Located in Dambulla, 17 miles from Sigiriya Rock, Eco Village Kalundewa provides accommodations with a garden, free private parking and a terrace.

EVERYTHING - This is not just a stay, it's an experience never to be forgotten. Embarking on the Eco Village journey felt like entering a tranquil time capsule. Rocky Mountain views painted a picturesque backdrop as we traversed fields on the road to nostalgia. Mr. Kasun, the maestro of operations, warmly greeted us during check-in, creating a symphony of hospitality that lingered throughout our stay. The top-floor wood cabin surprised us with its elegant decor, and my wife and Mr. Kasun had conspired to orchestrate a delightful birthday cake. As we roamed the property, we discovered a magical world filled with unexpected mango offerings and nostalgic swings and hammocks. The day was punctuated by the melody of freshly brewed milk tea, leading us to an eagerly awaited Bullock Cart ride down memory lanes. The evening sky painted itself in hues of enchantment as we indulged in a dinner masterpiece of Sri Lankan delights, served in a traditional setting. As the moon cast its cozy spell, we surrendered to the embrace of plush beds and a gentle night breeze, foreshadowing the enchanting overture of morning tea awaiting us. In the garden, a breakfast symphony unfolded, starring a tantalizing ensemble of traditional rice and curry—a culinary masterpiece that gracefully ushered in the perfect dawn. Exploring the city and reluctantly packing our bags, bidding goodbyes became a bittersweet melody. In conclusion, the Eco Village is a portal to serenity and tradition, offering a calm haven with a touch of magic. I wholeheartedly recommend this enchanting abode to anyone seeking a timeless tale of relaxation. Kudos to Mr. Kasun & the team! I'm already anticipating the next chapter in this unforgettable journey.

    We chose not to climb Sigiriya (having just recovered from Adam's Peak!) but instead chose the much shorter Pidurangala which afforded a fabulous view of Sigiriya. Highly recommended. A visit to the Bawa hotel, Heritance Kandalama, is well worth it as an insight into the brilliant architectural mind of Geoffrey Bawa.

    Dambulla is an excellent base for exploring Kandy, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya. We stayed there for 4 Nights and could cover the heritage sites easily. Dambulla Caves are a must-see and so is Sigiriya (just 16 Kms. away). Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa are around an hours drive but Dambulla is much well-connected and less touristy.

Located at the heart of this historic region, it offers unbeatable access to some of the country’s most iconic sites.

With its central location, Dambulla is the ideal base for exploring these cultural wonders, while also providing a peaceful escape surrounded by nature. Whether you're into history, culture, or simply breathtaking landscapes, Dambulla is the best place to start your journey through Sri Lanka’s rich heritage.

    I loved everything they have amazing vibe, nothing was to much trouble . All staff kind and helpful. Dambulla is quiet but has local shops, cafes Pizza Hut, great small restaurant a few miles from Evergreen serving very good food. It's run by the people who run Evergreen. So recommended by me.. Anything you want to do or go and see will be arranged for you Tuk Tuk guy is a staff member . If you need car/driver it will be arranged.

    The guesthouse is very close to Dambulla Cave Temples which was the reason I chose it. It has decent rooms and very friendly hosts. Run by a sweet family who are always willing to help out. I always got response within a min if I needed anything. I found their rates for tuk tuk to Polannaruwah and Sigiriya so I opted for a private one and they didn't mind. Had breakfast one day and it was a big spread and pretty good. The room is very clean and the bathroom too.

    We had a very warm welcome and were given fresh mango juice from the garden which was a lovely touch. The pool is fantastic and the place is a stones throw from the hustle and bustle of Dambulla. Easy to get a bus at just before 7am to Sigiriya, less than a two min walk. We were given some mangoes to take with us which was very kind. Hotel still has renovations going on, so it’s fantastic value for money
