Its location is ideal for exploring the region’s renowned wildlife sanctuaries, including Bundala National Park, Udawalawe National Park, and Yala National Park. Immersed in nature, the estate is frequented by shy monitor lizards, playful monkeys, and a rich variety of birdlife, accompanied by a soothing soundtrack of rustling palm fronds, rolling waves, and the occasional call of peacocks. While the setting feels blissfully remote, it remains close to colorful local villages nestled among rice paddies and fragrant cinnamon plantations.
