Boulder Garden is a remarkable all suite eco-boutique hotel, lovingly designed around a crop of gigantic black boulders. It has been built from local stone, preserving the surrounding natural environment resulting in unexpected luxury and a deep commitment to its natural environment. Here, winding steps will take you around trees with long roots, rock pools where you least expect it and flowing water. You will feel that you are enclosed in the depths of an ancient rain forest, where monkeys and wild squirrels may make malarkey in the trees, an occasional jackal may prowl and eagles and hornbills are regularly seen.

Location: Boulder Garden is set against the lofty mountains and fertile rice and tea terraces at Kalawana in south west region of Sri Lanka. 160 Km from Colombo International Air Port and only 2 Km from Kalawana, 15 Km from Boulder Garden to Sinharaja, the Virgin rain forest. Sinharaja is known for its last viable area of "Primary Tropical Rainforest" of the Country. More than 60% of the trees are endemic and many of them are considered rare. There is much endemic wildlife, especially birds, but the reserve is also home to 50% of the endemic species of mammals and butterflies, as well as many kinds of insects, reptiles and rare amphibians. It lies close to the northern entrance at Wadakale on the Kalawana to Ratwana, and is most naturally reached from either Ratnapura or the hill country.

Accommodation: Boulder Garden offers guests the ultimate in accommodation with opulently appointed guestrooms furnished in traditional style. 10 suites arranged in 4 rising tiers, linked by winding stone steps and deep corridors give a medieval ambience of rock walls, grilled windows massive timber beams and mirror-polished cement floors.

Facilities: The open-air restaurant, with canvas chairs and storm lanterns, rests beneath the largest boulder of all, which supports its own mini-waterfall when it rains, whilst keeping guests dry underneath.
