EcoLanka, ecotourism in Sri Lanka

A wide range of accommodations for all tastes

6 double rooms in a traditional bungalow and 3 ecological cottages await you at EcoLanka. Accommodate from 2 to 6 people in a comfortable accommodation perfectly integrated in its environment. The materials used for the creation of EcoLanka have all been sourced locally: stones from the mountain and wood from the forest.

Enjoy a unique place immersed in nature. Nestled between the mountains and the forest, EcoLanka benefits from a mild temperature all year round. Through the large windows or from your terrace, enjoy the spectacle of nature before your eyes, including the many species of birds that surround you. You won't even realize that your room has no television.
