An interesting stay for people who are interested in wildlife, and very different from the usual hotel.

Very friendly and welcoming team who are undertaking an interesting ecological project. Sandi was a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide to all the wildlife. John and Errol provided us with great tasty food…both Sri Lankan and Western. Our main purpose was to birdwatch and chill out and we did so for the two days that we stayed. A trip to the nearby wildlife park could be arranged but we were quite happy where we were.

Best Resort in Sri Lanka

I wish I could give more Stars. What a fantastic place this is. Nothing was to much. The food was really delicious and we felt so welcome. This is dat ooit the best place we stayed in Sri Lanka. You can also book the safari for the wildpark with them. Sandy came with us and we enjoyed every minute of it. In the morning they took us to the mountain to see the birds in the area. Thank you guys for a wonderful stay

Fantastic and interesting experience!

Simply WOW! What an experience. We were just looking for an overnight stay close to Wasgamuwa - and got so much more! This is a truly educational and inspirational place! Errol & Sandy are fantastic and so passionate. The premis of the Web of Life is all about preserving & respecting the environment, our ecosystem and supporting the local community. A few hints & tips / things to be aware of - 1. This is a hotel, secondarily to its purpose of conservation - extremely comfortable, great pool and very well looked after, but you are very close to the wildlife! 2. If you want to visit Wasgamuwa National Pafk, do it with Errol & Sandy - they are experts in the area and can literally smell & hear the animals before you see them! Any other commercial tour will be lacking in comparison. 3. You will get Errol’s WhatsApp number when you book accommodation & start planning with him directly. We nearly missed out as we had booked an early morning tour, independently, but the guys ensured we didn’t miss out & supported us in visiting at prime time - late afternoon etc. 4. The food is wonderful - but again, not hotel a la carte choices - cooked fresh, and delicious including one of the best Sri Lankan curries we ate all trip. This really was a highlight of the two week holiday, discovered through luck!

A stay like no other!

Have never stayed somewhere where the moment you arrived you felt like friends! Errol and Sandi were so welcoming and friendly. A wealth of knowledge on wildlife, and what they’re doing here is incredible, both for the wildlife and the people. The location is stunning, and I don’t think l will ever swim in a pool so idyllic ever again.

A highlight of our travels through Sri Lanka!

All the staff were fantastic throughout our stay. Erol and Sandi were particularly brilliant with their knowledge of the wildlife and with their engagement with the local community. The work they are doing is aspirational! It was a highlight of our time in Sri Lanka.

The perfect location for wildlife lovers wanting a taste of genuine Sri Lanka.

Web of Life is a very special place. A science research base available to stay at for wildlife enthusiasts. The birdsong and views are stunning and Sanda and then team were exceptional and helpful guiding us on walks and explaining the rich flora and fauna to us. Breakfast and dinner were of a high standard. Highly recommended. Two nights was not enough.

We absolutely loved staying here. Errol and his staff were so incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the local wildlife. This is definitely a place to stay if you are interested in conservation, bird life and natural habitats. We booked a safari to Wasgamuwa National Park through Web of Life, and had the most fantastic time. Errol, Saratha, and Sandy accompanied us on the trip, and were fantastic guides. We had a beautiful dinner and breakfast all prepared using ingredients from the local area. Even though it was only a short stay, we had the best time and admire everything Errol and his team are doing for the local environment and community.

This was fantastic! At Web of Life, we had the most wonderful time! The resort is situated in an incredible spot, surrounded by nature, with a stunning view of a lake, and close to a hill offering a 360-degree view of the Wasgamuwa National Park and the Knuckles Mountain area. We stayed there for three nights and saw more wildlife than ever before: a huge variety of birds right outside our room, wild elephants just 10 minutes away, as well as peacocks, wild hens, and squirrels roaming through the resort. What we especially appreciated was the staff’s extensive knowledge of nature and their enthusiasm for protecting wildlife. Everyone was so warm-hearted and generous, and the food was absolutely delicious! We would love to visit again, perhaps for a longer trip next time!

A relaxing stay with access to a lot of local knowledge.

The marginally less than 24 hour stay at the web of life resort was an engagement with some people committed to the landscape and community of this exceptionally special part of Sri Lanka. The meals provided were very good and made mostly from locally grown ingredients. The location overlooking the Lake of the dining room and lounge are excellent. The staff and management went out of there way to make sure our party were well looked after and were kept informed. The trip into the Wasgomuwa National Park was smoothly arranged with a knowledgeable guide and the best efforts made to show off its varied landscapes and fauna. Within the hotel, The verandah outside the bedrooms were a great place to relax looking over the paddy fields and lake. The construction of the hotel was interesting in the way modern materials were mixed with locally available and sustainable ones.

We had an amazing stay at Web of Life. The accommodation was fantastic, and the owner's hospitality was outstanding. The serene atmosphere, surrounded by nature, provided a peaceful escape. 360° viewpoint was just by the corner and you could see the lake and surrounding landscape. Perfect for a morning walk. The constant melody of birds added to the overall tranquility. Errol, the owner, proved to be an exceptional host, offering insightful conversations about Sri Lankan life. Spending time with him was enriching, and his knowledge added depth to the experience. The accomodation is eco-friendly haven that goes beyond with its commitment to sustainability. Everything here is organic, making it a perfect retreat for those who care about the planet. The seamless blend of comfort and environmental consciousness makes it an ideal choice for mindful travelers seeking an eco-conscious experience. A truly remarkable stay that combined cultural immersion and a memorable safari adventure. Highly recommended for a nature-filled retreat.
