Eco-Friendly Design

Building and Nurturing a Sustainable Future

The design of Ravana Garden is truly unique in terms of both its landscaping and architecture. Conceptualized and designed by renowned architect Sunela Jayawardene, whose passion for environmentally conscious design is well known, our charming gardens were perfected by well-known architect, sculptor, and painter Laki Senanayake, who worked with the late Geoffrey Bawa. Our entire property oozes creativity, sensitivity, and timeless beauty.

The construction of the Ravana Garden was carefully planned and executed in order to minimize its impact on our surroundings, protecting and preserving the natural habitat of the unique native flora and fauna of the region in perpetuity.

Not a single tree was felled to enable the construction of the hotel, and our initial plans for fifteen guest suites as opposed to the final were redesigned to ensure that all of our trees could be preserved. Our lounge, restaurant, outdoor bathtubs, and beautiful guest suites are all constructed to maximize natural light and ventilation and to reduce energy consumption, whilst also providing guests with matchless views over the grounds and surrounding area.

So Much More Than a Stay Away

Local Highlights

The Legend of King Ravana and Ussangoda

The beautiful sandy beaches of Ussangoda are perfect for a gentle stroll, and those looking for a more challenging excursion can scale the Ussangoda Mountain, steeped in local legend and mysticism. According to legend, King Ravana of the Mayuranga Dynasty (which ruled over Sri Lanka 5,000 years ago) frequented the coastline’s mineral-rich ultramafic Serpentine, which is reputed to restore psychic strength, clear the chakras, and stimulate the mind. Ussangoda cliff itself is also believed to be one of the landing sites of King Ravana’s “Dhadu Monara” super-aircraft. We invite our guests to enjoy the natural beauty of Ussangoda National Park, and breathtaking views over Sri Lanka’s Southern coast from your base here at one of the best eco-friendly hotels in Sri Lanka.

Culture and Heritage

Explore Sri Lanka’s Rich Culture

Karambagala and Madunagala boast spectacular views from the top of the rock, where you canvisit the Buddhist monk meditation center to revive yourself. The Madunagala Forest Hermitage andMeditation Centre is adjacent to Madunagala Temple in Southern Sri Lanka, from which Karambagala can also be seen.

The Madunagala Hermitage dates back to the Anuradhapura period and was founded by Sri Gnananandabhimana Mahanayake Mahimi upon his retreat into the surrounding jungle. Legend has it that when he preached at the temple, wild pigs congregated to hear him, and today the area’s natural tranquillity is interrupted only by birdsong. This naturally complements our focus on nature and sustainability, in a modern homage to the ethos of ancient Sri Lanka itself.
