Uncommon Hotels in Sri Lanka: Bliss Begins Where the Road Ends
Hidden deep within a nature reserve, with the final leg of the journey accessible only on foot via a short, fully supported and guided walk, Ahaspokuna Glamping Lodge redefines what it means to escape.
This is not just a place to stay — it's a place to truly live in nature. With no road access, no crowds, and no interruptions, Ahaspokuna stands out as one of the most uncommon hotels in Sri Lanka, blending luxury, remoteness, and raw wilderness into one unforgettable experience
From the moment you begin your short trek into camp, you're stepping into a different rhythm — one ruled by birdsong, elephants, and starry skies.
What Makes Ahaspokuna One of the Most Unique Places to Stay in Sri Lanka?
If you're looking for a stay that’s far from ordinary, Ahaspokuna delivers a truly rare and unforgettable experience. Explore the features below to see why we are considered one of the most unique hotels in Sri Lanka.
Your Private Wild Bath in the Middle of the Forest
Each luxury suite-tent includes its own open-air Wild Bath — a deep granite bush bathtub overlooking the grasslands or jungle. Whether you're soaking under moonlight or midday sun, this is glamping Sri Lanka at its most indulgent.
Sleep Beneath the Stars in Your Personal Star Bed
Outside every suite is a raised Star Bed deck, perfect for watching the skies or spending the night outdoors in complete comfort. Few unique hotels in Sri Lanka offer the chance to fall asleep surrounded by wilderness and silence — except for the sounds of the night.
Bushwalks, Not Jeep Safaris
Here, the wilderness is explored on foot. Walk ancient elephant trails with expert naturalists and bushmen, uncover historical ruins, dip in waterfall pools, and track the signs of leopards, elephants, and rare birds. Unlike jeep safaris, you may not always see the animals — but you will often smell, hear, and feel their presence nearby. While we don’t guarantee wildlife sightings, we do guarantee the thrill of the chase, the raw adventure, and the unforgettable excitement. It’s one of the most immersive wildlife experiences in the country — and a signature of glamping in Sri Lanka. This is yet another reason why Ahaspokuna is a must-stay, truly unique place in Sri Lanka.
A Wild Stay with Creature Comforts
Despite being hidden deep within a forest, Ahaspokuna offers fine dining, wine, all-inclusive hospitality, and warm, attentive service. Whether you choose to indulge in comfort or seek out adventure, both are equally possible here. Privacy, peace, and barefoot luxury blend seamlessly — making Ahaspokuna one of the most uncommon hotels in Sri Lanka.
A Place Where Stories Live in the Land
The ground beneath Ahaspokuna whispers ancient tales — from prehistoric cave dwellers known as the Balangoda Man, to the hidden footpaths of the 1818 Uva Rebellion. Every walk here is a journey through nature and history alike.
