Beachside
Restaurants and Cafes -
the greatest concentration of Restaurants are to be found in the
Mount Lavinia area. Sri Lankan, Chinese, Asian and European food
can easily be found. Something you must try however, are the Beachside
Restaurants specialising in seafood dishes. If you don’t
feel like going out, your hosts at ‘Mount Lodge’ will
prepare a mouth watering Sri Lankan meal for you. 
Shopping -
will be one of your most memorable experiences. There are some
shops in Colombo that simply should not be missed – not
only will you find bargains but merchandise that will absolutely
capture you. Take a train ride from Mount Lavinia to the ‘Pettah’
(Bazaar) and spend a day wandering through one of the greatest
Eastern Bazaars.
Sightseeing -
spend a day or two seeing the sights of Colombo. Museums, Art
Galleries, Cultural Theatre and Concerts, Temples and Mosques
and more. You may choose to live it up and have a fling at one
of the Casinos or a drink and a dance at one of the Night Clubs,
or simply a ‘Barista’ at one of their modern outlets.

Swimming -
a dip in the Indian Ocean and a loll on the beach can be had a
few minutes walk from ‘Mount Lodge’. Order an ice-cold
drink from the cafes on the beach. If you prefer a swimming pool,
arrangements can be made to visit the Mount Lavinia Hotel which
is a stones throw away from ‘Mount Lodge’.
Strolling -
a stroll along the Avenues of Mount Lavinia, is well worth doing.
Take a relaxed look at Sri Lankan life. You will be acknowledged
with the widest of smiles from these friendliest of people. Note
the Architectural style of the buildings reflecting the changes
in the Country’s history. Nearby is the weekly ‘Pola’
(market). Check the day and take the walk.
Our staff -
who are resident at the Lodge, will only be too happy to assist
you in every way possible, to ensure the happiest of stays with
us. Should you require drinks, meals, snacks, transport, tours
or information, don’t hesitate to ask your hosts.
