About Us — The Rainforest Ecolodge

WELCOME TO THE FIRST ECOLODGE OF SRI LANKA WHERE NATURE MEETS COMFORT.

Thoughtfully designed to preserve the environment and to simultaneously provide a measure of luxury and comfort, The Rainforest Ecolodge offers an unmatched experience — and not just because it’s the first of its kind, but also because of its flexibility to record the splendour of nature, and simply to bask in it. Having earned the title of “The First Ecolodge” from the governing Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA), the eco-friendly applications of design are implemented right on the borders of the great green forest, the myriad wildlife thrives in safety and its guests can relax in comfort.

OUR STORY

An initiative from The Tourism Cluster

In the turn of the 21st Century, The Competitive Initiative (TCI) was launched by USAID by Sri Lankan invitation to boost Sri Lankan tourism profiles, eventually birthing The Tourism Cluster (TTC) to bring together competitive firms, whose efforts developing joint initiatives explored and diversified the tourism industry. Eventually, these intrepid entrepreneurs, formed a model for future ecotourism in Sri Lanka — nine of whom proceeded to acquire a certain location in Sinharaja. In time, with great study, designs to construct a facility of eco-friendly material that minimizes impact to natural habitats were created, while responsibilities of the program were handed to the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce — and the Rainforest Ecolodge finally opened its doors to the nature enthusiasts, adventurers, and wildlife photographers.
