Slanting eyes of a leopard, golden rays bouncing off the peacocks’ blue plumage, intricate stone carvings barely visible in the undergrowth, laughter mixing with the sound of the waterways…cameras, note books, tents and sleeping mats…family holidays that revolved around my father’s passion for this land, its wildness and its people. Photography, conservation and activism were the products of his endless travel and exploration in the backwoods of Sri Lanka. And along with the love for this island we inherited a partiality towards a particular type of refuge.
The dreams turned to reality as I decided to search for beautiful remote places in different natural and historical settings and build small lodges for my family and friends to enjoy. It did not take long for the chain of totally Sri Lankan owned and operated Back of Beyond eco lodges to develop into highly personalized, environmentally sensitive wilderness resorts.
You find us in Sigiriya, Anuradhapura, Tangalle, Yala NP and Negombo.
We welcome you to the Back of Beyond experience - handpicked locations and staff, homely comforts of personal care and flexibility, seclusion, warmth and wilderness.
Relax & enjoy nature!
Please note that a deposit of 30% will be charged from the credit card (Visa or Mastercard) upon booking. The balance has to be settled at the lodge in cash (USD or Sri Lankan Rupees), as the property does not accept card payment.
Please note that driver's accommodation is available for USD 10 per night.
