The Thissamaharama Rest House is uniquely located in a quaint little town in the Hambantota district. The rest house lies in one of the closest entry points to the Ruhuna National Park.

The picturesque man made lake built over 2000 years ago, the Thisa Wewa provides an excellent setting to the comfortable rest house with 57 double bedrooms. The town which is close to the city of Kataragama, a sacred city to Buddhists, Hindus and muslims is certainly a place worth visiting. The famous Yala , Kumana and Wirawila bird sanctuaries as well as island of birds are a treat to any wild life enthusiast.
