The Mudhouse is currently closed and not taking bookings for 2021 / 2022. This is a temporary measure due to the impact of Covid-19. The property will continue to be maintained and we will let you know as soon as it is open to travellers again.

Leave everyday stresses firmly behind by entering the idyllic and romantic world of The Mudhouse in Sri Lanka’s rural North-West. With no signs to guide you into the 60 acres of dense jungle that hides a number of contemporarily designed huts, it’s well hidden and incredibly private.

Mud walls are smoothed over to give a polished finish to the earthen accommodations which are located in clusters in three separate jungle zones. Attention to detail is second to none; bowls of purple lotus flowers, driftwood furniture, vibrantly colored cushions, hammocks and swinging chairs add a stylish touch while the adjacent lake makes for a refreshing bath.

Accommodation options range from traditional village house to al-fresco open sided doubles, a tree house and a family hut.

Cuisine

The freshest local ingredients are sourced either from the farm or the markets at the nearby town of Anamaduwa. Lunches and dinners include a spread of colorful curries. While preferences are taken into account, the emphasis is on traditional local cuisine using produce commonly grown in the area. The snack boxes in the huts act as mini bars. Hot drinks are available at any time of the day; along with all meals and snacks, as they are included in the accommodation rate. However Mudhouse does not serve alcohol.

Just for the kids

The Mud House is family friendly and ideal for those who like adventure and an outdoors lifestyle.
