Accommodation in Sinharaja & Kitulgala

Blue Magpie Lodge is a simple guesthouse set by a river with sweeping views of the misty mountains close to the entrance of Sinharaja Forest Reserve, Sri Lanka's last surviving rain forest.

Borderlands camping is based in Kitulgala, a riverside village that offers Sri Lanka’s best white-water rafting experience. Accommodation is in tents and wooden cabins on stilts and built right over the river.

Boulder Garden is immersed in five acres of wilderness. Although just off the minor road to Sinharaja, you will feel enclosed in the depths of a damp and ancient forest, where monkeys and wild squirrels make malarkey in the trees, and eagles and hornbills fly.

Forest Edge is a four-bedroom holiday retreat with a picturesque hilltop setting 30 minutes from Kitulgala, Sri Lanka’s foremost destination for white-water rafting. It is set on a working tea plantation edged by a pine forest and surrounded by mountains

Palmstone is a six-bedroom small luxury hotel in Kitulgala. It is a perfect place for couples and honeymooners who want to relax in a secluded hotel with beautiful surroundings, or for those who want to experience the water-based adventure sports on offer.

Paradise Eco Garden is a three-bedroom eco-retreat set on a working organic agricultural farm near Kitulgala with spectacular views. Nestling in a sleepy hamlet close to the chief Sri Lanka base for white-water rafting and canoeing – Kitulgala, this is ideal for nature lovers.

Rainforest Eco Lodge is a tranquil eco-retreat set on the 500-acre Enselwatte tea plantation in Deniyaya which is about 3,500 ft above sea level. This working tea estate borders the southern end of the Sinharaja with small patches of rainforest even within the tea estate. This project is backed by some of the most reputable travel businesses in Sri Lanka.

Rainforest Edge, perched above the rolling hills of Waddagala, offers one of the most restful panoramas in Sri Lanka. From this appealing eco and ayurveda property, you can gaze upon rolling tea plantations, studded with tea bungalows and factories. Rustic style in harmony with nature is the essence of its appeal, an isolated, pollution-free environment without discomfort.
