Arsulana Eco Lodge & Spa Ginigathena

Review by hotel critic

During my recent trip to Sri Lanka, I had the opportunity to stay in a unique lodge that perfectly blended traditional charm with modern conveniences. Situated amidst stunning natural beauty, it provided an ideal base for exploring the local environment, including beautiful hikes to picturesque waterfalls and nearby attractions. The lodge’s architecture was thoughtfully designed, incorporating local materials while ensuring guest comfort across its three levels. The staff were particularly attentive, always ready to assist with any inquiries or requests. Their demeanor brought a personal touch to our experience, making us feel valued as guests. Meals at the lodge showcased numerous local flavors and were prepared using fresh ingredients, which I appreciated as a marine biologist who values sustainable practices. While my stay was enjoyable, I believe continuous adaptations are necessary to elevate the experiences. The combination of nature and hospitality made it a memorable part of my journey, offering a serene refuge that resonates with the tranquil spirit of Sri Lanka. This destination is a fitting choice for anyone eager to immerse themselves in the island’s lush landscapes.
