; Why not take a stroll or an early morning jog along the beach, or laze with a good book by the Turtle Point rock-pool? At the end of your hectic day then perhaps you’ll return - for sundowners and our mouthwatering menu!
When the day is finally done just relax into the ambient comfort of a great room – each has A/C, a lagoon view from its own veranda or balcony - upon which you could plan your next day in paradise!
Recently opening our gates to acclaim, competitive soft-opening rates provide a rare chance to combine superb levels of comfort and hospitality with unrivalled affordability.
1998 saw the birth of my enchantment with Sri Lanka, specifically with the magical corners of the island tourists rarely see and the good-hearted people who populate its rural villages.
Many of my great life experiences have taken place in Sri Lanka - my adopted country after emigrating from the UK in 2002. Family and friends whom have known me a long while understand the degree to which I have repositioned my life. They know better than to ask when are you coming home? They know that I’m already here!
Many people dream of radically changing their lifestyle so I guess I’m incredibly lucky - lucky to be living the dream and doing so on an island this beautiful.
