Lodges in Galewela

We’re a couple of very experienced travellers. We’ve stayed in some of the best hotels around the world. There are many times that these five star hotels just don’t live up to expectations. Here, we took a chance as all the reviews seemed almost too good to be true. Since our stay at Kandalama Lodge we’ve stayed in many hotels around Sri Lanka. A handful were more costly than Kandalama Lodge and each time we’ve been disappointed. Wedge, the hotel owner was one the most thoughtful and intuitive hoteliers that I’ve come across in this country! His team at the lodge also understood the standards he expected. The lodge has been crafted with such care and precision in a way I’ve not seen anywhere else in Sri Lanka. The layout of the lodge, the plants and flowers around the pool, dining and bar area are reminiscent for me of a high end lodge I stayed at in Bali. Perfection! Don’t get me started on the dreamy outdoor bathroom, wow! Also, I have to say, the food is superb and reasonably priced. Amila is always on hand with his tuk tuk and he’s just the nicest person. The price to go to Lion Rock and Dambulla Cave were reasonable and he didn’t try to upsell us at all. The grounds boys are lovely and keep the pool area and grounds tidy. Honesty I can’t say enough about this place, thank you so much Wedge! I hope we have the pleasure to stay with you again one day.

The breakfast is perfect ! You can Share experience With the family ! Ask Nimesha to cook for you her rice and curry or sweat chicken.

Nestled in the heart of Sri Lanka’s lush landscape, the Dambulla Tree House offers a one-of-a-kind retreat that seamlessly blends modern comfort with natural beauty.
