Kalu's Hideaway Udawalawe
About this property
Spread across 5 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, Kalu’s Hideaway Udawalawe is a perfect spot for a relaxed family getaway. Just a few minutes from the gates of Udawalawe National Park, the property offers a quiet, comfortable space where both kids and grown-ups can unwind and enjoy nature. Our spacious rooms come with private balconies and are designed to make you feel right at home, with cozy beds, attached bathrooms, and plenty of space for the whole family. Some rooms even have a separate seating area—ideal for board games or simply stretching out after a day of adventure. There’s also a children’s play area to keep the little ones entertained, and for the grown-ups, optional massages are available at our wellness center. Mealtimes are easy and enjoyable with a restaurant that serves a variety of Sri Lankan, Indian, Chinese, and Continental dishes—something for everyone to enjoy. We also offer room service and have barbecue facilities if you'd like to dine under the stars. We’re just 1.9 mi from both Udawalawe National Park and the Elephant Transit Home, making it easy to plan short day trips. The sacred Sri Sankapala Rajah Maha Viharaya is about 6.2 mi away, and Mattala International Airport is just 25 mi from the property.
