Back of Beyond - Experience the Beauty & Charm of Rural Sri Lanka.
Eco-Lodges in : Sigiriya | Anuradhapura | Negombo | Kandy | Tangalle | Yala
Relax & Enjoy Nature! Exploring little known places hidden in the back of beyond on our beautiful island has been a way of life for us since childhood. We opened our first Back of Beyond lodge in 2008 and today, we share with our guests six handpicked organic living spaces in Sigiriya, Anuradhapura, Tangalle, Yala and Ne
gombo. Our different retreats are in outstanding secluded natural locations close to jungles, streams, reservoirs, beaches and lagoons - ideally with some evidence of our ancient history. We like to share what we enjoy with our guests - trekking, cycling, swimming, yoga, wildlife, bird watching, nature trails, farming, exploring ancient sites, photography…and of course, just being! We aim to create a feeling of peace and serenity - with more than the basic comforts, but always touching gently (with a low-impact on the natural and socio-cultural environment). Welcome to the Back of Beyond experience - Relax and enjoy nature!
