Expect refreshingly different, more ‘home stay’ in attitude and service style than hotel perhaps, contemporary in design but neither sterile nor soulless, a stylish place though not slave to the word - where quiet sanctuary, mouth watering cuisine and old-fashioned hospitality go hand in hand effortlessly by the wild Indian Ocean. Buckingham Place with its 16 huge suites, spectacular Oceanfront restaurant and, awesome 33m infinity pool, somehow sits well at this remote access fishing village location, providing employment and training opportunities for a team of 55, all of whom dedicated to providing service and care second to none - with a real smile!
Located on Rekawa Beach, Buckingham Place overlooks the Indian Ocean and Rekawa lagoon. It features a 33 m ocean facing infinity pool with wet bar and another pool (12 m) in its quiet nature garden, and direct beach access and a nearby rock-pool for ocean dipping.
All rooms come with a king-size double bed and veranda or balcony overlooking the lagoon. Spacious air-conditioned rooms combine modern art with furnishings made from natural materials. Large private bathrooms have a bathtub and/or rain shower.
Surrounded by tropical greenery, Buckingham Place features several indoor and outdoor relaxation areas, a small spa, a snooker room, and is home to a wild pony that roams freely around the property.
The all-day open-air oceanfront restaurant and bar serve local and international dishes including vegetarian options and a selection of wines, beers and spirits.
Buckingham Place is a 2hr45min drive from Colombo International Airport.
