Tekanda Lodge
The main lodge houses four rooms, all set around a traditional courtyard and featuring private verandas with views of the surrounding landscape. The look mixes colonial charm with safari chic: beds draped with breezy white mosquito netting, handmade wooden furniture, antique-looking writing desks, and light-flooded bathrooms, two of which come with freestanding tubs. A pair of cabanas, set slightly apart from the lodge, are especially striking, with high, vaulting wood-beamed ceilings, four-poster beds, and lounge space with built-in daybeds.
Served on the lodge’s main deck or in rooms on request is a lavish breakfast with tropical fruits and Sri Lankan dishes. Most guests are out exploring during the day, but a gorgeous infinity pool, reflecting the silhouette of palm trees and bordered by a spacious stone deck, is a perfect place to cool off afterward. Later, banana leaf–wrapped fish and other local specialties are prepared for a communal-style open-air dinner, and drinks — many incorporating tea and other ingredients grown on the grounds — flow freely under the stars.
