Located on the edge of the Sinharaja Forest, this remarkable eco-tourist hotel was hand-built into, under and around a slew of gigantic boulders. Delicious food is served in the open-air restaurant situated beneath the largest boulder, a unique experience; it's not unlike dining under the prow of the Titanic! There is also a cave bar and spring-water swimming pool tucked into the shady, quiet and luxurious surroundings. The bedrooms have a rustic charm to them with rough stone walls, shutters rather than windows and no doors on the bathrooms. Guided walks can be arranged into the nature reserve (about a 30 minute drive) although you can see plenty of bird, insect, reptile and mammal life around the resort.

160 Km from Colombo International Air Port and only 2 Km from Kalawana, 15 Km from Boulder Garden to Sinharaja. The Virgin rain forest.
Sinharaja is known for its last viable area of "Primary Tropical Rainforest" of the Country. More than 60% of the trees are endemic and many of them are considered rare. There is much endemic wildlife, especially birds, but the reserve is also home to 50% of the endemic species of mammals and butterflies, as well as many kinds of insects, reptiles and rare amphibians.
