The portion sizes were much more than we could finish. It is 5 min drive from Pasikuda beach which was very convenient for beach days in the morning and the ability to change before other activities in the afternoon. Overall a great experience. "

"Maison d’hôte sur la plage Il y aurait tout pour en faire un endroit merveilleux mais pour cela il faudrait accentuer les efforts sur le Menage, le matériel qui est cassé. Tout est laissé à l’abandon (matelas déchiré et tache sur les transats). Les baies vitrées n’ont pas du voir un chiffon depuis des années. La plage devant la maison est plein de détritus. La cuisine n’est pas formidable non plus "

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Puliyanthivu?
The best area to stay in Puliyanthivu is along the Batticaloa Lagoon, particularly near the Kallady Bridge, which offers convenient access to both the town's amenities and the beach.

This area is the heart of Puliyanthivu, with hotels and guesthouses lining the lagoon front. The Kallady Bridge, a great landmark, connects Puliyanthivu Island to the mainland, making it easy to explore. You'll find a selection of local eateries and shops within a short walk.

Couples looking for a relaxing stay will appreciate accommodation here for its scenic views of the lagoon and the gentle breezes. Many hotels in this area offer balconies overlooking the water, great for enjoying a quiet evening. It's also a good starting point for boat trips on the lagoon.

Solo travellers will find this area convenient due to its central location and accessibility. It's straightforward to get around on foot or by tuk-tuk to explore local markets or visit the Batticaloa Lighthouse.
When is the best time to go to Puliyanthivu?
The best time to visit Puliyanthivu is during the dry season, which runs from April to September.

During these months, you can expect warm, sunny weather with minimal rainfall, which is ideal for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities. The sea is usually calm and clear, making it great for swimming, snorkelling, or simply relaxing by the coast.

For those interested in cultural events, planning your trip around April might allow you to experience the Sinhala and Tamil New Year celebrations, which are a significant part of local life. However, keep in mind that this is a popular travel period, so booking your accommodation and any activities well in advance is advisable.

While the period from October to March is also warm, it coincides with the monsoon season, bringing higher chances of rain and rougher seas.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if cancelled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Puliyanthivu.
