Maya, Tangalle, Sri Lanka

Forget your iPod, at this century-old manor house the peaceful chirrups of the crickets and ribbits of the frogs is the only soundtrack you'll need. There's plenty to look at, too, like the midnight-blue pool, flower-rich gardens, and patchwork of rice paddies. Choose from the five breezy suites that each have 25-foot ceilings and elegant extras like four-poster beds and private courtyards, then browse through the hotel's collection of books, CDs, and games (free entertainment is always good!). Maya also houses a restaurant serving delicious takes on local delicacies like marinated wild boar or curried goat.
Room to book: The two main-house suites are identical in layout, but Thekka has better views, while Khumbuk offers more privacy.
