The Mudhouse, Anamaduwa, Sri Lanka

Nestled in sixty acres of forest in the ancient rural heartlands of Sri Lanka, lies The Mudhouse - a private and seductive retreat, far away from the beaten track.

Flanked by lakes and blessed with abundant bird life, wildlife and natural beauty, The Mudhouse was selected by The Guardian (UK) as one of the 100 most romantic destinations in the world.

The Mudhouse Location: The Mudhouse is two hours drive north from the international airport, close to the town of Anamaduwa. The drive to either Kandy or Colombo is only two and a half hours. Furthermore, it is en-route from Colombo or the airport to the 'Cultural Triangle', making it ideal to visit on your way to or from the famous ancient sites at Sigiriya, Anuradhapura and Dambulla.

Pick-ups can be arranged from anywhere in Sri Lanka.

Due to its remote location, The Mudhouse can be difficult to find. In keeping with the low impact and discreet concept, there are no signs or boards. One of the staff will usually meet you in the nearby town of Anamaduwa. Alternatively your driver can speak to our staff and get detailed directions.

The Mudhouse Accommodation: The Mudhouse consists of a number of clusters of uniquely designed huts spread throughout our 60 acres of forest land. These huts range from a traditional village house to a tree house, all constructed with natural materials sourced locally. Throughout 'The Mudhouse', Traditional wattle and daub and thatched roofing techniques are complemented by our own contemporary vision and design.

Each structure is designed with comfort and relaxation in mind. Whilst all the layouts differ, the facilities are essentially the same. All our huts have outdoor showers and indoor bathrooms with sinks and western toilets, designed in a style that befits the overall aesthetic and back-to-nature theme. Our 'extra bathroom' is the lake adjacent to the land and is great for swimming and bathing.
