Located in Udawalawe, 17 km from Udawalawe National Park, Green Paradise Cottage Udawalawa provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a restaurant. This 3-star hotel offers a shared kitchen and room service. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a kids' club and free WiFi throughout the property. If you are debating about where to stay near Udawalawe, no doubt, book here. They are recently opened so limited reviews but it’s a charming safari bungalow, the only one on the property, with a beautiful garden and thoughtful dining area for guests. Speaking of dining, this will be the best, most prolific food you’ve had in Sri Lanka. They really thoughtfully accommodated my vegetarian and gluten free diet with ease. There is a lovely river near the property you can explore and enjoy reading and relaxing between safari journeys and be well taken care of. They coordinated our safari, which was incredible! So many up close elephant encounters!, and helped us with transportation to them and away, making the whole experience care free and enjoyable. If you can enjoy a rustic safari cabin experience (well, not so rustic because there is a/c 😆) while being cared for by the sweetest family then look no further and enjoy Green Paradise.

Also, they prepared a wonderful dinner and a delicious breakfast.

The spacious villa with a terrace and mountain views has 2 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, a flat-screen TV, an equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and an oven, and 2 bathrooms with a bidet. Guests can enjoy a meal on an outdoor dining area while overlooking the pool views. The villa offers bed linen, towels and housekeeping service. We spent two nights at JML Villa Foresta with the family and honestly, it was the best stay we’ve ever had. From the moment I booked, the owner was in touch and super helpful. Even though he lives abroad, he made sure everything was taken care of and that we were happy. You don’t often see that level of communication and care. Getting to the villa is an adventure in itself. It sits right on top of a mountain, and the hotel provides both the off-road vehicle and the skilled driver you’ll need to get there. Once you’re at the top, the views are absolutely jaw-dropping and the weather shifts constantly, so the scenery feels alive and always changing. The villa is just beautiful. A mix of stone and wood that feels both rustic and luxurious. Everything was clean, cozy, and comfortable. Outside there’s a pool with an incredible view, and inside you’ve got a pool table, big flat-screen TV, and a sound system you can crank up without worrying about disturbing anyone, since the villa sits on its own massive 25+ acre estate. Total privacy. RSpecial thanks to Ravi, the host, who looked after us with such professionalism and warmth. He made sure we were comfortable at every moment. And the food? Honestly next level. The owner had told me they serve more than what you pay for, but I didn’t realize just how true that was until we sat down. Every meal was generous, beautifully presented, and delicious. The dishes just kept coming until we couldn’t eat another bite. If you’re after breathtaking views, complete privacy, amazing food, and a team that genuinely cares about your experience, this is the place. We loved every minute and would come back in a heartbeat.

The units provide views of the garden and come with a seating area, a washing machine, a fully equipped kitchen with an oven, and a private bathroom with bathrobes and a hair dryer. The units include a terrace featuring an outdoor dining area. At the guest house, each unit is equipped with bed linen and towels. Firstly, I would like to compliment the couple who will host you. Krishantha will be around majority of the time throughout your stay and will ensure you are having a pleasant stay. Her breakfasts are generous and delicious. They were really wonderful to us and another who had been scammed before arriving at their gate late in the day, desperate for a room. They welcomed us warmly and set up the rooms for us within 5 minutes. The rooms were spacious, very clean and nicely designed. We booked a safari with them and they offered us an incredible deal as they have their own jeep. Although we had a mix up of communication between us and them in regards to the safari (and we were very on edge after nearly being scammed twice the previous day) but all was peacefully resolved. I fully recommend their safari - this is not one of those reviews that I had to do, it is genuine. Our safari was incredible. As it was a slower pace than Yala (which I did not enjoy), we actually got to see so much wildlife! Our driver/guide was very informative and we learned so much from him. He made sure to stop whenever we saw something, instead of darting off to desperately find a single elephant being surrounded by a million trucks. It was thoroughly enjoyable and a real highlight of my trip.

This apartment includes 2 bedrooms, a living room and a TV, an equipped kitchen with a dining area, and 1 bathroom with a walk-in shower. For added convenience, the property can provide towels and linens for a supplement. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance. Michael is a person with a kind heart. It was great to meet him and to know a bit more about his life and the place. He made all the decoration himself and everything is very original. The place had everything we needed, it was quiet, clean and comfortable. Also very affordable. Michael can propose you some affordable safari tours if you ask him. Thank you for your hospitality

The cleanliness of the entire facility was impeccable, from the rooms to the common areas, ensuring a comfortable and hygienic stay. This commitment to cleanliness and care was evident throughout our visit and greatly appreciated. What truly set Nature Lovers apart was the hospitality of the staff and owners. Their genuine care, willingness to assist, and attention to detail went above and beyond, making our stay memorable and enjoyable. Additionally, the value for money was unparalleled. Considering the quality of the accommodation, food, and service, we found the pricing to be very reasonable, offering great value for an unforgettable experience.
