The Lodge, a scenic hotel theme resort 170 kms north-central of Colombo is set in a 10-hectare lush woodland that abounds on the fringe of a tranquil, ancient irrigation lake.

The air is pure and filled with the birdsong of exotic Sri Lankan birds. This is the only resort that cannot be photographed from the air as it is surrounded by trees and lush vegetation.
The Lodge architecture is based on Ritigala, the pre-Christian-era forest monastery near Habarana in which, The Lodge is situated. The name Ritigala also applies to the 549-metre-high mountain upon which hides the ancient complex of more than 250 stone pavilions and cells, as well as ponds, bridges, steps and an infirmary complete with stone herbal baths and herb grinders.

Initially developed as a Transit stopover for clients going through to the east-coast beaches, The Lodge grew to be a resort destination with its own distinct identities and unique appeal due to the natural assets and beauty, strategic location.

The Lodge is a splendid base from which to explore the ancient city sites of Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya, Dambulla. Also the Wildlife park of Minneriya where leopard, bear, sambur, deer, monkeys and wide range of birds are a common sight .
