Located in Dambulla in the Matale District region, with Popham's Arboretum nearby, Kandalama Lodge provides accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking, as well as access to an indoor swimming pool.

From the moment we stepped inside the grounds of Kandalama Lodge, it felt relaxed and inviting. Each little villa was beautifully furnished with a comfortable verandah area to sit and a very spacious outdoor bathroom This was in a quiet area away from the hustle and bustle of Dambula and was perfect for visiting sites within the area, such as Dambula cave temples, Sigiriya, Pidurangala, Anuradhapura & Polonnaruwa They have a resident tuk tuk driver Amila whom will take you anywhere you would like to go safely and with helpful information and a good price Highly recommend

Asela and his wife are absolutely incredible. They helped me in every way possible. I had such a wonderful time during my short stay there. The location of the home stay is quite convenient if you plan to travel around by local buses. The place itself is super cosy and green. You feel like you are in the middle of a jungle. Would recommend and will also come back :)

Looking for a lodge?

Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.

    Amazing rooms, great breakfast, lovely hosts who help you with organising small trips to beautiful sightseeings like Sigirya, Pidurangala, the Cave Temple and National Parks as well. They make sure you don’t overpay, arrange a jeep for safari or a tuktuk or even drive you themselves. We had a lovely stay here that we would really recommend! It feels like home, they really take good care of you. Thanks!!

    We had a wonderful time in Sushanta's oasis of peace. He and his team work very professionally, are always friendly and conjure up fantastic dishes. Many thanks also to Amila, who spent two days showing us around the area. The cave temples, the vegetable market, Sigiriya and Pidurangala Rock, a great elephant safari with more than 25 elephants. Thanks to the whole team for the wonderful days!

    I can highly recommend this place! The host and it's family are very friendly, a nice room, very clean and the warm water and the wifi worked very well. A walking distance to the cave temples. Also, the host could arrange very uncomplecatedly a Jeep Safari Tour to the Eco National Park for the next morning where I could see the elephants. It was the best homestay I had here in Sri Lanka! Thank you very much!

    Kandalama lodge is really a beautiful place. The modern design is perfectly mixed with the Sri Lankan wood style, which contribute to creating a peaceful and authentic atmosphere. There are only 5 chalets, one with its own pool, so the swimming pool area is really a place to relax. The staff is careful and discrete. The food is fresh and delicious, the best rice & curry we had in all the 10 days trip, I sincerely recommend to try it!

    Perfect place to relax at the end of the day… or to spend the entire day! Only a handful of lodges and beautifully styled. Very clean inside the lodges and around the pool/garden. Loved the open air bathroom.

    A small number of beautiful lodges in beautiful green surroundings. Everything fits together perfectly and is of good quality. Very friendly and helpful owner and staff. The food is more expensive than outside but it is simply fantastic. We had one of the best vegetarian curry selection cooked after our preferences. The breakfast is also really good.
