This week, The Times are once again heralding all the best aspects of tourism in Sri Lanka.

As brilliantly written by Christina Lamb, “I had already spent a week in Sri Lanka and was smitten. I don’t think I have ever been to a friendlier country or one of such lush greenery and mouthwatering food.”

The article particularly highlights how easy it is to access the wildlife. In our experience, a trip to Yala or Udawalawe National Park is a fantastic part of any family holiday. When staying at MG, we can arrange a day trip to either of the parks.

Anula, who lives in the local village, has carefully attended the laundry at Meda Gedara for many years.

She enjoys weaving, sewing and gardening, when she is not busy looking after her 5 children and 14 grandchildren!

The split level pool is the hub of chaos and calm: the crazy water slide shoots into the lower pool keeping the adrenalin pumping and the kids (and adults) entertained all day.

Meanwhile, the pool deck with its glorious new parasols is the place for sunbathing, &/or family fun and endless chats with tea and cake or sundowners and canapés.

Sri Lanka has spectacularly vibrant colours, geometric patterns, pictorial murals and story telling statues.

Our local temple is the best place to immerse yourself in the depths of this culture: murals, patterns, flowers, petals, statues, dresses and blessed creations are everywhere, as are the beaming smiles of the local people of Dikwella.

Manju, Manju, Manjuuuuu has been with us since the very early days.

He has dutifully looked after our guests, serving all their mouthwatering meals and turning his hand to whatever needs attending.

Married with 2 adorable daughters he is a devout family man who lives really close, and he has a host of interesting local places to visit including his favourite hidden beaches to recommend to guests.

Indeed it was Manju who showed me the best beach to swim with turtles, including ‘Lily’ the turtle who returns frequently to one particular small bay.

Thank you Manju! ❤️

Go exploring on bikes and reap the peaceful benefits of travelling without motor.

Trickle through the backwaters of Sri Lanka following a guide, peddling through the paddy fields, past peacocks calling, watching the plentiful egrets gamefully pecking tics off lazing buffalo, see the farmers harvesting rice, prehistoric monitor lizards scuttling out of sight, children coming home from school (still immaculate in their white uniforms) and the smell of a thousand spices drifting from kitchen windows. This experience is golden.

These photos were taken the day we cycled to the Mulkirigala Rock Temple, where we were blessed by the monks before ascending nearly 700ft to the top of this natural rock, appreciating the 300 year old painted caves on the way up.

There are plenty of other routes to explore every time you return to MG!

Thank you Alex and all your team at Idle Bikes for always delivering great bikes and guides, we love working with you to make exploring more fun.

RED BULL TUK TUK TOURNAMENT HERE WE COME, bring on the challenge.

Over 14 days, 80 teams from all over the world will race around every corner of Sri Lanka, exploring the depths of country’s history, climbing to the peaks, washing elephants, saving turtles and picking the finest tea.

Team Meda Gedara will be ready, set, go on October 20th solving clues and delving into the adventures that Red Bull have created for the challenge this year.

To say we’re excited is an understatement! Some people (eg my husband Jeremy) think we’re mad, but there’s no better way to really get to know a culture than living it by basic means and pottering through the paddy fields in a 2 stroke engine!!

Stay tuned as we pimp up our Tuk and prep our team, we’ll keep you posted on the developments as they unravel.

The Bedrooms: ‘Kandy’ is our master suite in the middle of the house.

The view from the bed looks straight down through the jungle canopy, over the gardens and out to the rolling waves of the Indian ocean.

With double width windows, the light floods in on the touches of bright orange, the Rocket St George tiger lampshades are a particular favourite of mine.

The big old armchair is so comfortable, careful not to put your feet up else you’ll fall asleep and miss all the fun!

Chef Sudantha: What a legend - his reputation is as widespread as his smile!

Sudantha was the star chef of a well known cafe in Galle Fort, Poonie’s Kitchen, and came to MG as a temporary loan over Christmas in 2021. The synergy between the MG team was so strong that he wanted to stay, we were so blessed, MG was complete! His menus take our guests on a gastronomic journey around the world…. with a special nod to Ottelenghi’s Middle Eastern delights and Jeremy’s favourite is his lemongrass infused roast chicken with crunchy roasties.

His repertoire has recently been further boosted as Jay Halford, our new Executive Chef, came to work with our team to develop our menus; special attention was given to extending the vegan and vegetarian menus as well as incredible new brunch ideas.

Check out the new menus on our website with even more updates on the way:

Alms Giving: For Buddhists in Sri Lanka it is common practice to ‘Give Alms’, which the term given when you donate food to the local monks. This is done as a mark of support & respect for the learnings and teachings the monks do for the Buddhist religion; spiritually this act teaches us to give and let-go.

At MG we give alms to a local temple where they have elderly and disabled monks who need particular care. The monks are always delighted to see guests of MG and welcome them with a blessing ceremony and chanting prayers.

The spectacular Kandayan dancers will come and entertain you here in the garden at MG.

Arriving in their traditional, magnificent costumes, they’ll dance, drum, twirl and backflip and then maybe you can join in with the fun.

All this before you even sit down to dinner. It’s just another way to celebrate special occasions at MG.

One of our favourite morning experiences is punting peacefully around this stunning brackish lagoon. Drifting through the waterways and past the grazing buffalo submerged and cool in the clear waters, surrounded by lilies and lotus flowers.

We love getting off the raft and climbing up ‘Duck Rock' to enjoy the spectacular view and to watch the birds flying in to feed on the abundance of biodiversity.
This serene and gentle adventure can be easily arranged with our friend Gayan at Kalametiya Birds.

A little leaf through the visitors books uncovers all of our very happy guests and the things they loved the most. Our first visitors book (an opening gift from my dear late mum who was the first guest) is very nearly full and has made me flick back through and read some of the wonderful comments.

Of all of the experiences and wonders that we offer, it is our staff team that are complimented the most. They are the beating heart of MG, the SOUL.

Seeing the villa as it is today, it’s incredible to think that just 10 short years ago it was just a patch of land and a dream!

From day long zoom meetings to learning the average wind speed on the property, it has taken so much blood, sweat and tears to bring Meda Gedara to life. You can read our story in our latest blog, use the link below to learn more:

IT’S A WELLNESS WRAP.

Now we’ve all returned from a couple of weeks of diving into wellness at Meda Gedara, I really want to shout about the difference I can feel to my own personal positivity. My mind has been cleared of blockages, my body has been moved to new lengths and my heart has been filled with the love from our groups. These Wellness Weeks have exceeded all expectations. Hallelujah, they really do work!

Sri Lanka is predominantly Buddhist but other religions peacefully co-exist.

Hindu weddings are fabulously colourful and overload the senses with instruments, noise, smoke, flowers and loud drums. A recent trip to a Hindu temple found me in the midst of the cacophony of culture.

I wish the newly weds a lifetime of happiness.

National Independance Day: Sri Lanka celebrates their political independence from British Rule. 🇱🇰

Since 1948 they have celebrated with a flag hoisting ceremony; there are also singing and performances showcasing national unity and culture. Religious observances are also made in many places of worship, wishing for peace and prosperity for the country and people. The national media also promotes ideas like bravery, confidence, dedication, national unity, patriotism, nationalism, peace, national responsibility and awareness of national history in the minds of people.

The beautiful home to our MG. ❤️
