This place is only for those who truly love being surrounded by nature, and understand its sincerity. I wouldn’t want to share it with anyone else!! Dehi Gaha Ela is a beautiful little Eco lodge hidden between the trees, very close to Sigiriya (The World’s 8th Wonder). I especially liked the broken yet exciting little path that led us to... More

A fantastic place for the discerning nature lover. You will have an amazing experience staying on top of a Tree House and feel the sights, sounds & smell of the Jungle right to the bone. During the day you can dip in the clear water stream just by the resort for a very refreshing afternoon. Nearby is the world heritage... More

When we travelled along the track leading to Dehigaha Ela we couldn’t help but begin to get the sensation that we were literally treading into unknown territory. We could feel that surprise awaited us. As soon as Dehigaha Ela opened up passing over the ridge at its entrance, we were awe struck by what unfolded – a Shangri-la. We will... More

We stayed in the tree house at back of beyond and loved it. The food was amazing. Just get the package that includes breakfast and the evening meal. You won't be going out for your evening meal! The little stream at Dehigala Ela is lovely to swim in and the fish give you a massage. Ask the staff to show... More

We stayed at Back of Beyond for three nights last week. Generally an amazing place to enjoy Sri Lanka's beautiful nature and wildlife. The staff was very friendly, helpful and with a great knowledge about Sri Lanka. The manager even joined us for the near-by elephant safari to make sure we had a good time. You can relax and just...

The Good: This was the first hotel we stayed at in Sri Lanka. It is breathtaking. Gorgeous in the morning with the sunlight pouring in through the trees. You are greeted by the sounds of monkeys and other jungle creatures chattering away. Sleep might come with a bit of difficulty if you are afraid of monkeys as they play on... More

I Stayed here in the Month of January and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The staff were extremely friendly. Food was excellent and tummy friendly, and the price was reasonable. I recommend to every nature seeker out there who would like to escape from the city life. Stay in the tree house. It is an experience worth thinking about for years... More

A place surrounded by the jungle, very close to the nature, lonesome and tranquil. They call it "back of beyond" and that pretty much nails it down. The way to the hotel is long and in very bad condition, actually it doesn't deserve the name "road", it is a path in the jungle. At some time we worried about getting... More

Warning : Keep away extremely addictive formula for Nature Lovers. Do not enjoy or you will get dissolved and immersed in the serene experience. Do not infect the mosquitoes with your toxic city blood. Aptly named, Back of Beyond. It's the most rustic, and serene appointment with nature, which i would never want to end. Stayed just one night but... More

We had a fantastic time at this property. The treehouse and boulder rock rooms provide a unique sense of being immersed in the wild. The open air bathrooms are beautifully designed and spacious. This type of property is for nature lovers, people who aren't afraid of little crawlers and jungle sounds at night. A lovely, original place to stay.
