Polwaththa Eco Lodges (pronounced pol'watha) offers 15 secluded jungle lodges just 19km east of Kandy, each with great views, privacy, and a true "living-in-the-jungle" experience.

​

Enjoy yoga, local cooking classes, and guided treks through rice fields, tea plantations, waterfalls, and the famous Knuckles Mountain Range. Explore nearby villages, connect with the local community, and support local school projects. Day tours to Kandy, Dambulla, Sigiriya, and Wasgamuwa are also available.

Sustainability is at our core — we follow the 3Rs, source purchases within 5km, and invite guests to plant a tree, alongside our own reforestation efforts.

With average temperatures of 22–26°C and minimal mosquitoes, Polwaththa is a pet-friendly sanctuary shared with wild boar, deer, monkeys, and over 70 bird species (16 endemic) — a haven for birdwatchers.

Savor authentic Sri Lankan meals, cooked in traditional clay pots over an open hearth and served with genuine local hospitality.
