Glimra eco lodge

We had an unforgettable stay with Roshani and her family. Their warm hospitality, the amazing food, and the stunning location right by the lake make this ecolodge truly unique. Roshani and her husband personally built the entire place – including the lodges and the beautifully landscaped garden – a heartfelt project by two locals from the village, not part of a chain. This makes the whole experience wonderfully authentic. The lodges are beautiful, super clean, with a comfortable bed, mosquito net, private veranda overlooking the lake, and everything you need for a relaxing stay. Roshani’s cooking is outstanding – fresh, varied, always local, and even adapted to personal preferences. She and her family genuinely enjoy connecting with guests, always curious and kind, but never intrusive. We loved being greeted every morning by their sweet dogs! Nature here is breathtaking: monkeys, cows, and countless birds throughout the day – and elephants crossing the lake. With a bit of luck, you can even watch them while on the boat, moving alongside as they swim across. The boat trip on the lake with fishermen from the village, exploring its different corners, was another unforgettable highlight. Roshani also arranged other activities and transfers perfectly.

I traveled to this lodge alone and felt the entire time like I was visiting family. Roshani was so attentive, thorough and communicative. She not only provided accommodations but invited me on various cultural experiences so I could get a first hand experience. I highly recommend staying here!

Absolutely unique design and localisation just at the lake! Boat trip at the morning at very low cost was amazing. Highly recommend!

Such a beautiful house so secluded and close to the lake

We had a relaxing two days in nature at the homespun Glimra eco lodge on our way to Uda Walawe safari park. It was great to meet and chat to our helpful and attentive hosts Roshani and Nishanka, who are at the beginning of their journey making a larger lodging ground, and it was special to stay in their first house made by Nishanka himself. We enjoyed our afternoon canoe ride by a local fisherman, and spotting birds and animals by the lake

We chose Glimra Eco Lodge as a stop on our trip between Ella and Tangalle, and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made! Our stay here was the most special experience of our holiday in Sri Lanka. The lodge is beautiful and set near the lake, with everything well-maintained and spotlessly clean. The garden is lovely, and the peaceful location, surrounded by nature, makes it the perfect place to relax. Roshani and her husband were incredibly welcoming and did everything to make us feel comfortable. They prepared a delicious dinner for us and set up a cozy campfire where we could unwind under the stars. Sleeping in the eco-lodge, surrounded by the sounds of nature, was an unforgettable experience. In the morning, they arranged a canoe tour on the lake, which was absolutely stunning. Afterward, a delicious breakfast was waiting for us. We truly hope to visit again someday!

The food was incredible and the hosts were so generous with it, we could not finish it all. We loved the birds and the nature surrounding the property. Roshani took us to a beautiful sunset lookout point. We loved everything about our stay!

Nothing!

My partner and I stayed two nights in Glimra Eco lodge and this was a true pleasure. Roshani and her husband are such amazing hosts and so helpful, it couldn’t be any better. They did everything to make our stay memorable. From cooking delicious meals, to arranging a safari for us in Udawalawe, which is cheaper compared to the usual prices. Roshani also took us to a place nearby to see the beautiful sunset from up above a hill. The views from the ecolodge are amazing. One morning we could even see an elephant having a bath on the other side of the lake!

Nothing, it was perfect!

My stay at the Glima Eco Lodge was an amazing choice and I wished I could spent more time here. Roshani and her husband are such an inspiring and lovely couple. They treat you like you re a part of their family and serve you one of the best food I ever had in my LIFE! The Eco Lodge is so beautiful, it’s very clean and so cozy. The lake is infront of you and you can hear beautiful sounds of birds. The fireplace and the environment is so relaxing and you have the space only for you! Thank you so much for everything, I hope to you see you soon!

It was PERFECT!
