Cinnamon Paradise

Location. Staff was friendly

Facilities could improve

Une expérience hors norme! Un dépaysement total avec un hôte à votre disposition! Pour ceux et celles qui aiment être proche de la nature et être au calme c'est l'hébergement parfait!

Geweldige plek midden in een kaneel plantage! Sfeervol ingerichte kamer met alle faciliteiten. Champika is een geweldige gastheer! Heerlijk ontbijtje en hulp bij tuk tuk reserveringen. Echt een aanrader!!

Prachtig ingerichte huisjes midden in een kaneel plantage en een heerlijke buiten douche!

J’ai adoré… le calme au milieu des champs de cannelle. La cabane est absolument magnifique la douche en extérieur, incroyable…. Le petit déjeuner était très bon. La sympathie des propriétaires qui font en sorte que vous passiez un bon séjour…. Je recommande à 2000 %. Merci encore pour tout et je reviendrai l’année prochaine.

Rien du tout

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Everything was perfect. The location was great, away from the hustle and bustle of the main road, but only a 5 minute scooter away. The nature was insane. You literally have to walk in between the cinnamon trees to get to your room. You’re surrounded by nature and it’s also very private with the trees blocking out all the other rooms. We saw peacocks, mongoose, monkeys, squirrels, fireflies and more whilst eating breakfast and from our balcony. The host cooked us a lovely satisfying breakfast each morning of toast, eggs and jam and also mixed fruit (included juicy sweet pineapple from the garden!). He was accomodating and lovely company, chatting to us over breakfast and explaining how cinnamon is farmed etc. The room itself was perfect. Clean and beautiful. Everything is wooden and some things are made from the branches of the cinnamon trees. We loved all the warm lighting and the outside shower was amazing. The water is cold but that was a good thing as the Sri Lankan weather is hot! Overall our experience at Cinnamon Paradise exceeded our expectations and was just perfect.

Nothing !

Stunning property, beautiful gardens, great room, the host was super firendly and made the stay even better

The bed was really really firm

We loved our stay here! If you want a stay surrounded by nature in a peaceful setting, then this is the place for you! Champika was so kind to us, making us breakfast in the morning and sharing information about the local area and culture. He even spoke us through how to make cinnamon! Thank you for an excellent experience—we will be recommending this place to our friends and family!

Cinnamon Paradise is an incredible local business. These are the cutest cottages right in the heart of an organic local cinnamon farm full of natural wildlife. The accommodation was perfectly clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. I enjoyed talking to the host about how he built this business from scratch, farming cinnamon, and lots of other interesting information about Sri Lanka. I'd absolutely recommend this for a stay in Ahangama that supports local Sri Lankan entrepreneurship and care for nature.

A peaceful gem away from the hustle and bustle, surrounded by a cinnamon garden. The caring staff makes you feel right at home.

Beautiful place and beautiful people! Cinnamon Paradise was the perfect start to our holiday! Truly a perfect stay. Champi was the most fantastic host, he went above and beyond to make us feel at home. We enjoyed homemade breakfasts every morning with great conversation and local tips. The quiet location is refreshing, away from the busy town centre - but it’s still possible to walk there or to the local beaches. Surrounded by nature, our room was private and peaceful - we especially enjoyed the outdoor shower, and reading our books on the terrace. Cannot recommend highly enough!

One of the best places we ever booked. To stay in such a beautiful and peaceful place, surrounded by nature felt like a different kind of world. We were waking up each morning with the sounds of birds and chipmunks and the monkeys were giving us a show each time, we were like in a lovely mini safari. The design of the villa was amazing, showering outside was the highlight of the stay, everything was super clean and comfortable. The location is perfect as it is a few min away from the beach and main street so you can really feel connected to the nature. We were always looking forward for breakfast time to spend time with Champika, the loveliest host ever, what an amazing heart he has, he will always have a special place in our hearts. We tried Sri Lankan breakfast as well and it was delicious. Very close to go to all the beaches in the South and very good location to start some day trips as well. Initially we booked 5 nights but we decided to stay the next 5 as well as we didn't want to change how perfect everything was. Thank you our dear Champi for everything!!!!

Something like this can't possible exist

We had a lovely stay in this secluded jungle paradise. The owner was so friendly and his wife makes the most delicious breakfast. Definitely a Cinnamon Paradise within walking distance of Ahangama beach.

Cinnamon Paradise is a really special place. Everything about the place is great. Lovely staff, great breakfast! The outdoor shower/toilet facilities are not just a novelty they are a brilliant addition.

Owner and other staff very friendly and welcoming people.

Everything was great

The location and the friendliness of the staff. And the concept was quite serene and unique

We had a truly wonderful stay at this beautiful cabana nestled in the Cinnamon Garden. The outdoor bathroom and tropical garden setting were absolutely stunning — such a peaceful and unique experience surrounded by nature. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming, offering genuine Sri Lankan hospitality and making sure we were comfortable at all times. The Sri Lankan breakfast was very delicious, especially the hoppers — they were freshly made and absolutely perfect! We truly felt at home and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and authentic stay in Sri Lanka. 🇱🇰 🇬🇧✨

Meest prachtige locatie waar we zijn verbleven tijdens onze 2 weekse reis door Sri Lanka. Ik zou het iedereen aanraden

Echt een magische plek net uit de drukte van Ahangama. Super lieve mensen, heerlijk ontbijt en prachtige huisjes.

In nature

Can be noisy due to neighbours not associated with the hotel

Great place to stay in busy Ahagama, away from crowds! The bungalows are so stylish in the middle of cinnamon garden with so many birds and other animals.

Je zit in een afgezonderd paradijsje! Even wennen met een buitenbadkamer maar uiteindelijk was dat heel fijn! Champika kan je met van alles helpen, hij had een scooter geregeld, een paraplu etc. En hij maakt een lekker ontbijt voor je. We zagen apen en andere dieren vanuit onze kamer, echt heel gaaf. Het was de meest bijzondere locatie die we hebben gehad.

Af en toe hoor je een gebed in de ochtend, maar dat is tijdelijk. Lopen is net wat te ver, dus ik zou die scooter huren of een tuktuk laten komen!

We had such a great stay here! Champika was an incredibly kind and welcoming host. He helped us rent a scooter for the duration of our stay and gave us great recommendations for beaches to check out. His wife’s cooking was a real highlight too! both breakfast and dinner were both absolutely delicious. The property itself is beautiful and peaceful. Our room was full of natural light and had a good aircon (a must in the heat!). It’s about a 15-minute walk to the beach, but we actually loved being tucked a bit away from the main road because it made for a super quiet and relaxing stay. Honestly, we were sad to leave. Champika is such a lovely person and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend!

The best experience you can have in Sri Lanka ! The localization is just a paradise on earth! The plantation of cinnamon is gorgeous! Hospitality of the owner makes you feel like home 🫶🏼 everything is homemade so if you want a real quality experience, this is the place to be And THE SHOWER 🙌🏻😍 Thanks for make your first trip to Sri Lanka unbelievable! We promise we’ll come back 🫶🏼☺️ Thanks for everything you did for us ! Virginie and Jonas (the young dentists from Belgium)

Lieu magique dans une plantation de cannelle. On a pu voir et entendre des singes, des varans, des chauve-souris etc. Personnel très accueillant et chaleureux. Très propre, salle de bain magnifique. Petit déjeuner vraiment bon et local. Nous recommandons 100% merci pour le séjour !

Rien

Verstopt tussen de kaneelplanten. Douchen in de openlucht tussen de apen en andere dieren. Heerlijk. Lopend naar het centrum is ook goed te doen. Zeer vriendelijke eigenaren en vertellen graag over hun plantage.

Direi tutto, immersa nella natura ma poco lontano dal centro, la famiglia meravigliosa, colazione eccezionale, un posto davvero SPECIALE🫶🏻.

Super aardige familie. Hele interessante plek en ze vertellen je graag over de plantage. Ze willen overal bij helpen en hadden ook goede tips voor onze reis verder.

Niks!

Het huisje was schattig en de badkamer was prachtig. S’morgens douchen onder toezicht van de apen.

Helaas veel muggen daarom was buiten zitten lastig.

This place was totally incredible and unique 🫶. Our host Champika, and his family, were simply the nicest. Breakfast was so tasty, the rice and curry made by Champika’s wife also is delicious. The fields of cinnamon trees are very soothing and everywhere you look is stunningly beautiful! This is I believe the best place where to stay in Ahangama.

Very good place to stay , we have to go in between the cinnamon plantation, which was a new experience, and everything was perfect, the host was such a nice person

i would request a coffee maker in the room

It’s located in the midst of a cinnamon garden, with also other spices such as black pepper being grown on the side. We also received fresh cinnamon as a souvenir :) The best thing about the stay is the cabana itself; how much attention the owners have paid to the little details. Almost every piece of the cabana was wooden and mind you, most of it made out of pieces that will be usually thrown away as unusable - so very sustainable! After being under the hot sun in the beach area, this was truly a paradise for our overnight stays. Comfortable bed, and amazing concept for bathrooms. We stayed at the ‘nature room’ and absolutely loved our stay here. The breakfasts, although not many options were available, were very filling and were made by the owner’s wife. On the first day we had Sri Lankan pol roti and an egg hopper and a plain hopper (1 each) with lunu miris (chili paste) and seeni sambol (caramelized onions) as condiments and on the second day we had 3 pieces of kiribath (Sri Lankan milk rice) with the same condiments. You always get cut fresh fruits (pineapple, banana and papaya) and tea/coffee based on your choice. It’s a little family run business which is all the more reason to appreciate the place. Would come back!!

There’s nothing that we didn’t like.

Wat een geweldige plek is dit! Champika is super gastvrij en doet er alles aan je verblijf onvergetelijk te maken. Zijn vrouw maakt de lekkerste ontbijtjes! De kamer is super mooi, de buiten-badkamer maakt de ervaring heel bijzonder! We hebben het meest genoten van de gezellige en leerzame gesprekken met Champika tijdens het ontbijt over het leven in Sri Lanka, zijn familie en de kaneelplantage. Toen een volgend verblijf niet door ging konden we onverwacht nog een extra nacht verblijven in Cinnamon Paradise. Wij komen zeker nog eens terug!

Alles! De douche buiten was geweldig, het bed sliep goed en het is een ruime ruimte. Het ontbijt was ook erg uitgebreid en er werken erg vriendelijke mensen.

Het enige wat we kunnen verzinnen is hoe je het kunt vinden. Er staan onderweg wel wat bordjes maar er zou er op het einde nog eentje bij moeten op het laatste kruispunt. Google Maps geeft net niet de goede locatie aan.

La posizione poco lontana dal centro La stanza La gentilezza del proprietario

Champika was an excellent and generous host during our stay. We arrived to check in later in the night and he kindly escorted us to our villa which absolutely exceeded our expectations. The outdoor shower was like something out of a movie! A gorgeous villa nestled amidst hundreds of cinnamon trees meant that every morning we woke up to the fresh smell of cinnamon while breathing in the cleanest air. Champika would sit with us while we ate our home-cooked breakfast prepared by his wife, and we shared stories back and forth. An invaluable experience and we highly recommend Cinnamon Paradise to anybody looking to spend some time in beautiful Ahangama. It’s very evident that a lot of love and thought has gone into establishing this family run business, down to the hand crafted cinnamon furniture.

Our first time in Sri Lanka and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. Cinnamon Paradise is exactly that! Set amidst lush greenery, this is perfect for anyone who values peace and quiet in nature. Janaka and Champika are two brothers that run this amazing place, and were super friendly and hospitable. The breakfast everyday prepared by Champika’s wife was delicious and the fresh fruit from the garden was a nice personal touch. Also, the family of sweet cats that came to visit us everyday definitely added to this amazing experience. Definite looking forward to coming back again.

Very cozy, clean, super beautiful in the heart of nature. The hosts are most helpful and kind, amazing breakfast😊outdoor shower was our favorite!

We loved everything!

Leuk verblijf met geweldig mooie badkamer met buitendouche! Ontbijt was prima. Leuke eettentjes in de buurt om ‘s avonds te eten aan het strand. Huisje ligt op kaneel plantage

Alles prima!

Located right in the middle of a cinnamon field, away from the busy streets of Ahangama but still very well situated. The owner is very nice and we had a peaceful stay at cinnamon paradise, perfect to rest after a day at the beach.

The perfect ending to our Sri Lanka adventure. The accommodation was absolutely stunning and the host was incredibly friendly and helpful. He listened to our wishes and even arranged a scooter for us through a friend.Even when there were unexpected issues with our booking, the host found a solution and let us stay in the same beautiful hut. Each morning we enjoyed a delicious breakfast and had lovely chats about the gorgeous cinnamon garden. A true paradise — highly recommended!

Paradijs van een accommodatie met een super lieve eigenaar. Schoon, warme douche, airco, tussen de kaneelplanten, uit het drukke centrum van Ahangama en een heerlijk Sri Lankaans ontbijt dat iedere ochtend varieerde

Ik kan werkelijk niets bedenken. Indien je geen eigen vervoer hebt is het wat ver lopen naar het centrum

It was a wonderful location, surrounded by nature, with beautiful, carefully crafted houses. The room we stayed in had the most dreamy bathroom imaginable. The host was very welcoming and always willing to help us with anything we needed. We highly recommend this place 100%!

We had an amazing stay at Cinnamon paradise. The family took time out of their day to teach us about the farm, educate us about Sri Lankan tradition and cooked us delicious breakfasts using fresh ingredients from the farm. The rooms are beautifully designed, we loved feeling so close to nature and the outdoor bathroom was a real bonus. We spotted Sri Lankan squirrels, weasels, peacocks and a couple of black monkeys! You will not regret staying on the Cinnamon farm 😊

Wauw, wat een mooie accommodatie! Deze behoort echt tot een van de mooiste, misschien wel dé mooiste, accommodatie waar wij zijn verbleven in Sri Lanka! Het huisje is goed onderhouden en zeer schoon. De buitendouche is echt prachtig. De locatie ligt iets verder van het centrum, maar zorgt er daardoor ook voor dat je geen last hebt van de herrie. Wij hebben echt enorm genoten!

Cinnamon Paradise in Ahangama was one of the most peaceful and memorable places I stayed. Set right in the heart of a working cinnamon farm, the whole property feels quiet, natural, and full of charm. The staff were amazing—warm, genuine, and always happy to share stories or help out. The food was another highlight. Dinner and breakfast were both authentic, home-cooked Sri Lankan meals made with love. Sitting down to eat felt like joining a local family meal, and we even had the chance to chat with the owners, who’ve lived on the land for generations. That added such a personal, meaningful touch to the stay. The bungalows were simple but comfortable, and the outdoor shower was definitely an experience—standing under the sky with the sounds of nature around was something special. From our room, we spotted loads of wildlife: a mouse deer wandered past one morning, we saw a mongoose darting through the trees, and so many colourful birds were always flitting around. If you’re looking for something authentic and quiet, with real connection to the local land and people, Cinnamon Paradise is the perfect spot.

Beautiful jungle setting, gorgeous views. Lovely breakfast provided and staff so helpful and welcoming. Room was very unique and felt authentic.

Slightly further away from Ahangama, you can walk but sometimes in the heat is a slight challenge. You can easily get tuktuks. Outdoor bathroom a novelty but stairs were challenging especially at 3am!

This was by far one of the best experiences we’ve had staying somewhere. The owner of the cinnamon farm is the sweetest man and the cabin itself was a total delight! We had Sri Lankan breakfast every morning and learnt about how cinnamon farming works. Gorgeous outdoor shower/bathroom and comfortable light filled room. The owner helped us organise a motorbike for our stay as well 10/10!

Super

Staying at this charming cinnamon farm was a truly unique experience. The villa is stunning, and the hosts are warm and welcoming. While reaching the property can be a bit tricky—make sure to check your maps carefully!—the effort is well worth it. Some additional signage on the main roads would be helpful, but once we arrived, we felt completely at peace. We loved the outdoor shower, the exceptionally comfortable bed, and the simple yet delicious breakfast—one of the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka. The host was incredibly kind and helpful, making our stay even more memorable. If you’re looking for a serene escape from the hustle and bustle, this is the perfect place!

Super verblijf. Eigenaar heeft ons hartelijk en warm verwelkomd. Mooie accommodatie tussen de kaneelbomen. Mooie badkamer en fijn bed. Huisjes zijn door de familie zelf gebouwd. Bij het ontbijt fruit uit eigen tuin en de host laat je er thuis voelen! Super bedankt

Mooie plek. Lekker schoon. Buiten douche was geweldig!

The owners are truly friendly and warm. And they are really helpful with everything we needed (scooter, tuktuk and even data when there was a powercut). The houses are beautiful and charming. We loved the outside shower. There is a cold one, but also a hot one. The breakfast is traditional and delicious. And the location is perfectly quiet and in the middle of nature. We loved our stay and would highly recommend it!! Thanks so much!!

What an amazing place and experience to sleep here. Highlight of the Sri Lanka trip. The host and owner is an amazing guy, the place clean and so cozy. Breakfast delicious having it in the middle of the cinnamon plantage. Definitely coming back!

I was welcomed and greeted at the train station of Ahamgama upon arrival, picked up and helped with my luggage even though I gave the owners short notice of my arrival time. Because I arrived late, I was given some delicious local food and could go straight to bed... It was such a warm welcome! I felt at home during my two-week stay at Cinnamon Paradise, all my needs were catered for and I am grateful to have felt warmly welcomed. No complaints whatsoever! Thank you for making me feel part of your family.

I don't drink dairy and every day I was given a cup of homemade coconut milk for my tea.... such a treat!

The local family running the hotel took care of me like I was their family too. The hotel exceeded my expectations and I was already expecting a lot after reading the reviews. This place is beautiful, silent, aesthetic, great value for money. As a woman traveling solo for the first time I was a bit nervous. The moment I arrived i felt safe. The inclusive breakfast is a generous bonus.

The only room for improvement is- another light can be added outside the bathroom, and there could be bedside tables.

Waw we are so happy that we’ve been there. Could not imagine something better in Ahangama. It’s was really paradise. Loved the outside shower, the room was so comfortable. The cinnamon garden is outstanding, and the host is super nice and offer really delicious and fresh local breakfast.

Perfect really

Die Außendusche war mein absolutes Highlight!!! Ich liebte es wie im jungle zu sein . Die Familie ist überaus herzlich und das Essen super lecker und frisch. Sie nehmen sich sehr viel Zeit wenn man Interesse an Ihren Anwesen,Land und Kultur zeigt. Ich werde sehr gerne wiederkommen. Es war einfach fantastisch

Stunning A-frame hut with a beautiful outdoor rain shower located in the middle of a eco-conscious cinnamon farm. The hosts are wonderful and have a wealth of knowledge about cinnamon farming.

Lovely little house on for yoursself, outside bathroom, beatifully done. Loved the host

Clean,Simple and Awesome. The outside shower is a great idea and refreshing. The hosts are lovely and went out of their way for us.

Endroit magique. Les hôtes sont formidables. Petit déjeuner excellent. On recommande

Prachtig huisje met buiten badkamer gelegen tussen de kaneelbomen. Ook fijn dat het in een rustige omgeving ligt. Super aardige host!

Beautiful accommodation in the middle of a Cinnamon farm. Surrounded by trees. Room was clean with stairs down to a bathroom. Spiral stairs were a little difficult for me but alternative route can be taken!! Lovely breakfast and welcome. Highly recommend

Уютные домики в садах корицы, тропический душ

Не много сложно было найти

Todo impresionante! 100% recomendable!
