Planning your stay
Kitulgala is about two and a half hours from Colombo on the road to the hill country, so it fits well between Colombo and Nuwara Eliya or Kandy. White water rafting runs for most of the year, depending on the river level.
The eco retreat has four spacious modern bedrooms, listed as Deluxe Rooms, with views over the countryside and a traditional fireplace.

A 20 sqm double room that opens out to the pool, with a balcony looking towards the mountains. It has a king size bed, a fan, Wi-Fi, a TV with cable channels and a private garden area.
