The first thing that struck me while researching our trip to Sri Lanka was how big the island is and the vast landscapes of the country as well as lengthy travel distances.

Our first stop on the island which proved a 5 hour drive from Colombo airport was the stunning Madulkelle Tea and Eco Lodge in the mountain region of Kandy. Nestled in the picturesque tea plantations and the brain-child of a french entrepreneur, stand 19 tent structures that blend perfectly with the natural environment while taking glamping to a whole new level.

While there is little to do on the mini resrot, this is the whole point; to disconnect from the technological world we are so used to and reconnect with ourselves and nature; more so that wifi is not available in the rooms and only the main hall/restaurant area.

The lodge was such a serene and beautiful oasis with the most incredible sweeping views that it was hard not to feel relaxed. Of course these backdrops also made for some wonderful pictures which I've collected below. Enjoy x
