At the heart of the Island’s Cultural Triangle, amid the primal symphony of twittering bird calls and fluttering leaves dancing to the tune of the wind; ensconced in a rural farming community that time seems to have fondly overlooked, lies Kalundewa Retreat, unique among hotels in Dambulla, Sri Lanka. This charming refuge for nature lovers, nestled in a lush 100-acre haven 150 km away from Colombo, is a strategic base for visits to UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as the Dambulla Cave Temple and Sigirya Rock Fortress.

 

Accomodation

Wake up to the sounds of nature; a flowing lake, rustling trees or birds chirping amid a paddy field. Let the day unfold as the mist reveals majestic mountaintops that blend with the green landscape. Relax as your butler attends to your every requirement. Witness the harmony of untouched nature and modern stylish settings that set the mood for a memorable vacation at a unique boutique hotel in Sri Lanka. Each of these distinctive rooms also draws its name from the beautiful trees in our property such as Ehela, Nika, Damunu, Bakmee & Kumbuk.
