The Ark

• Home away from home  -

What makes ‘The Ark’ unique is, yes it’s acclaimed elevated modern ‘watch-hut’ design, but that’s not all. The entire facility can be reserved for just one touring party, from a couple of nature-loving persons, to a bigger group of up to 6. When you take refuge at this earthly, yet magical eco haven, it is completely yours, until you leave.

• The Adventure –

Nature trails, Bird watching, Cycling and mountain biking, Hiking and trekking, Rain forest exploration, Photography and filming, Fauna & Flora study.

• Green Seclusion– Bordering the tropical Rainforest ‘Sinharaja’, ‘The Ark’ tempts both adventurers and people looking for a relaxing hide-away in a natural paradise. Our 40 acres of private reserve offer various possibilities to discover the magic of wilderness. Enjoy trekking on our reserve, let your mind, body and soul float on top of the mountains in our infinity pool or simply relax on the wooden terrace of the Ark, and perhaps the endangered Purple-faced leaf monkey will surprise you with a glimpse.   

• Infuse your taste-buds;

From Kiribath to Achcharu and Grilled Chicken to English breakfast, your wish is our Chefs command. Eat, drink and relax at the terrace or by the pool-side, whether it’s dusk or dawn. You will experience the natural and untainted taste of vegetables and fruits from our own plantations and the neighbouring villages.
