I just returned from Ulpotha 3 days ago, and the word that sums up my experience is Joy. The synergistic philosophy of the jungle village retreat is stunning. The local village sustains the retreat, the retreat sustains the village; the natural environment thrives and the foliage and animal life is a treat. The accommodation is the best I have ever...

Ulpotha is difficult to describe - I have just had a two week stay there and it has truly been a dream come true. The magic of Ulpotha is now kicking in. If you are someone that needs all the mod cons then Ulpotha is not for you. However, if Iike me you enjoy living in a working Sri Lankan... More

I have just had the most wonderfully rejuvenating week at Ulpotha and I know I'll be going back again which says it all really. Many of the guests there with me were on their 2nd or 3rd visit, one on his second visit this year already!! I can see why. Being off the beaten track and in the middle of... More

this place is over-priced compared to places like galkaduwawa where I stayed later on my trip. but the meals were really nice

Such care is given to every detail, its as if you're living a communal work of art. Passing time here... More

I stayed at Ulpotha for one week at the beginning of their winter season and it was just what I needed. Since returning, I've found it difficult to describe to friends what Ulpotha is exactly. It's more than just a retreat or an eco-lodge, and there is so much thought and care put into the whole project and Ayurvedic center.... More

I have been to Ulpotha twice and I hope to go there again and again. The food is the best I've ever had and the atmosphere is incredibly healing. The lake is divine, and the yoga classes, ayurvedic treatments give you the true meaning of good health.
