Rooms keep to simple comforts: air conditioning or ceiling fans, en-suite bathrooms, and daily housekeeping. The grounds stay shaded and green, with lawns and seating that invite lingering rather than rushing off to the next activity. It is a small property, and it reads as one. Staff arrange transport and bookings for rafting, village tours, and river cruises, keeping the lodge as a fixed point between long days out on the Zambezi.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WETU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43868363980859,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/the-nkhosi-livingstone-lodge-and-spa-hotel-mukuni-village-livingstone-10101-zambia-01.webp?v=1785179443"},{"product_id":"tanyati-by-mukwa-river-lodge-livingstone-zambia","title":"Tanyati by Mukwa River Lodge","description":"\u003cp\u003eWide brown water fills the view from Tanyati's patio, the Zambezi moving past gardens kept green by its proximity. The villa holds four suites and sleeps up to ten guests, eight adults and two children, each room finished with cotton linen, its own lounge and a balcony angled toward the river. It is a self-contained house rather than a lodge room: a bar and lounge, a cinema, a gym and a spa sit under one roof, with a heated pool and patio stretched along the water's edge. A private chef runs the kitchen, drawing produce from the organic garden next door and building menus around Zambian ingredients and technique. A concierge handles the rest. Guests can fish for tiger fish on the Zambezi between June and December, or go out at dawn or dusk when hippos and elephants come down to drink along the banks. Village and cultural tours run into Livingstone, along with trips to the town's markets and museums, and a guided outing to Victoria Falls, close enough for an afternoon. Tanyati also carries full access to the neighbouring Mukwa River Lodge and its amenities, so the privacy of a private villa comes without losing the wider run of a working lodge. Check-in is from 2pm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WETU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43868379152443,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/tanyati-villa-lodge-livingstone-zambia-01.webp?v=1785179469"},{"product_id":"taru-villas-the-long-house-bentota-sri-lanka","title":"Taru Villas The Long House","description":"\u003cp\u003eA single corridor runs the length of the house, and it gives The Long House its name and its logic. Ten rooms open off it, each fitted with local woodwork and stone, and each keeps its own private terrace facing either garden or pool. Bentota's beach lies a short walk beyond, down a garden path bordered by palm and hibiscus. Guests cross a stretch of railway track to reach the sand, and the passing train has become something of a fixture at breakfast. Family Suites pair a king room with a twin room around a shared living area, at 872 sq ft the largest configuration on offer. Premier Rooms sit at a slight elevation, so the pool, the garden, and the ocean line up in view from the terrace. Superior Rooms are smaller at 603 sq ft but keep the same private terrace and rain-shower fittings found throughout the house. Dining happens poolside or on the sand, with tables set directly on the beach after dark. Spa treatments come to the room rather than the other way round, booked 48 hours ahead. The property is part of Small Luxury Hotels of the World's Considerate Collection. Security staff keep the gate through the night. It sits on Galle Road in Alawatugoda, Bentota, on Sri Lanka's southwest coast.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WETU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43868385574971,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/AHRPTWlLHaleCgUeGcLtrzU2EtK0hPxlgjS9fRvO42j_DfjWOcNuN7ZjS4qKtJ_NO4lGpwZflnUKUIPZLL-LDXHeU-z2gv6a0kMcUmlRvXyZJd2zhxCaS3P9RsBYdk9e-n4JeBX6Q47T_w4800-h4800.jpg?v=1785179480"}],"url":"https:\/\/plekify.com\/en-us\/collections\/southern-province.oembed","provider":"Plekify","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
