+This is a wonderful place! We spent two days here, both before and after our safari, and absolutely loved it. The grounds are beautifully designed, cosy and very private. On our first evening, we had a BBQ dinner served in the garden under the lights. It was incredibly romantic and delicious! The food deserves a special mention. The restaurant-style presentation and table setting were excellent, and everything tasted amazing. The breakfast was generous, delicious and included freshly squeezed juice. There are also some wonderful animals around the property: a crocodile, baby owls, peacocks, a monitor lizard and a lovely dog. You already start feeling immersed in the safari experience just by staying here! The owner personally sees his guests off at 5 AM before their safari, which is such a thoughtful touch. One of the staff members, Chamidu, also shared lots of interesting information with us. Thank you so much for your warm hospitality. We wish your wonderful place every success and prosperity! බොහොම ස්තුතියි! ❤️

“Perfect eco stay near Yala”
+Two nights at Ranakeliya Eco Lodge and everything was perfect. The staff were welcoming and caring, and they arranged our Yala safari for us. Breakfast was delicious, and the location is lovely, calm and surrounded by nature. Highly recommended!

“Idyllic lodge that has everything covered.”
+Truly spectacular in every sense. 1. The staff were so lovely. Always on hand to help with a big smile. So incredibly warm. 2. The food was exceptional. The best we had in Sri Lanka, in a lovely environment out on the grass in front of the fire pit. 3. The room was incredible. Big glass exterior, huge comfortable bed, very tasteful design, plunge pool and decking with a view. We did a morning safari and were lucky enough to see leopards, sloth bears, elephants! Overall our stay in Ranakeliya was probably the highlight of our Sri Lanka trip. Perfect!

“Absolutely amazing”
+My favourite place I have stayed in Sri Lanka, the perfect balance of comfortability luxury and nature. We were greater with drinks and cool towels which set the tone for our amazing stay, the staff were absolutely incredible, so kind and catered for our every need, they could not have done any more for us they were genuinely so amazing. Not only tho the food was some of the best we have had in Sri Lanka, the soul was probably the nicest soup I have ever eaten and the creme brulee was incredible as well
