Nature eco lodge vacation rentals in Southern Province

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!!

This was our favourite place in Sri Lanka. The accomodation is stunning - right on the lagoon so you will see birds and animals right from your balcony. Chamin was the perfect host, his wife cooked us incredible food - Sri Lankan breakfast and an incredible BBQ of lagoon fish - which was one of the best meals of our whole trip. We also went to Bundala park for a safari - Chamin was an incredible host and spotted every animal - we saw 15 elephants, crocodiles, pelicans, monkeys and hundreds of tropical birds. We will definitely be coming 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!

After having travelled for 10 days throughout Sri Lanka we enjoyed the peace and serenity at BoB so much! Thank you! Feona -the manager- is doing a grat job, and the team is lovely, too! The food is excellent, our kids enjoyed it even more as it is not so spicy. The 6 bed-villa was perfect for us, enough space for all 5 of us. The outdoor bathroom is awesome, we loved to have a shower early in the morning with all the birds singing. The kids spent many hours in the pool and often went to explore the garden and all the animals living there. We saw a turtle, land-monitors, peacocks, buffalos, monkeys, jungle fowl and many different kind of birds and insects. So our 5 day-stay was over far too quick...we would love to come back!

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!

Part of the Grand Udawalawae Safari Resort and very nice place it is surrounded by mature forest. Quiet and away from the main road. Restaurant and bar on site. Swimming pool was nice. Great staff.

Dushan is an amazing host! Extremely helpful and friendly:) Nature cabanas is a very relaxing and beautiful place to stay! All staff is super friendly and food is fantastic :) also super friendly with our baby! We would recommend!!

Very quite place in a nice jungles,far from railway and main road. The house is new and all equipment inside also seems new (furniture, shower toilet etc). Kitchen is available plus very good terrace outside.The houses owner Samudu always helped with our questions ( rent of motorbikes ,taxi,barbecue ) we really enjoyed staying in Hill Residence

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.

We had a great time at this wonderful nature lodge. The environment was amazingly calm and relaxing, with lovely views. We enjoyed authentic Sri Lankan food. The staff were friendly and respectful. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a calm and relaxing nature experience while staying somewhat close to the beach.

We were Really happy to stay at this lovely big villa! The room was very very clean, and very BIG !! The host really made our stay perfect! Very attentive to our needs! It’s located not too far from Yala National parc main entrance! Me and my family will come back!!

Our family of five stayed at Tranquil Wild for two nights, and it just wasn't long enough! We loved the size of our room, with a mezzanine for the kids, and everything was clean and comfortable. The communal dining and outdoor spaces, along with the pool, were the perfect spaces to relax in nature, with books, games and outdoor toys too. The staff, in particular Amal, just couldn't do enough for us and are an absolute credit to the establishment. Anne too was communicative, and arranged safaris at both Lunugamvehera and Udawalawe for us at reasonable prices, the former with an excellent guide. I was so grateful to have one less thing to do whilst trip planning! We'd absolutely recommend Tranquil Wild as a must do whilst in Sri Lanka.

This is such an amazing property! Book as soon as you can and stay for as long as you can!! We only wish we had longer to enjoy more of the beautiful views and absolutely incredible infinity pool overlooking the lake! Not to mention the food is sooo delicious and fresh and the host is super responsive with great recs for the area as well!

Really nice place to stay, right beside the beach. Peshitha and his family is really friendly and helpful. Our stay was lovely there. Thank you! Warmly recommended.👌🏼

Beautifully designed place, great view, its the closest location to the entrance of Sinharaja Forest reserve. The guides were friendly and skillful in spotting creatures, the pool was a great solution for chilling after treks. The logistics of the area might cause delays in service, but Prasat and the friendly staff try full heartedly to compensate. Advise to travellers, u should put ur shoes inside ur rooms at night, as stray dogs might damage them. It's out of the control of staff. Also Dogs may cause baby monkeys to panic and fall off trees, so discouraging them from accompanying you into the forest is better.

👌

Truly a magical experience. To go into too much detail would be ruining the adventure, but William and his team have carved out a slice of paradise that we will remember for a long time.

So beautiful and very clean

This place is a little gem. If you’re looking for a private place to stay this is your spot! Absolutely beautiful cabin, the most qualitative of our whole stay in Sri Lanka. Very clean, airco worked perfectly, wifi too. The food is SOOOO DELICIOUS and the hosts are responsive, super nice and helped us with organising safari and our ride to Arugam bay with a fair price. We really recommend this stay as it’s very authentic and feels like family! Enjoy and thanks again !

Gladly again, here you can switch off and do nude yoga on the beach so this natural beach is deserted. Wonderful

It was a really great place to stay. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed the stay very much. The staff is also incredibly nice and helpful! Will come again any time.

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!

A very quite place to stay, located in the middle of cinnamon plantation. We enjoyed the hospitality of this family. Guests can also visit the cinnamon oil factory. Highly recommended
