We’ve used natural, local materials to blend quietly with everything around us, creating an experience that lets you connect fully with this amazing place.

Responsible Initiatives

From the earliest design sketches to placing the last layer of roofing thatch, we’ve come to understand and look to limit the physical, environmental impact of our being here.

We’ve also worked to bring some positive changes, supporting research initiatives to better understand and protect the wildlife in and around Gal Oya National Park.
