For a sustainable tourism in Sri Lanka. On the border of the Yala NP to enjoy the wild life and Safari.
We are surrounded by an incredible biodiversity and in our garden we can see lots of animals and enjoy the peacefull atmosphere.
Muna and Carla are the key people behind this place.
Muna is Sri Lankan and the heart of the place. Owner, manager and the main responsible. He has a deep passion for nature, sustainability, and creating a peaceful environment for travelers. With extensive knowledge about the local area, wildlife, spirituality and culture, he ensures all to have an authentic experience. His warm hospitality and dedication to eco-friendly living make the retreat a special place.
Carla is from Portugal and brings a global perspective to the place. She has a crucial role in the retreat’s atmosphere. She is the back office, manager, bookings department and events organization and she is always connected with the people.
This is an ecological lodge for a responsible tourism exploring the wild life in a responsible way. With permaculture and spiritual concepts.
We have 6 traditional Eco rooms (build in a rustic/ natural way), a mud house restaurant and a huge jungle garden.
We are a family running this Eco lodge concept, we are surrounded by an amazing biodiversity with a precious landscape and natural place.
There is always loads of things to do and we would like your help.
We work with Eco tourism and sustainability more than 15 years now.
We organize our own responsible safari, Yoga & Meditation retreats and we cultivate organic rice and seasonal vegetables in our Eco farm.
