Kadolana Eco Village  

On the edge of the Madu River in Balapitiya, between Ahungalle and Hikkaduwa and under an hour from Colombo via the Southern Expressway. Steps from Ariyapala Mask Museum and Ambalangoda Beach, and close to Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery, the Natural Moonstone Mine and Galle Fort. A boutique riverfront eco village perfect for exploring coastal Sri Lanka.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property to keep you connected.

An on-site restaurant with limited room service and a casual BBQ area for self-cooked meals. Nearby fishing villages and cinnamon plantations make it easy to seek out authentic coastal Sri Lankan flavors.
