Top 10 Family All-Inclusive Resorts in Sri Lanka

·Excellent Yala National Park access and guide positioning.

·24-hour all-inclusive product

·Large room and villa inventory with private-pool options.

Anantara Kalutara is a design-led resort on the peninsula where the Kalu Ganga meets the sea, for travellers who want architecture and space. It is about 90 minutes from Colombo's airport, with 141 rooms, two pools including one for adults only, four restaurants and a kids' and teens' club, on a site whose buildings trace back to a Geoffrey Bawa design. All-inclusive is a rate plan some channels offer rather than the resort's own product, and that is the first thing to check.

·Beautiful clifftop and beachfront setting in a coconut estate.

Anantara Peace Haven is a clifftop resort in a coconut estate at Tangalle, for travellers who want the quiet end of Sri Lanka's south coast. It is about an hour from Mattala's airport and roughly three from Colombo, with 152 rooms and villas, a 25-metre infinity pool above the ocean, a children's pool, four restaurants and a large spa. All-inclusive is a rate plan some channels sell rather than the resort's own product.

·Verified all-inclusive availability

Club Hotel Dolphin is a family beach resort at Negombo, for families who want big pools 35 minutes from Colombo's airport. It has 154 rooms, three pools including one for children, two restaurants and three bars on the Negombo shore, and part of its usefulness is that airport: this is the resort people book at the start or the end of a Sri Lanka trip. All-inclusive is a rate plan or a paid upgrade rather than the default, and that is the thing to pin down before arrival.

·Iconic Geoffrey Bawa design

·Small, quiet beachfront property

·Small, quiet, high-space resort.

·Strong all-inclusive evidence

Wild Coast Tented Lodge is a Relais and Chateaux safari lodge of 28 tented suites where the jungle meets the sea at Palatupana, on the edge of Yala. It carries a 9.4 with us, one of the highest scores in our catalog, and it earns that on service, food and design rather than on anything a beach resort would recognise. Suites run to 55 square metres, and the pool suites add a plunge pool of their own.

·Officially all-inclusive
