“Beautiful garden oasis and pool, exceptional value for money.”
This is a beautiful place to stay for a visit to Udawalawe NP. The rooms are big and very clean, the bed is very comfortable and the bathroom is great with a lovely shower. The gardens are really beautiful and the pool is so big and refreshing after a safari. The food was delicious, staff were super helpful - everything was 10 ⭐️

“5-star, would stay again. And safari was incredible, too!”
This was my last stop before flying home and I am so glad I went! The hotel is gorgeous. My dinner was fantastic and my table directly overlooked the National Park, seeing a Serval on my first night. The next morning I went on the safari - the hotel has its own jeep and tour guide, so it was unbelievably easy. (Just what you want at 6am!) A breakfast was packed for me and was perfect. (Fresh fruit included - yum!) Staff were lovely and helped with my heavy bags, which I appreciated as I had a bad shoulder. The pool was great, too. Room had air conditioning and a fan - and was huge! And they sorted my airport transfer for me on my last morning!

“Great value for money stay close to Udawalawe and with amazing staff and food”
Eliyanth lodge is situated beautiful with its own garden and swimming pool, and close to Udawalawe national park. The room was comfortable and spacious. We booked the safari tours with them which was very easy and well arranged. Special thanks to our driver and guide Shantha Kumara who was very knowledgeable and made a sincere effort to give us the best safari experience. The staff at the Eliyanth itself was also great, all being very helpful and thoughtful. Lastly the food was amazing. We would definitely recommend the place, with great value money.

“Lovely room and pool”
We loved our stay in Eliyath. We stayed in the kohomba room which was cozy and made with wood. We had a swim in the pool after 6pm which was warm and relaxing. We also bought the 4 hour safari from the hotel and had a lovely morning safari and breakfast afterwards. We had great service throughout our stay too!
