Madulkelle Tea and Eco Lodge

B Corp
Contact us

Madulkelle Tea and Eco Lodge is a fabulous property standing proud on a hillside, surrounded by a lush tea plantation with views of the Knuckles Mountain Range. Set in 18 unique tented lodges and one honeymoon suite, Madulkelle Tea and Eco Lodge is ‘glamping’ at its best.

With top-class service, great food, a pool with a view and an excellent range of activities for all ages, this is a hidden gem close to the city of Kandy.

Why we like Madulkelle Tea and Eco Lodge

Watching the sunrise over the Knuckles Mountain Range from your tent is a very special moment. We also love their commitment to solar power, no-plastic and eco-friendly toiletries.

Facilities

The 18 tented lodges are spacious and cosy, while the honeymoon suite offers a little more space in a traditionally built timber bungalow. The former plantation house now serves as the reception, lounge and restaurant area. The property is perfect for groups of friends or families. There is also a fabulous, large swimming pool with views over the valleys below. All meals are provided here including a wonderful high tea.

Activities

  • Enjoy a range of local nature walks, especially to the little World’s end.
  • Bird watching.
  • Zip lining.
  • Yoga and meditation.
  • Cooking lessons.
  • Open-air spa offering massage.
