Alles! Foto's komen niet overeen met de werkelijkheid. Alles was vies. Na 1 nacht terug vertrokken, maar 2 nachten aangerekend. Wanneer we slechts 1 nacht wilden betalen, reageerden ze agressief door te dreigen met de toeristen politie en de airport politie. Ze hebben zelf de booking geannuleerd, waardoor er geen review gegeven kon worden op booking.com, terwijl we daar wel 1 nacht zijn geweest en het volledige bedrag hebben moeten betalen. Blijkbaar na 1,5 eindelijk wel.

This is a very very special place. Do not assume this is a luxury hotel. A lot is missing for what many people expect. HOWEVER if you like to experience and see Sri Lanka in its absolutely glorious untouched and natural state then this is possibly the only place you should visit. Despite giving it a very average score for facilities and luxuries the staff, the experience and the location make up for it in spades. Come here before Sri Lanka is subjected to the mass tourism that’s in the pipeline. The food is also authentic, plentiful and extremely tasty.

It isn’t worth naming the negatives. Because that’s not what this place is about.

Mandaram Eco Resort is truly one of the best destinations in Sri Lanka for anyone seeking tranquility and luxury amidst nature. Nestled in the lush greenery of Mandaram Nuwara, this resort offers an unforgettable experience. The rooms are beautifully designed, combining modern comforts with rustic charm. Waking up to the fresh mountain air and stunning views is a delight. The highlight of the stay is the access to private waterfalls, where you can enjoy crystal-clear, refreshing water in complete seclusion. The scenic beauty surrounding the resort is unparalleled, with breathtaking views of verdant hills, cascading waterfalls, and serene natural pools. Whether you're relaxing by the water or exploring the trails, every moment feels magical. Mandaram Eco Resort is perfect for a romantic getaway, a family retreat, or even a solo escape into nature. A stay here is not just a vacation—it's a rejuvenating experience that reconnects you with the beauty of Sri Lanka.

I visited Mandaram Eco Resort in December, and it was a truly unique experience. The resort provides parking 5 km away, and the journey from there is both interesting and adventurous. The road is narrow and bumpy, but the stunning views along the way make it absolutely worth it. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a warm welcome and treated to a delicious cup of cardamom tea made from their own garden. One of the highlights of the property is Kabaragala Waterfall, located just 200 meters away within their land – it’s breathtaking! The staff were incredibly friendly and honest, making the stay even more enjoyable. They serve mainly local varieties of food, which adds to the authentic and sustainable vibe of the resort. I highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a serene and eco-friendly getaway.

We had the pleasure of visiting Mandaram Eco Resort last week, and it was an unforgettable experience. Without a doubt, this is the top sustainable resort in Sri Lanka. Their commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly practices is truly inspiring. Highly appreciate the incredible work they do to preserve nature while offering such a serene and luxurious experience. We’ll definitely be back!

In my view, this is the top eco-friendly resort in Sri Lanka. They prepare delicious meals using fresh, organic vegetables straight from their garden, which truly enhances the sustainable experience. The only minor drawback I noticed is that they could use a few more staff members to make operations even smoother. Despite that, it’s a fantastic place that perfectly blends nature and hospitality. Highly recommend!

If you’re a digital nomad, Mandaram Eco Resort is the perfect place for you. The staff is incredibly friendly and kind, always making you feel welcome. The peaceful environment is ideal for focusing on work or simply unwinding. Surrounded by nature, it’s a tranquil retreat where you can recharge and connect with the beauty of Sri Lanka. Highly recommend!

If you like different, exciting places off the beaten track then this is the place for you. Amazing scenery, wildlife and rural communities surrounding an old cardamom plantation and gardens set into the cloud forest on the highest peak in Sri Lanka. It's a long, winding drive along a rough ancient track in a 4-wheel drive to get there. Wonderful nature, tranquility and panoramic views await. The price you pay isn't for luxury, and the accommodation is a bit worn around the edges, and the interesting hydro-electric power system is a bit on and off. Rather, the price you pay reflects the challenges of running such a place in a remote location, unique overall experience and the wonderful care and hospitality of the team that run it. The breakfast and dinners provided were great - no need for lunch! Note that even though the map shows this place to be close to Nuwara Eliya it is 2-3 hours trip to get there - requiring some planning to get to the pick-up point by car for transfer to 4-wheel drive up steep and bumpy track (1 hour). Also be aware of the weather as it can be cloudy, wet and foggy out of season - I understand March / April and November / December are the best times to go. We went in early February and got one day rain and cloud, 1 day full sun. This was the most memorable and exciting part of out 2 week trip to Sri Lanka.

Nothing. It was a unique and exciting experience, requiring you to take the tough with the smooth. Not luxury by any means, and the value lies in the location, natural beauty and people running it.
