Pidurangala
Jungle Hideaway
The closest accommodation to Pidurangala rock, tucked into its forested foothills are our tree-houses and cottages. At the entrance, cut off from the cottages, is a café and ayurveda centre. Sigiriya is 10 minutes away.
Our journey began in 2007 with a humble eco-lodge at Pidurangala, nestled in the forest beneath the ancient rock, and has since blossomed into six unique retreats across Sri Lanka. Each place has its own soul Dehigaha Ela’s wild grasslands near Sigiriya, the tranquil Water’s Edge in Anuradhapura, the riverside calm of Kahandamodara, the dune side cottages and campsite by Yala, and the family haven of Weir House in the Kandy hills. From jungle hideaways to coastal sanctuaries, every Back of Beyond lodge is an invitation to slow down, connect with nature, and discover the untold stories of Sri Lanka’s wild heart.
Step into a haven where wellness unfolds in harmony with the wild. Our retreats are designed to nourish body, mind, and spirit — with yoga sessions at sunrise beneath the trees, meditations guided by the gentle flow of streams, and treatments inspired by ancient healing traditions. Indulge in open-air spa therapies that blend natural oils and soothing touch, while the whispers of the forest and birdsong become part of your journey. Allow nature to slow your heartbeat, calm your breath, and awaken a deeper sense of balance within.
Our conservation and community activities give back to both people and nature.
