I've totally gotten addicted to Sri Lanka—visited three times in just half a year!

For the May Day holiday, I found myself back in Sri Lanka again—seriously hooked. 🤣 Over five nights, I stayed not only at Aman but also at the very niche local brand Uga, plus another Geoffrey Bawa-designed hotel, Cinnamon Bentota, which surprisingly didn't disappoint. After its 2019 renovation, it's got way more "spirit" now. - ⭐ Day 1: Arrived in the morning and headed straight to Bawa's Café. Though there's no AC, the designer cleverly used the interior structure and layout to let breezes flow through. You can enjoy afternoon tea here, as well as lunch and dinner. Later, checked into Cinnamon Bentota. ⭐ Day 2: Traveled from Bentota to Yala—my second visit, but the safari let me down this time. Didn’t see what I hoped for. 😔 ⭐ Day 3: Amanwella left a great impression, though it feels more suited for honeymooners. ⭐ Day 4: Aman Galle was absolutely my favorite. The creaky wooden floors in the corridors give such a vintage charm. At night, strolled around Galle Fort, sipping drinks and enjoying live music. ⭐ Day 5: Returned to Colombo in the afternoon for Chinese food at Dynasty Restaurant (didn’t take pics). Great spot for a taste of home—authentic flavors, run by Chinese owners. ⭐ Day 6: Wrapped up the trip. Sri Lanka offers endless ways to explore—no matter how you plan it, you can’t go wrong.
