Janus Paradise Rest

Picture staying right by a glorious pristine beach, waves rolling in, surrounded by lush tropical gardens, you’re having breakfast of the most delicious fresh fruits all locally grown, then lunch or dinner on the sand under a coconut palm leaf canopy, later you might dive into a clean sky blue ocean, or an infinity pool if you prefer, then when the day is done you might take a lazy walk under the setting sun before retreating to your beachside bungalow that evokes the feel of sea breezes and driftwood. It might conjure up images of Bali or coastal Thailand, but this is Sri Lanka, at Janu’s Paradise Rest. While some places offer class, Janu’s offers charm and plenty of it, in part owing to its size, not too big, not too small. Everyone at Janu’s, from the owner to the manager to the chef and support teams greet you with warmth and work tirelessly to make your stay a memorable one. Accommodation is perfect beach accommodation, clean, comfortable and unpretentious, while the restaurant menu has a good selection of local and international-styled meals. Fish is a specialty, try the mullet, it’s superb. Janu’s is designed for you to relax, kick off your shoes, leave the world behind, and it delivers all round, at a very affordable price. I never felt so rested, so do yourself a favour…
