This unbelievable estate offers very nice lodges located on the edge of jungle. We felt really connected with the nature. The hosts are very nice and helpful, they provided us everything we asked. They offer guided tours, hiking, yoga and more, so you won’t be bored! We have visited little spice factory, which is part of the property, and the very friendly guide told us everything about spices and other plants that grows in the area. Therefore it was very educational experience. And we bought spices that were grown there for good prices. Furthermore, we have two yoga classes in the outstanding shala in the forest. The owners are such nice people and it was our best stay in Sri Lanka. We highly recommend this place, especially to the nature lovers.

What can I say about Polwatha eco lodges other than we came back again as we love it so much. We were glad to find that in the two years under corona restrictions, it hadn’t changed at all and all the staff were back in position including Charles who is an incredible host and guide, where nothing is too much trouble. Set up high in the jungle on the outskirts of Digana, from the moment you step into their jeep to get up the steep hill track to reach the property, you leave your cares behind. Surrounded by small organic spice farms, they have a community drying shed and the spices are dried and prepared by local villagers, producing the freshest spices you can get. This place is truly one of our favorite places in all of Sri Lanka and one we can’t recommend highly enough.

Polwaththa is very special place, especially if you look for something more than typical tourist experience. The owners are genuine people who care about sustainability and fair trade, having little spice factory and organic gardens. I really enjoyed yoga classes with Freya, who gently guides you with love and care. Sometimes monkeys join you in yoga shala, but in a decent distance :-) Had lots of fun in cooking class and generally the food is amazing. If you search for a place with soul, where you can relax in the silence or join various nature activities, you have just found it.

The place itself is amazing: secluded and peaceful, set in beautiful surroundings, with true love to nature and local community. Such a serene ambience. Lovely area with board games. Very hospitable owners and staff. Worth staying here to relax, recharge your batteries and enjoy nature.

Most of hikes (not all of them though) include road transfer so you have to get back to a very busy road to reach a path. The price ~$14-16 pp for a local hike is not reasonable. To us as a family of four it didn’t make sense to pay that much (even with possible discount) given that part of the trip had to be done by tuk-tuk. The Wi-Fi in the public area was almost nonexistent.

Super nice and friendly staff, nice room, great Yoga shala! If you go there, definitely check out the spice factory and the little store there.

Quite pricy, for us it didn‘t seem obvious that all the activities incl. Yoga cost extra.

Very memorable experience fully immersed in the jungle! The staff were extremely friendly and attentive and the dinner and breakfast were great.

Rooms were noisy given the rain, but to be expected living in jungle!

In the nature and with the nature! They do incredible work with the local community. The food was good, they always offered me gluten-free options. And the cabin was super-clean.

This is a place where you feel part of a community that cares for each other and for the planet. What an amazing experience. Eco- tourism at its best.

Nothing. It is clean and comfortable, however, do not expect 5 star luxury as that would not be compatible with its philosophy of treading lightly on the Earth.
