The Cavern offers one of the most unique and luxurious hotel experiences in Sri Lanka. This distinctive three-bedroom luxurious bungalow is built into a cave, nestled within 50 pristine acres of untamed wilderness in the Sri Lankan Highlands.
Each bedroom is ingeniously integrated into the cave’s expanse, providing generous space and adorned with contemporary furnishings in an aesthetically pleasing way.
The surrounding landscape is enhanced by three expansive ponds, creating tranquil sanctuaries where wildlife flourishes. The Cavern is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. It’s not uncommon to spot wild leopards, graceful sambar deer, endangered black bear monkeys, snakes, and a diverse array of flora and fauna.
Highlights include:
- 45 varieties of endemic butterflies, with 15 found nowhere else on Earth.
- 40 species of frogs, 20 of which are unique to Sri Lanka.
The farm-to-table concept at the Cavern is impressive. 80-90% of ingredients used are organically produced on-site, including rice, vegetables, herbs, milk, honey, and certain meats.
Each meal at the Cavern was exquisitely balanced in flavors, crafted with love, and was visually pleasing. Their Sri Lankan Rice and Curry is a must try in our opinion.
The service at the Cavern was excellent, ensuring a well-cared-for stay.
