A Home Away From Home

Nestled in the heart of Ella-Wellawaya's countryside, our traditional village retreat offers an authentic glimpse into Sri Lankan rural life. Built with clay bricks, thatched roofs, and surrounded by swaying coconut palms and golden paddy fields.

Here, time slows down. Wake to the gentle sounds of nature, spend your days exploring ancient temples and waterfall trails, and evenings gathered around traditional wood-fire cooking.
