Rainforest Eco Lodge

The Rainforest Eco-lodge is situated in the Sinharaja Division of the Enselwatte Estate in Deniyaya. This plot of previously cultivated tea-land borders the south-western fringe of the Sinharaja forest reserve, a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site, Biosphere Reserve and Biodiversity Hotspot. The Rainforest Eco-lodge has been designed to preserve and provide a sensational experience of the forest habitat in all its glory.

This accommodation will help you feel at home, with 16 comfortable chalets designed using recycled material and adorned with every amenity you could wish for. The chalets are situated among the Sinharaja tea patch, and offer guests breathtaking views of the forest canopy and tea estate. Each chalet consists of a bedroom, a washroom, a living area and a private deck. In addition, there is an on site observation deck, lounge and meeting room, with spellbinding views being visible from any part of the lodge.

Conforming to a world renowned ecotourism concept, each chalet is architecturally designed using 2 and a half recycled shipping containers, perched on stilts above the tea patch.The interior of each chalet is decorated with bamboo panelling, while the floor and private deck are built from rejected railway sleepers.

There are plenty of activities to enjoy whilst staying in the rainforest. Nature trails allow guests to immerse themselves in the surrounding scenery, experiencing the rainforest's unique ecosystem and biodiversity. Trekking through the quaint undergrowth of Sinharaja offers guests the opportunity to see the area's diverse wildlife, and catch a glimpse of the 147 species of birds native to the area. If you're looking for relaxation, then take a dip in the natural pool, or perhaps experience the natural fish spa therapies in the local water steams to unwind.
