House Rental
The Solar Crab is a beautifully designed open and airy villa by the Negombo Lagoon with three bedrooms and attached bathrooms.
The space:
The layout of the villa was made for relaxing! sitting on a swing chair in the veranda, overlooking the garden and feeling the cool breeze from the lagoon is nothing short of magical !!!
Our salt water pool is perfect for a hot day dip.
Let our staff spoil you and give you a relaxing stay.

Quiet, stylish, relaxing and wonderful food, with a calm lagoon on your doorstep.
We 3 Expats currently living in Sri Lanka have just spent 4 wonderful days staying at Solar Crab residence on the banks of the Negombo Lagoon.
We had the entire place to ourselves and it was an excellent choice of accomodation. The rooms are very clean, large and well equipped, and the simple yet very practical living area was spacious, cooling with the cross breeze and comfortable.
The 2 staff onsite were very professional. Discreet, courteous, helpful and with good local knowledge and spoken English. The chef (Madushanka) provided us with large, tasty and nutritious meals and the Manager (Gihan) was always available to answer our questions and provide assistance. Both men were in attendance for our entire stay and were always eager to help when requested, but they also ensured we had privacy and practised safe Covid protocols.
The actual grounds are large, well maintained and clean. Whilst the pool is very small, it was refreshing and very clean. We made use of the kayaks onsite on the adjoining lagoon and it was very safe in the calm waters.
We had an extremely relaxing time whilst staying at Solar Crab and it was a perfect tonic after many months confined to City living and numerous lockdowns. We would also recommend taking an early morning boat ride on the lagoon and into the wetlands (for bird watching and a tranquil start to the day). This was arranged by Aruna at Mutharajawela Visitor Centre.
We highly recommend staying at Solar Crab if you want a large clean venue, wonderful food and
peace and quiet during a relaxing break.
