Do You Need An Adapter in Sri Lanka ?

So, you’re packing for Sri Lanka and ticking off the essentials. Clothes, sunscreen, passport… and of course, your phone charger.

But then comes the question 🤔🔌 — will it fit the sockets in Sri Lanka, or do you need to pack an adapter?

Sri Lanka’s Electric Sockets and Adapters

Sri Lanka, a melting pot of cultures, has an eclectic electric mix too. Mainly, you’ll find two types of electric sockets, (plus the universal type):

Type D: Fondly called the ‘Indian’ socket. Imagine three round pins in a triangular dance formation.

Type G: The ‘British’ cousin. It’s all about three straight-laced, rectangular pins, reminiscent of the UK and parts of Asia.

These types run on a breezy 230V, swaying at the rhythm of 50Hz.

Sockets at At Ease Beach Hotel:

As we always strive to make you at ease 😊 we have the universal sockets (picture below) in every room in our hotel.

My Norwegian Phone charger fits like a charm in there 👇 and the same goes for chargers from most places in the world.

Stay at ease – charge at ease 😅

Pack the Adapter or not?

Before you start packing, check if your charger fits Sri Lanka’s sockets (mainly Type D and Type G). Most modern chargers work with 230V, but it’s always smart to double-check.

If you’re staying at At Ease Beach Hotel, you won’t need to worry – adapters are available for our guests. Most other hotels also provide them, but it’s not guaranteed.

To be safe:
🔌 Bring a universal adapter from home
🔌 Or pick one up easily (and cheaply) in local shops in Sri Lanka

This way, you’ll stay connected, keep your devices safe, and enjoy every moment of your trip without power worries.

Safe travels and may your battery always be full!
