Mudhouse

The Mudhouse in Anamadua offers a serene stay amid picturesque surroundings in northwestern Sri Lanka. Circled by lakes and verdant woodlands, this farmhouse style hotel sprawls across clusters of scenic mud dwellings. Arrive at open-sided huts made of natural, locally sourced materials like daub and wattle. Check into clean ensuite rooms that feature rustic thatched roof and an outdoor shower in a separate enclosure. Relax with amenities like cool boxes and mosquito nets while bird books, binoculars and a bike help you explore the rich birdlife and organic farm on the property. Begin your day at the Yoga pavilion in the center of a lake and later catch the evening breeze in your private veranda. As the dusk spreads on the land, savor the flickering glow of oil lamps that light up the shady outdoors. Make your way to the restaurant to feast on Sri Lankan flavors, cooked in traditional clay-pots and firewood. Savor meals of rice, fish as well as a host of seasonal vegetables that celebrate the culinary traditions of the land.
