Malabe accommodation from NZ$156

Of course, you'd be mad to visit Malabe without taking some snaps of the Dambulla Cave Temple. If you'd like to book a hotel near this Malabe icon, look up the Bluesky Guest House and Governor's Gangula Dambulla, which are within a short stroll.

You could also check out the Reef Villa & Spa and the Kingsbury. The Reef Villa & Spa is situated 25 kilometres from the middle of Malabe. The Kingsbury is positioned 14 kilometres away. Another possibility is to make a reservation at the Galadari Hotel or the Renuka City Hotel.

Colombo is 13 kilometres to the west of Malabe and is where you'll find the National Art Gallery, University of Colombo and Galle Face Green. Should you wish to visit Colombo, be sure to check out the Colombo City Hotels and Comfort@15 Hotel Colombo. 50 kilometres to the south of Malabe, you may also choose to stay at Beruwela, home to the Eden Resort & Spa and Riverina Hotel. Whether you're just passing through or staying in Beruwela, set aside a little time to check out the Beruwela Harbour and Kande Vihare Temple.

Mad about sport? Enjoy your obsession by visiting Sugathadasa Stadium, 12 kilometres to the northwest of Malabe. Like to stay near the action? The Kingsbury and the Galadari Hotel could both be perfect.

Visitors arriving or departing via Bandaranaike International Airport may plan to book some accommodation at the Full Moon Garden Hotel or the Cockpit Hotel, which are both a short distance away.
