Take a look inside River House Dambulla

El nacimiento y el origen de esta villa se remontan a una historia memorable e interesante: en 2003, una pareja compró un terreno de labranza de 4 acres, desierto y casi desnudo. La pareja plantó 400 árboles y construyó una casa de fin de semana única y respetuosa con el medio ambiente bajo la dirección creativa de la famosa arquitecta medioambiental Sunela Jayawardena en 2008-2009. El resto, como suele decirse, es historia, pues esta casa se ha transformado en lo que hoy se conoce como The River House, situada en Dambulla. En un lugar bendecido por la abundancia de agua, las montañas, las enormes rocas y la abundancia de tierra cultivable, además de ser uno de los dos centros agrícolas de Sri Lanka, los propietarios encontraron estas razones y otras más para ser un oasis perfecto de retiro para los huéspedes que vinieran de vacaciones. Esta propiedad de 3 dormitorios se ha construido íntegramente con materiales naturales locales, como madera y ratán, y está enclavada entre el templo de roca de Dambulla y el río Dambulu Oya.

River House Dambulla was a sensational start to our Sri Lanka journey. The hospitality, food quality and organisation from the hosts was on another level. Everyone who visits Sri Lanka should stay at least 3 nights at this beautiful place!!

Me and the family had the pleasure of staying at this villa recently. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the stunning surroundings and a sense of tranquility that instantly put us at ease. One of the highlights of our stay was the exceptional service provided by Nandasiri, the caretaker of the villa. Not only did he ensure that we were well taken care of, but he also prepared the most delicious meals for us. Every meal he prepared was a culinary delight. The atmosphere and vibe of the villa were simply enchanting. Whether we were lounging by the pool, enjoying a meal on the terrace, or simply taking in the breathtaking view, every moment felt like a dream. The attention to detail in the villa's design and decor added to the overall charm, making it a perfect blend of luxury and comfort. In conclusion, our experience at this villa was nothing short of extraordinary. The combination of the beautiful nature location, Nandasiri's exceptional service, the enchanting atmosphere, and the attention to detail made it a truly memorable stay. We can't wait to return and create more wonderful memories in this little slice of paradise.

This property is a gem. We found this to be an excellent place to unwind and relax. We loved the ambience. The house being in woods by the river. The things we loved include the abundant wildlife including many species of birds and giant squirrels. Next to the dining room there are many nests of birds. The rooms are decorated tastefully with a view of nature. The beds and linen are comfortable. We loved the food. Nandasiri the caretaker can churn up nice Sri Lankan food and we enjoyed each meal.
