Arangala Forest Lodge

The views was so wonderful and we also saw the sinrise which was so beautiful and also a great service and a great hospitality was given to us. Everybody here was so kind and looking forward to come to this wonderful looking place once again. One of the most beautiful experiences to get in sri lanka...

Our stay at Arangala Forest Lodge was one of the most memorable moments from our vacation. The staff was so accommodating and was ready to help us with absolutely anything. The food here is soo lovely and we were lucky to experience a special treat: Manioc coupled with Pork Curry and Toddy in the afternoon followed by a dip in their natural pool. The night ended with a BBQ and Bonfire coutersey of the staff. The most stunning feature of Arangala Forest Lodge definitely has to be their tented cabanas. You'll be surrounded by nature and greenery and this will be a lovely experience regardless of whether you travel with family and friends or are in for a couples treat or solo trip. 10/10 experience!!!

The experience is amazing and the staff is very friendly and supportive specially Akila Kulathunga who always ensured that we are satisfied and always went beyond expectations. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to come and have fun in a peaceful and a quiet environment with a good service in every aspect.

What an absolute find. This place is unreal, the short, yet sharp climb off from the main road, winding up the hill into the forest was interesting and to find such a beautiful reception, opening up the views far and wide really are exceptional. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive and nothing is ever too much trouble. They have the wild pool to the rear of the property up some steps that is well worth a visit, with the main Infinity pool taking in the views of the mountains surrounding and encapsulating this extraordinary place. We stayed in one of their cabins, king superior rooms, (appeared on our booking as deluxe King, th y have deluxe rooms that are actually double rooms on a main block, hidden by trees but with amazing views). The cabin is a short walk up the hill on well lit and well laid concrete or paving’s and there’s a buggy option from the reception, definitely worth it with bags. We walked mainly in between as the monkeys come and visit and the sounds of the birds, monkeys and frogs are quite something. We booked on BB but there is a HB fixed menu option you can pay on the day and chose whether you wish to have that or their ala crate menu. Restaurant staff incredibly helpful and speak good English. There were two weddings whilst we stayed and the team were great to tell us of traditions and the first wedding, we were invited to join by the couple as they were so proud to have people enjoy their day. Such a great experience. We also visited the birds and fed Sun Conure’s parrots, the keeper seemed genuinely caring to these birds and it was endearing. Fabulous place, good food, stunning views and would definitely recommend.

The stay was excellent. The food was excellent. If you are nature lover this is great place to stay.we had great view of near by mountains surrounded with mist which was picturesque.there was natural waterfall nearby and sounds of forest was very much calming. The chef jagath and f and b manager champika was extremely supportive as I had some digestive issue and helped to get suitable dishes . reception staff was also very kind and supportive. We wouldn't think twice to select the place when visiting dambulla again

Lovely place in the middle of nature. Good for families, couples. They have cabanas that suite families. And cabanas are connected by a Buggy ride. Have bird park, a natural pool, swimming pool. Riched with scenic views and delicious food. Nice relaxing experience.
