If you’re planning a Sri Lanka holiday and wondering which hotels have genuinely earned their reputation, TripAdvisor just gave you a very clear answer.
Jetwing Hotels has been awarded 24 TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards for 2026 the highest number of recognitions ever achieved by a hotel group in Sri Lanka. The awards place all 24 properties among the top 10% of hotels worldwide on TripAdvisor, the world’s largest travel guidance platform, based entirely on authentic guest reviews submitted over the past 12 months.
No editorial panels. No industry judges. Just real travellers, real stays, and real feedback.
One Property Went Even Further
Among the 24 winners, Mermaid Hotel and Club stands in a category of its own. The resort received TripAdvisor’s Best of the Best distinction reserved for the top 1% of properties globally and has now been named among the Top 10 All Inclusive Resorts in Asia for the fourth consecutive year. That level of consistency across four years is genuinely difficult to achieve and speaks to something well beyond a single good season.
Coverage Across the Entire Island
What makes this recognition particularly useful for travellers is its geographic breadth. The 24 awarded properties span virtually every corner of Sri Lanka from Jetwing Colombo Seven in the capital and Jetwing Jaffna in the far north, to Jetwing Yala on the edge of the national park and Jetwing Lighthouse on the southern coast. Whether your Sri Lanka itinerary takes you to the hill country, the Cultural Triangle, the east coast, or the beach belt there is a TripAdvisor-validated Jetwing property close to where you’re headed.

What This Means for Your Trip
TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice recognition carries a specific kind of weight it cannot be bought, lobbied for, or awarded by committee. It is purely the accumulated voice of guests who stayed, experienced the property on their own terms, and took the time to write about it. Across 24 properties and every region of Sri Lanka, that consistency of guest satisfaction tells you something important about what travelling with Jetwing actually feels like.
For anyone still building their Sri Lanka accommodation shortlist, this is a reliable place to start.
