Earth house holiday rentals in Hambantota

Only stayed one night at Sandun's place, but a fabulous stay. Went on a great safari tour organized my the host, just a few minutes after checking it. The safari was fantastic with a guide who really knows his stuff, with a keen eye, he kept spotting the animals, that would otherwise not been noticed. After the tour we had a great srilankan dinner at the stay, and then again breakfast in the morning. Delicious!! Highly recommend!!

This is an incredible place surrounded by nature. The rooms are amazing with some trees and really clean. I loved the open roof shower. Sam is a beautiful person that will make you feel like home and will help you with every doubt that you have about yoga, meditation and about life in general. I will try to come back for sure!!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and my daughters were excited to have their own little house! It was well set up with a restaurant across the road for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and also packed breakfast for the safari if needed. The hosts were very friendly and showed us lots of birds and animals in the lush garden. They also shared badminton nets and cricket bats for our daughters to play and put up big hammocks to relax in. They were able to arrange everything such as the safari tour, a trip to the local Buddhist temple and to see a colony of fruit bats, and a car to our next destination. I’d recommend going for the 6 hour safari as you can go a bit further into the park and not be around as many jeeps. We saw elephants, mongoose, monitor lizards, the giant Sri Lankan squirrel, crocodiles, wallowing buffalo and 20+ kinds of birds. Recommended as a place to stay near the safari park entrance.

We had a fantastic stay at Banyan Camp. Came highly recommended by friends who had stayed recently and it managed to exceed our expectations. One of the most peaceful and relaxing places I've ever visited. The whole camp is really well curated, we loved all the local antiques the owner has collected. All the traditional food was great, super healthy and was really fun to have the reasons why the various dishes are eaten together explained! We had a great time with the other guests around the dinner table too! Our dinner on the first night was floating on a raft in the lake under the stars which was a magical experience. Only regret is we didn't stay longer!

Yakaduru was so awesome! If you are looking to get a different experience from the usual hotel/guest house experience, this is where you should go. Yakaduru Safari Village is campfires, open huts, beautiful views, peace and quiet, great food, great company and truly unique experience. The hosts go above and beyond to ensure an enjoyable and safe experience. It was lovely getting to know them and having great conversations about the country.

Such a special and memorable place. I will remember the sounds of the jungle at night most of all! We did the river excursions, floating breakfast and elephant safari all of which were amazing. Delicious food too!

First of all Sam is very accomoddating, helpful and a great listener, he tries to help with any questions or problems you may have. The location is peaceful, beautiful nature, right in the jungle, you will wake with the birds and go to sleep with the sounds of the insects. All very genuine, the best place to do meditation, yoga or whatewer you are looking for to disconnect from the busy world. Hope to come back very soon!

There are many different ashrams, each with its own magic! What we loved most was how the hosts kept telling us: “This is your home.” And that’s exactly how we felt, at home in the jungle, truly welcome! The accommodation is simple and close to nature, deep in the jungle. The last two kilometers, you take a tuk-tuk up, arriving at an incredible view, perfect for unwinding. There’s no set schedule, which made our stay even more relaxing. We meditated at sunrise, did yoga, slept a lot, enjoyed amazing food, read, journaled, had great conversations, and simply lay in hammocks, gazing into the jungle. We cuddled with the house cats and dogs, then repeated it all. Yes, there are mosquitoes, it’s the jungle! No toilet paper either, which makes sense here, dear sister Cathy from LA;) If you already miss everything as you’re leaving—the dogs, cats, Sam, and our dear sister, the soul of the kitchen—then you’ve had the perfect ashram experience. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts <3
