Hotel information
The first houseboat in Sri Lanka, Yathra by Jetwing is based on the Bentota River, close to the popular beach resort of Bentota.
Inspired by the houseboats of the Kerala backwaters, Yathra offers a unique and relaxed overnight experience which you are sure to treasure long after returning to the shore.
The houseboat which has been carefully crafted from bamboo and thatch, offers all the comforts of a luxury hotel and with just 2 en-suite cabins, each with its own balcony, the upmost privacy is assured. The Cabins have rustic furnishing and warm wooden accents, and air conditioning for your comfort.
An extensive menu and drinks list is offered in a choice of locations including the rooftop deck, the aft of the boat or in your cabin.
