The DoubleTree by Hilton Weerawila Rajawarna Resort is one of the newest hotels to open in Sri Lanka's deep south, built on the shore of Lake Weerawila in an area known for its birdlife rather than its beaches. The wetland the hotel borders forms part of the Weerawila-Debarawewa bird sanctuary, recorded to hold several hundred species, and much of the resort is arranged to look outward over the lake so that its resident storks, herons, cormorants and other waterfowl stay part of the everyday view rather than something guests have to seek out.
As a DoubleTree property, the hotel follows the brand's familiar formula of contemporary, generously sized rooms rather than a themed or heritage design, and arriving guests are greeted with the chain's trademark warm chocolate chip cookie at check-in. Interiors favour a clean, uncluttered look that keeps the lake outlook as the focal point rather than competing with it, and reviewers consistently describe the rooms as spacious and well finished.
Dining runs across two restaurants and three bars, most positioned to take in the water. Spoonbill is the all-day dining restaurant, while Redshank, on the rooftop, is built around Sri Lankan seafood, with crab, prawns and lobster featuring heavily on a menu that leans into the south coast's reputation for shellfish. A swim-up bar and a separate poolside bar give guests places to eat and drink without leaving the pool deck, and a coffee shop offers a simpler stop through the day.
Leisure facilities are built around an outdoor swimming pool, a rooftop terrace overlooking the lake, a fitness centre, a spa offering body treatments, and gardens that run through the grounds. The setting places the hotel in the drier, quieter stretch of Sri Lanka's southern coast, close to the Yala region, where the landscape is scrub and lake rather than the lush greenery of the wet zone further west.
Guest reviews since opening have been positive, with staff singled out repeatedly for warm, attentive service and the property praised for a genuinely picturesque, lakeside setting that feels distinct from the more crowded beach resorts elsewhere on the island.
