🏡 TheTreeHouse, Ginigathena

The three cosy huts at The treehouse are wrapped around towering pines – the trunks shoot straight through the middle of your room. Accessed via a wobbly hanging bridge, they include a tiny bathroom and a balcony overlooking jungled hills – the perfect spot to sip tea and bird spot. Ask friendly host Raj to help you arrange river-rafting tours and a trip to Aberdeen Waterfall. Cultural hotspot Kandy is an hour-and-a-half away.

🌿 Saraii Village

If you want to immerse yourself in nature, Saraii Village is for you. Not only are three national parks under an hour’s drive away (including Yala), but there’s a wildlife sanctuary on your doorstep, and you’ll be roused from your treehouse slumber by the sound of tropical birds. Accommodation is rustic – think ladder access, shared outdoor bathrooms and unavoidable bugs – but that’s part of the charm.

⛰️ Back of Beyond – Pidurangala

Bug spray at the ready? Then you’re all set for a back-to-nature retreat at Back of Beyond Pidurangala, where you’ll find two lofty tree houses and a cluster of cottages. Early birds will love the location in the verdant foothills of Pidurangala Rock – the trail starts close by, so you’ll be able to get a head start on the popular sunrise hike.

🏞️ Back of Beyond – Dehigaha Ela

If your idea of heaven is to immerse yourself in the Sri Lankan wilderness, make a beeline for Back of Beyond Dehigaha Ela. Set within a small forest clearing 8km (5mi) from Sigiriya, here you can spend your days spotting tropical birds, wandering jungle trails, and having your toes nibbled by fish in the crystal-clear stream. Take your pick of three open-sided solar-powered treehouses – or, if heights aren’t your thing, opt for a cottage on terra firma.

🌳 Huma Terra Lodge

The small cluster of solar-powered stilted huts and treehouses at Huma Terra Lodge have thatched roofs and rattan furniture, and overlook a working rice paddy. As well as your affable French hosts Solange and Jean-Loup, you’ll meet their free-roaming menagerie of rescue donkeys, dogs, horses and ducks. Craving a dip in the Indian Ocean? Hikkaduwa Beach is a 15-minute drive away.
