Plantation Retreat

Sri Lanka’s true hidden gem isn’t a place — but its people. 🇱🇰 And nowhere did we feel this more than at Plantation Retreat. From the moment you arrive, Sarath and Deepthi welcome you as if you were already part of the family. Deepthi will make sure you taste what might be the best home-cooked food in Sri Lanka — meals prepared with love, flavour, and tradition that turn every dinner into a memory. Sarath is simply the perfect host. He walks you through his spice garden, proudly shows his fascinating collection of antiques, and invites you to slow down and truly experience the place he has created. Hidden among the jungle, surrounded by greenery and wildlife, the property has something special — a peaceful energy that’s hard to explain but impossible to forget. Every corner is decorated with exquisite taste, making it feel unique, personal, and deeply connected to nature. He even designed his own Sri Lankan steam bath in the on-site spa, where he gives incredible massages himself — an experience that completes the feeling of total escape. Because travelers rarely remember only the places they stay. They remember how those places made them feel. And at Plantation Retreat, you don’t just stay somewhere beautiful — you feel at home.

Everything was perfect

The owners Sarath and his wife Deepthi could not have been better hosts. It’s rare you come across such warmth. Sarath was helpful with finding me a local guide to do a hike. He picked me up from the road as it’s hard for my driver to find. I had 2 delicious Sri Lankan dinners and breakfasts cooked by Deepthi. A tour of the spice garden. A cooking demo. And I was only there a day! Huge comfy bed. Clean facilities. If you are looking for some where off the beaten path to relax and meet great people I highly recommend plantation retreat. Thankyou so much for your hospitality.

Super verwunschene Lage, super nette Gastgeber, welche sehr zuvorkommend waren.

Das Bett war unbequem und die Unterkunft ist schon ziemlich ab vom Schuss. Alleine lässt sich nichts organisieren. Viele Blutegel bei Regen

Mooie rustige ligging ondanks dat er een trein langskomt die toetert. Heel vriendelijke eigenaar en vrouw, heerlijk eten!
