Polwaththa Eco-Lodges

Loved this 4-day yoga retreat in the Sri Lankan jungle. Back to basics ecolodges were comfy and authentic, bugs and all! Morning & sunset yogas with Jenny were marvelous and activities (incl.cooking, tree planting, spice factory visit and hike & waterfall swim) were well organised and fun. I'd recommend to coordinate the last mile transfer to the lodges a bit better and earlier. Thank you!

A very authentic jungle experience! People need to visit this place with an open mind. You are immersing yourself in the jungle and there will be bugs and life here is a little more difficult than most of us are used to. The staff were helpful were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Charles was a fantastic host! Our bags were transported to and from our rooms. They even sorted our laundry. The food was basic but very good. We enjoyed the yoga. The spice factory was fascinating. It was lovely to sit and watch the monkeys enjoying the trees. Everything was good value.

I had a wonderful time at this place. They have a great yoga retreat program. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, the food is delicious, and the cabins are cozy and in the middle of the forest. It is a perfect place to connect with Sri Lankan nature and local culture. Beside of that, everything is sustainable and community made. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing time in the homestay of Chandi and her husband. She was very sweet and gave us a nice cooking workshop! Our guide Ramesh knows a lot about the culture and village, is very friendly and speaks good english!

Great experience, the 4 day retreat was over before i realised. Amazing location up in the mountains, very cool to learn about the reforestation program. Staff was friendly and helpful. Yoga classes had a good variation and the teacher took time for everybody to give personal adjustments. Also food was amazing.

We loved our stay at the Polwaththa Eco Lodge. The staff and owner are very friendly and engaged in forest restoration. We attended for the yoga retreat, and our instructor was good. At the cocking class we made the best food we have had in Sri Lanka so far. We enjoyed the spice factory and the hike to the waterfall. We highly recommend going if you want a local experience with some nice yoga classes:) Kind regards, Regine and Kaja

We really enjoyed our stay at Polwaththa, such a personal experience. The cooking class was amazing, we made a really nice hike where we learned so many things of the local fruits, vegetables and spices. The ecolodge is in a really peaceful environment and the food was amazing!

An amazing place and experience . Genuine people who want to show you the beauty of Sri Lanka . We did the walk to the waterfall where we swam and Charles showed us all the different plants ( cocoa , nutmeg , coffee , pepper etc ) and animals along the way . It was great . We also did the cooking course which we all really enjoyed both doing and tasting. The lady who led this was delightful and encouraged us all to join in teaching us to use different equipment and spices . I would definitely recommend . Dinner and breakfast were also delicious . Overall a brilliant place to stay. Thanks to everyone who made our visit so so good .
