About Mark the Spots

A local guide to the places worth finding across Sri Lanka, for travellers and for the people who live here.

Why we started

Search for where to stay or eat in Sri Lanka and you get the same few big platforms. The family-run guesthouse with the best view, or the café locals actually go to, is often buried. Mark the Spots brings the good places together in one place, organised the way people actually search.

How we choose spots

Every place on the site is chosen by our team. We look for good locations, fair value, people who care, and something that makes a place worth marking. We are starting with destinations we know well, like Kandy and Colombo, and adding more of the island one destination at a time.

Free to use

Mark the Spots is free for everyone. Some links may earn us a commission, and any paid placement is always labelled. See our affiliate disclosure.
