Nature eco lodge vacation rentals in Sri Lanka

Amazing remote location camping in the mountains with fantastic views. If you like nature and simple living you should stay here! The tent accomodation is really cosy and you may even share your bathroom with a few small frogs! The outdoor shower has a great view. Amila and team looked after us really well, Amila is very friendly and kind, a great guy to talk to. The food the chef made was amazing ( even if there was so much we couldn't eat it all!), especially as we were so far in the mountains and everything has to be brought in. Shermal organised us a guide to trek up Knuckles Peak 1 and 2 with wonderful views from the top. The guide was excellent with a huge knowledge of plants, animals and birds. It can be cold and wet so we needed warm clothes and rain gear one day, but the fire in the dining area is lovely in the evening to keep warm by. We loved our stay here although it is hard to find..luckily our driver communicated on the phone with Amila to get directions along the way.

Alba and her Partner Manolo were great hosts: always super helpfull, friendly and attentively. They gave us good advice and helped us with organizing trips to Sigiriya, Kaudulla, Dambulla and Pollonaruwa. To visit all this sites Sat Nam Village is the best place to stay! Cause after an exhausting trip you can relax perfectly in the beautiful garden in a hammock under a tree or in the brandnew pool. And don’t forget the fooood! We really enjoyed the rice and curry prepared by one of the lovely ladies who are working on the property! It was delicious. If you need some variation they also offer great Spanish food prepared by Alba herself! We totally enjoyed our stay, would definitely come back and can highly recommend Sat Nam Village for a cultural but at the same time very relaxing stay!

This was genuinely one of our favourite places in all of Sri Lanka. Incredibly peaceful and beautiful with a stunning view of the lake and just the sounds of nature. The room is very luxurious, from the big comfy bed to the beautiful bathroom with a hot waterfall shower, it was perfect! Madhu’s hospitality was expectional, we were so well taken care of and felt at home right away! We had dinner on the terrace by the lake both nights and it was the most delicious and varied local food we’ve had! The breakfast was also fantastic! One of the highlights was when Madhu offered for us to borrow her paddleboard of the lake where we went round the lagoon at sunset and saw lots of widlife! A truly exceptional place, would definitely recommend!!

Thank you for making our stay memorable. I have been here 8 yrs ago. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely authentic food. Will comeback again !!

We had such a great time at this place with my family. Our kids could play outside and we adults had a chance to relax. The whole host family were just lovely. Food was good, we got something for everyone (not an easy task). They helped us with everything we needed and were really flexible.

At first - super fast communication with host. It makes everything much easier! Thanks for that. Everything was good at the end, just a little minus - when we arrived at evening pool was dirty. Also on next morning there was varan (big lizard) swimming - but our kids will say that it’s a plus :)) After we asked about the pool it was immediately cleaned. Room was nice and clean. Breakfast was really great. We recommend this place! No worries about the pool we swim and everything was good :)) Beautiful view!

We stayed at Moon Isle for two nights in March 2025. The property is beautifully located right on the beach. The hosts Amanda and Umesh were amazing, very flexible and responsive. Pigeon island is just a 15 mins boat ride from the property. Highly recommend this place.

Follow the pin on google maps, it is where it says on the map - but no clear sign is visible outside the property. The property is close to the road, where there are a few restaurants and shops. It is very easy to get a tuk-tuk from the main road if you want to go further. Despite being close to the road, the property is quiet and very peaceful. It looks onto a small pool of water and is surrounded by greenery. There are some lovely quiet road to walk around and meander past the lakes. Very pretty and lots of wildlife. Sometimes it can get into the room too - we found the occasional frog or lizard bouncing around, which is fine for nature lovers like us, but might not be for everyone! The hosts were very welcoming, extremely polite and respectful. We highly recommend the food too - it’s delicious! This is a really well priced room in a quiet location. Only downside is a few noisy dogs nearby, they are loud but not usually aggressive.

Beautiful place designed with taste, the food is excellent. The house is outside of Kandy in a quiet area, which feels good. The only problem: complicated to access in Tuktuk, they don't pick you up because they're too far away on Pick me and uber.

Very nice room with high ceiling and big windows and a nice view of the river. The large bed is very comfy. Unfortunately no A/C, but well tolerable at night with ceiling fan. No cooking facilities, but cheap restaurants within walking distance. The family is very nice - and uncomplicated when changing the reservation.

Great accommodation. Simple room with exceptional views! Amesh is very friendly, helpful and communication was easy. The optional breakfast is very tasty and authentic. Beaches, restaurants, bars and shops are within walking distance. We had a great time in there!

My stay at Gileemale Walawwa was an experience that will not soon be forgotten. The hospitality that Ishantha and his amazing staff provide is on par with the Royal treatment that this property’s long history is known for. From the moment we arrived to the moment we checked out, our comfort and wellbeing seemed to be the number one priority. Given the property’s rich history of over 300 years it felt like a time capsule full of charm and personality of the past, while at the same time providing more than enough modern amenities for our comfort. Away from any and all societal chaos, Ishantha’s property is a true hidden gem while still being close enough to the town of Ratnapura for anything more you could need. The attention to detail in regard to the guest experience here is unmatched and I would love to return one day. Thank you Ishantha!

Sam and Nilu are great hosts and they were attentive to us and provided us with everything we've asked. He was always around for us to ask any questions about any tips. They have gone beyond and done everything to give us a good experience for our little holiday. I can't highly recommend them enough.

This place is just a paradise. Super spacious, clean, quiet, beautiful view with sunset on the lagoon on top. I was suppose to stay for three days and finally booked for 2 weeks. The family is nice and Hasith very helpful and caring. He responded right away to bring me extra things that I needed. Super super kind. I very highly recommand. Also easy to take a bus 800m away to reach the ocean and more crowded places. There is a nice village nearby also.

beautiful resort , a friendly and a warm host Mr Venu .. being a solo traveller vacationing , Mr Venu and his team ensured I was taken care of well even in terms of my safety .. the service is impeccable and the view from the lagoon is amazing.. I will recommend this place to everyone travelling to kalpitiya.. the location n accessibility is also very good 😊..

I stayed at the place for a week and was very happy with everything and can and will recommend it. You have a wonderful view and are surrounded by nature, you can hear the chirping of birds and you can smell the smell of cinnamon and relax in peace. You have a spacious shared kitchen where you can cook at any time including dining area. Since I am dependent on good and stable internalers due to my online business, I was very pleased that the internet was sufficient for this. The contact with the host family was very warm and you feel welcome and everything is done to help you and the food was fantastic. Thank you very much for everything, I will be back.

This place was so beautiful! So many well kept plants and the pool area was so nice. The gentleman working there and the lady that cooked were so kind and sweet and always smiling and wanting to help. Food was delicious. very kind people, even offered us our room to rest in after a safari after our check out time, so nice! Would definitely recommend this place and would stay again and again and again!

A hospitable host. I was always in touch and ready to help (he advised me what to see and where to go, as well as with the organization of transport). It was nice to communicate not only with him, but also with his family. Wonderful location, beautiful garden and only 2 separate double-decker cabins on each floor. Lovely place with everything you need, including good internet. This place is quiet, comfortable, and loved the availability of hammocks. It's nice to lie in hammocks and listen to the birds. It was unexpected to see harmless monkeys on the palm trees. Close (5 min by walking) is a clean and deserted beach. Delicious breakfasts. You can also order dinner. If we are in Koggala again, we will definitely stay in this place. Thank you so much for your hospitality!

Worth every penny, that was one of the coolest stays I’ve ever had. The place was great, I would highly recommend it, it’s right beside the river which soothes the soul and Lulls you to sleep. I have to talk about the service, wow, incredible, I felt like royalty the way I was treated, and the main gentleman I believe his name was Dithu? He was beyond amazing, he went so out of his way to make me feel welcome, secure and cared for. He truly was amazing, all the staff were! As well as the main lady, I can’t remember her name! They also told me about cricket and we watched the fame while they prepared me a feast. Thankyou everyone for an incredible and memorable stay.
