NEAR ELLA. CLOSER TO BADULLA.

A little off
the usual route.

Narangala Retreat Cabin is in Kiri-Oruwa, near Narangala in Sri Lanka’s Badulla highlands. Allow around 45 minutes by road from Ella and approximately 7 km from Badulla town.

Badulla arrival pickup and departure drop-off remain part of the signature three-night stay. Ella and airport transfers can be arranged separately. Your hosts will confirm the meeting point and travel plans with you.

Explore slow days and local experiences, look around the cabin gallery, or read our stay questions.

Just need the cabin?

Stay your own way.

If you prefer fewer nights, more nights, or no fixed itinerary, you can also book the cabin as a flexible accommodation-only stay.
