We stayed here because we wanted to do a safari in Yala park. The place is really nice, a real retreat, surrounded by nature. They cooked for us - delicious dinner and they prepared a snack for the safari, which the host organised for us. Our driver Bati did an amazing job at spotting animals, he was super knowledgeable and friendly. We really enjoyed the time here.

Anne has created an oasis of calm and civilisation opposite a large lake. Her restaurant allows the breezes and the overhead fans to cool you as eat. There is a varied and delicious menu - I recommend the fusion rice. The room was comfortable and luxurious with a private patio for sitting and contemplating the parade of domestic and wildlife on the shores of the lake. Amal proved to be a knowledgeable and patient naturalist pointing out a plethora of different birds, reptiles and we even saw a baby elephant.

A retreat in every sense for all the senses. Your private waterfall bathing rock. The wonderful fresh food and banana’s from own garden. 🙏

Amazing location at the border of the Yala park. It’s quite incredible Dulaj and his team managed to build such luxurious bungalows in the middle of the jungle! You sleep with wildlife sounds surrounding you. Being super local they have great relationships with safari guides, Nalinda was a top animal spotter

+ familiar feeling with host Michael and his son + perfect cool sleep without mosquitos + pets (dog, cat) and wild animals around the house (dandulena, monkeys, birds) + very good food: fresh, local, organic, homemade + wonderful hike to the highest mountain in the range with authentic village vibes and djungel feeling

We had a great time at Bindu's place, discovering secret waterfalls, exploring the local village and enjoying a beer round the campfire. He's a great guide, and was also happy to drive us to our next destination. The home-cooked meals were delicious as well!

A fantastic set up not just encouraging but utilising sustainable procedure whenever possible. The local village are very much an active part of the project actively employed across all areas of the business from hospitality to farming to upkeep of the property. The lodges were great offering functional luxury. I loved the solar powered out door shower.

Pure magic at Sahana retreat. Peace and quiet and animals. Including lots of birds. Excellent food, romantic atmosphere. Lovely campfire. Nice lighting (which means it is not bright white lights). Games, hammocks. Just the best place in Sri Lanka to stay for a few days. Lovely river for a swim.

Unique luxury lodge immersed in beautiful nature. A getaway to relax and enjoy the lake safari as well as other exclusive activities in the jungle. Very good food, excellent service.

Staff were super attentive and quickly fixed an AC issue (twigs got stuck apparently). The villas are a good size, and the location is perfect for easy access to the safari.
