    Es gibt nur eine Cabana, die auch sehr neu ist. Alles ist sehr sauber und sehr schön eingerichtet. Besitzer war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Man hat eine super schöne Aussicht und ist für sich alleine.

Welcome to Cabin Alpha, where nature meets creativity! Nestled in the scenic hills of Bandarawela, our unique A-frame cabin offers a peaceful escape surrounded by greenery, fresh mountain air, and the gentle sound of a nearby bamboo tree cover. The highlight? Sri Lanka’s first and only giant outdoor chessboard garden — perfect for memorable photos, outdoor dining, or simply relaxing with a cup of tea. Cabin Alpha promises a stay filled with comfort, charm, and unforgettable moments.
Hello, I’m Shamran Simply Sam I am the proud host of Cabin Alpha. I started this as a simple dream to build a small A-frame cabin. It has now become a peaceful retreat where guests can slow down, connect with nature, and create memories. Travel should be about more than just staying somewhere; it should be about the moments you take back with you. That’s why Cabin Alpha is designed with thoughtful touches — from the giant chessboard garden to the cosy interiors — to make your stay truly special. As your host, I’m here to help with anything from arranging pick-up to BBQ nights to sharing local tips on hidden trails, tea plantations, and the best hidden experiences in Bandarawela, Haputale and Ella. I look forward to welcoming you to Cabin Alpha
