Thanks for the recommendations! The Ceylon Tea Trails property seems highly regarded but is far from the sea and requires a fair amount of extra driving which is why I was thinking of skipping it. Anything in particular wrong with Anantara? I was thinking Saman Villas/Anantara over Cape Weligama partially due to costs and partially because due to Cape Weligama not having a good beach from some of the reviews. I will look into the Yala Wild Coast Tented Lodge. How is the sea/beach there?
