Tucked deep within 98 acres of private rainforest in Kalawana, Kurunduketiya isn’t just a place—it’s an experience. The kind that smells like wild cinnamon, sounds like birdsong, and feels like you’ve dropped off the map in the most luxurious way possible.
Perched on a lush hillside, the resort’s two modern villas blend effortlessly into the jungle canopy. Each one features two en-suite bedrooms, floor-to-ceiling views, and private terraces that overlook a symphony of green. Wake up to mist drifting over the treetops, take your morning coffee with the monkeys, and let the quiet rhythm of the rainforest reset your senses.
Between dips in your private pool and slow lunches made to order by your in-house chef, you can venture out on forest hikes, river swims, or bike rides through the nearby Sinharaja Reserve. Or you can simply stay put, read something poetic, and listen to the rain hit the leaves.
Kurunduketiya is for the eco-seekers, the luxury minimalists, and the ones who know that sometimes, the best soundtrack is silence.
