Tekanda Lodge

Sehr freundliches, professionelles Personal! Super Kommunikation. Sehr sauber

Etwas hartes Bett :)

We had a wonderful stay at Tekanda Lodge. Lodge Manager Upul and the entire staff were incredibly kind, welcoming and helpful. They helped us organise local transportation as well as reservations for restaurants and activities, which made everything very easy. The lodge itself is beautifully designed, extremely clean and set in a stunning location. The views are fantastic and our kids absolutely loved the pool. Breakfast was excellent, and there were also very good options for lunch. The owners provide lots of useful information and recommendations about restaurants, beaches and activities in the area. There are also plenty of great beach restaurants nearby.

Nothing in particular — we really enjoyed our stay.

Mega, wir kommen wieder

Good breakfast spread consisting of local Sri Lankan cuisine and other items . Top notch location . Quite away from main city and away from the hustle and bustle. Very good and attentive staff lead well by the lodge manager UPUL. Great owner Richard who was present during our visit

For what we were looking for , nothing in particular. Except maybe more food options to be available . But given the secluded location, we understand the possibility. So not really something we didnt like . The other thing would be to add more sign posts on the way to the lodge to help in arriving at the location without trouble

Amazing retreat style lodge perched on the hills, beautiful serene views. The staff were absolutely amazing.

Nothing, just wished I had more time

The food was exceptional - breakfast and dinner were highlights of the day for us. The scenery around the hotel was stunning. Staff were super attentive and helpful.

Gorgeous property 2miles away from beach area, very quiet with lots of birdlife. Beautifully presented, very helpful staff. The owners, Charlie and Richard were very welcoming and knowledgeable about the area.

Nothing, would return in a heartbeat.

Beautiful place with wonderful staff. This place feels very exclusive and is really good value for the accommodation and service you get.

Beautiful property with lovely rooms and swimming pool surrounded by rice paddy fields and nature. The owners were very kind and gave a great tour of the tea plantation.

Everything! Tekanda Lodge is in the most beautiful setting with very high levels of service. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. We absolutely loved our stay here and wish it could gave been longer. The rooms are big, spacious and peaceful and the pool is just beautiful.

Nothing. It's a very special place. A very minor point - a fan in the bathroom would be good as it gets quite warm in there.

Loved every minute. One of the best places we’ve ever stayed at

Owners and staff were all fantastic and friendly, and the lodge is in a beautiful, peaceful location. Watching the birds from the main lounge area was a highlight, as was chatting to other guests at the end of the day. Food was really good and the rooms were spacious and well decorated.

Everything was exceptional, starting from the rooms, the breakfast, the location / surroundings and a special thanks to the very kind staff and owners who did everything to make us feel comfortable.

Everything. A fabulous boutique hotel. Wonderful location, great food, fabulous staff - especially Upul, the lodges manager.

Ein Paradies, sehr zu empfehlen!

Possibly the best run small hotel in Sri Lanka . Nothing was too much trouble and the staff were exceptional . A beautiful hill top establishment with English owners who know what they are doing . Advice for the area was brilliant . Mike Moore. Retired restaurateur / hotelier .

Everything is amazing- comfortable rooms, beautiful pool, stunning nature, AMAZING STAFF, and BEST food in Sri Lanka

Wunderschöner Ort, professionell geführt und mit unglaublich freundlichem Personal, tolles Frühstück und für das was man bekommt ein mehr als faires Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis. Ich möchte gerne wiederkommen.

Eigentlich war alles perfekt. Wir hatten ein kleines Problem mit der Fernbedienung für die Klimaanlage, aber sonst war alles mehr als perfekt

Tekanda Lodge was heaven! The setting is incredibly peaceful, with beautiful views in every direction. The staff were wonderful and made our stay effortless. They arranged all of our activities, and we especially loved the tea factory tour, estate tour and morning yoga on the deck. The food was beautifully prepared each day, and the communal dinners were such a lovely way to end the evenings. A special thank you to Richard, Charlie, and Upul for sharing their knowledge and being so welcoming. We would love to come back one day!

Nothing!

Exquisite property. 10/10 hospitality and food. Simple luxury in a beautiful location.

Schön abgelegen vom Trubel des Dorfes, kommt man in der Tekanda Lodge zur Ruhe. Das Personal ist überaus freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück, mit Aussicht ins Grüne, war frisch zubereitet und sehr lecker! Mit ein bisschen Glück konnte man sogar den Affen beim Spielen zuschauen. Uns hat die Balance zwischen surfen und anschliessend in der Tekanda Lodge am Pool entspannen sehr gefallen - wir kommen wieder!

Less than 15mins from the beach, Tekanda Lodge is in a perfect location - nestled amongst the rice paddies and nature. From the moment we arrived, we felt instantly relaxed. It is extremely peaceful and a perfect location to unwind and relax. The views too are unreal! Uppal and his team were amazing - couldn't do enough for us and the breakfast was 10/10.

N/A

Everything about our stay at Tekanda Lodge was beyond perfect. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into a dream. The lodge itself is stunning, perched with breathtaking views and surrounded by lush tropical paradise, complete with a beautiful pool that makes you feel like you’ve discovered a hidden oasis. Our bungalow was magical — spacious, spotlessly clean, and tastefully decorated, with a balcony that opened out to the sounds and sights of the jungle. It struck the perfect balance between comfort and nature, giving us a true sense of escape. The food was fresh, delicious, and always generous, making every meal something to look forward to. What really made the experience unforgettable, though, was the warmth and hospitality. The staff went above and beyond, and our hosts, Charlie and Richard, were not only incredibly kind but also extremely helpful and their journey incredibly fascinating. The tour of the property was very informative— we learned so much and left with a deeper appreciation for the place and its surroundings. Tekanda Lodge is just the perfect tropical paradise and we can’t stop thinking about our stay there. We can’t recommend it highly enough and cannot wait to return!

El hotel es precioso y está en un entorno increíble. La decoración es preciosa y se respira mucha tranquilidad. La habitación muy amplia y cómoda y el desayuno muy bueno.

Por poner una pega, pedimos dos cappuccinos y nos cobraron un precio desproporcional. Teniendo en cuenta que el alojamiento no es de por sí barato, nos pareció fuera de lugar. Está un poco alejado del centro de Ahangama, necesario contar con vehículo para llegar hasta allí.

Tekanda Lodge was the most idyllic place to spend the last couple of nights of my trip to Sri Lanka - the location is beautiful and peaceful, the staff were incredibly helpful. We did a trip to the nearby tea factory which was fascinating and spent the rest of the time lying by the beautiful pool. We watched fireflies by the pool in the evening. We ate all our meals there and the food was amazing. The owners come to the lodge each day and it was so interesting to learn about the area from them. I don't think I can fault Tekanda Lodge, and will definitely come back if I ever return to Sri Lanka. Many thanks for a wonderful stay.

This is a truly exceptional place, well worth every penny. The hotel’s concept is remarkable, with every detail thoughtfully designed to create a seamless and elegant experience.

This is one of the best hotels in Sri Lanka. Perfect location, friendly and customer related staff. Go for it!

Quite simply the most lovely place I/we have ever stayed anywhere and was quite magical and was just what we need to recharge. Eating communally was really great and we got to know the other guests a bit and that only added to our experience. As for all the staff, what can I say, there was not anything that was to much trouble for them and all of them were polite and lovely and the food was amazing. Thank you to everybody at Tekanda for making our stay so memorable

There was nohting we didnt like.

We had a very comfortable and really enjoyable four nights at this boutique hotel. The hosts and owners demonstrate a real and genuine commitment to their values focused on working with an in the community. It is a relatively new and very exciting enterprise. Great staff. Delicious food.

Nothing

Tekanda Lodge was the absolute highlight of our three-week honeymoon in Sri Lanka. Charlie and Richard have created an architectural masterpiece that blends seamlessly with nature, offering a tranquil escape that felt like a second home. Their warm hospitality, along with their wonderful team, made our stay truly special. If you’re lucky enough to find availability, don’t hesitate—book it immediately. I was rather sad to leave, but delighted that my flip-flops have found a better, new life there!

Nothing. Sadly, I enjoyed it too much to take any great pics.

Everything! Tekanda lodge is a true gem. from the kindest hosts and staff, to the breathtaking surroundings and beautifully designed lodge. While there’s a very relaxed and calm atmosphere t, communal breakfast -which is delicious! (lunch and dinner) - gives you the opportunity to meet and connect with other guests. 7-10 mins ride from bustling and fun Ahangama and the beach.

Nothing at all!

Amazing 3 night stay to finish our Sri Lanka trip. Richard & Charlie clearly care a great deal about the Lodge and a huge amount of effort goes into ensuring each guest has a brilliant time. Would definitely return as it is so peaceful and the rooms are brilliant.

Nothing

Tekanda Lodge is a really special place - not only the hotel but everything around it that Richard and Charlie built.The lodge is located on a hill and you've got an amazing view while being surrounded by nature. It's a very nice luxurious stay without being shut off from the surroundings. The Hotel only has six rooms, so it is very calm and relaxed. Richard and Charlie are very welcoming and you feel at home instantly. We are definitely looking forward to come back.

Nothing, really.

The lodge and it’s facilities are exceptional. But the most notable aspect of the stay at Tekanda are the people who work there. Every single person does an incredible job of making you feel well looked after. The meals are also delicious (highly recommend staying in for those). And finally, ‘the vibe’ is just good. I would go back again and again and hope I do!

Honestly, there isn’t anything. 10/10

Everything . the location is idyllic with the most fantastic views

We had an amazing stay at Tekanda Lodge. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the property is truly wonderful. The location is peaceful and privat, still only a few minutes to the beach and restaurants with a tuk tuk. The food was amazing and we enjoyed the community dinner in the evening. Highly recommended if you vist Ahangama.

We can't recommend the place enough. The location is ideal, the place is quiet, the view is stunning, and the food was truly delicious. Our room was very spacious, beautifully designed, with thoughtful details that made our stay extra special. Charlie and Richard, as well as the entire staff, have an incredible energy and are super kind. They showed us the surf spots and recommended various activities. We loved everything about it and want definitely to come back!

Tekanda Lodge is immersed in the nature, where you can fully relax and blend with the surroundings

Nothing , all amazing

The property is located just a short tuk tuk ride from the beach and a lovely beach town. It’s beautifully decorated, fantastic facilities, amazing food and pure relaxation. The staff at Tekanda are excellent. They are more than happy to assist with anything you need and can help arrange activities and excursions. I honestly could not recommend this property enough.

Nothing at all, was excellent.

Tekanda Lodge is a real gem in the Jungle. Amazing hosts and staff look after you and make you feel relaxed and chilled. Views of the jungle and the wildlife we saw from our verandah was entertainment itself. Fabulous food which is also great value for the quality. Great recommendations of trips which were personalized for us. Charlie, Richard and team have made a luxury hideaway home from home. We will definitely be back.

Nothing

Booked this place for a little getaway with my husband. From the moment you pass through the gates and start driving up the hill, the views are breathtaking, and you instantly feel a sense of relaxation, far from the busy. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the food was delicious! I especially loved the Sri Lankan egg hoppers for breakfast, definitely a must-try! The location is close enough to Kabalana Beach and Ahangama, but we enjoyed just swimming and chilling by the pool with its stunning views 🌴🙌🏻 We can't recommend this place enough! Our only regret is that we booked just one night. Next time, we'll stay longer!

Nothing

Secluded location atop a hill. The staff, led by the excellent Upul, were attentive and helpful but never annoying. The property is clean and airy and beautifully built and the gardens are wonderful with a lovely little pool to cool off in. I only had dinner and breakfast but both were delicious and made with local produce.

i could only stay for one night

Staying at Tekanda Lodge was the most magical part of my trip to the south coast of Sri Lanka and is one of those experiences that is truly unforgettable. Nestled atop a hill with breathtaking views of nature and wildlife, it was the perfect location as it was close to Ahangama and the bustling Unawatuna, while being tucked away in a quiet and private property. They have a trusted network of tuk tuk and private drivers to help get you where you would like to be and I found this service incredibly helpful and convenient. The food was outstanding and their menu had a range of authentic Sri Lankan dishes made to order. I loved that there was the option of dining with other guests or dining privately. I only wish I could have stayed longer so I could have tried more menu items. The entirety of Tekanda Lodge had the most calming atmosphere and the detail and thought put into the decor and interiors is wonderful. The room was exquisite and incredibly comfortable, with high quality amenities included. I was also impressed with how many different areas were around the property to sit and relax, or even do yoga. I loved the pool and could have spent many more hours lounging and reading a book. The staff were all lovely, welcoming and extremely attentive to my needs. I have no hesitation in saying this is the best boutique hotel I have stayed at in my life and I cannot wait to return in the future.

The most beautiful place with the most hospitable hosts! Richard & Charlie have created a stunning lodge with breathtaking panoramic views. I could just sit and listen to the sound of the birds all day long.. Surrounded by jungle, yet just a few minutes by tuktuk from Kabalana beach.
